Snake Awareness – What Every Local Should Know 🫶✔️
Snakes are a natural part of the environment around Lara and the surrounding regions. As the weather warms, they become more active and sightings increase. Most snakes want nothing to do with people — they’re defensive, not aggressive. Their first priority is always escape.
⸻
🔸What To Do If You See a Snake:
• Stay calm and keep your distance (at least 5 metres).
• Do not attempt to touch, chase or kill it. This is when most bites occur.
• Keep pets and children away.
• Watch from a safe distance so you know its last location.
• Call a licensed snake catcher immediately: 📞 Nate – 0447 001 312
⸻
🔸Why Snakes Enter Properties:
Snakes will move through yards looking for:
• Shelter (wood piles, sheds, rubbish, gaps under houses)
• Food sources (frogs, rodents)
• Warmth
• Water
Removing these attractants greatly reduces the chance of encountering a snake.
⸻
🔸How to Make Your Property Less Appealing to Snakes:
• Keep lawns trimmed and gardens maintained
• Seal gaps under doors, sheds and houses
• Remove rubbish piles and clutter
• Store firewood off the ground
• Keep pet food inside
• Control rodent activity
• Maintain tidy garden edges and reduce hiding spots
⸻
🔸What Happens When a Snake Is Caught?
As a licensed handler, I legally relocate snakes up to 5km from where they were found, choosing areas with:
• Good shelter
• Water
• Food sources
• Safe distance from homes and people
This ensures the snake can survive while keeping the community safe.
⸻
🔸Common Snakes in Geelong Region:
• Tiger Snake (highly venomous)
• Lowland Copperhead (highly venomous)
• Eastern Brown Snake (highly venomous)
⸻
🔸If Bitten (Rare but serious)
• Apply pressure immobilisation bandage
• Call 000 immediately
• Keep the person still
• Do not wash the bite site
