Snake catcher removes 102 venomous snakes from Sydney mulch pile

A snake catcher in Sydney recently received a task to inspect a woodpile at a residence in western Sydney and subsequently released a video showcasing the astonishing results of the snake capture. It is reported that residents of the house had repeatedly spotted red-bellied black snakes near the woodpile, prompting them to seek help from the snake catcher.

Reptile Relocation Sydney stated on its Facebook page: "We received a call to go to a backyard in Horsley Park to remove red-bellied black snakes found on a mulch pile. Over the past two weeks, the homeowner had repeatedly seen several red-bellied black snakes entering and exiting the mulch pile. It is common during this season for some female snakes to gather together and share the same nesting site."

Dylan, the snake catcher in charge of this task, expected to find about four red-bellied black snakes, but as the snake catcher stated on Facebook, "Within minutes, we knew this was no ordinary situation." They wrote: "One after another, snakes kept being discovered." In the end, they not only found the expected four adult snakes but also captured 97 newborn red-bellied black snakes, totaling 102 snakes.

The snake catcher released a video of Dylan catching the snakes, which is a nightmare for those who fear snakes. Although red-bellied black snakes are venomous, like all snakes, they will not actively attack humans unless they feel endangered or threatened. Data from the Australian Museum shows that although many people are bitten by red-bellied black snakes each year, deaths from them are extremely rare, and the authenticity of many historical records is also questionable.

Nevertheless, if you do see one or one hundred snakes wandering around your home, it is best to call a professional snake catcher to handle it. This will not only ensure the safety of you and your family but also ensure that the snakes are safely removed, avoiding unnecessary harm. Consulting a professional is always the safest and most responsible approach.
