Why do your first and second snake look so different?


These animals vary in colour depending on the said area. I have also seen brown specimens.

You know a lot.
I would love to know more.

I am not comfortable with snakes.
I know that they are less comfortable with me.

On call outs I don’t have to worry about snakes bashing down the door to attack people. My main concern is were the snake has fled to.

MacAdder, I am sure.

I would really not like to go into a space not knowing where a possible reptile might be. I am really a bit daunted by what you do. I do have a horrible fear of snakes. I know, according to my understanding of physiology, that they are pretty much fight/flight.

Doesn't help my freeze button, I'm afraid.
