Here at Logan Village Vets, we’re always happy to help all kinds of animals, including our local wildlife.
We see all different types of wildlife come through the clinic, including non-venomous snakes. However, when we have a venomous snake requiring attention, we call on our local snake catchers, Tony, Brooke and Jensen Harrison, to safely assist us.
Recently, we received a call about an entrapped Eastern Brown Snake. Snakes are often misidentified, with keelbacks, yellow-faced whip snakes and brown tree snakes commonly mistaken for Eastern Browns. In this case, the local person who brought the snake in had correctly identified it, which we were able to confirm.
We called Tony, Brooke and Jensen for assistance, and they were more than happy to help.
This little snake had become trapped in masking tape, and carefully removing it was a delicate procedure. The adhesive had to be gradually reduced to avoid causing further injury, while keeping everyone safe — particularly given we were dealing with one of Australia’s highly venomous snakes.
The Harrison’s were able to safely free the snake from the tape, and it was then taken with them to be released back into the wild.
A big thank you to our local snake catchers for helping us give this little guy the best possible outcome! 🐍💚
