Things have certainly quietened down, but this little Red-bellied Black Snake had made itself at home in the weep holes right by the front door of a house in Beaumont Hills. The owners were relieved to have it safely relocated to a more suitable spot.

Tiger Snake in Dundas Valley!

We had an unusual call-out today to a property in Dundas Valley, where the homeowner reported that their cat had grabbed a small brown snake. Normally, calls like that turn out to be yellow-faced whip snakes or golden crown snakes — but this one was a surprise.

When we arrived, we found a 60cm tiger snake in the yard. Sadly, the cat had given it a good chew, and it’s unlikely to survive.

Over the past 10 years, only three tiger snakes have been recorded in this area — the previous two were in North Rocks and Telopea. Sightings like this suggest there may still be a small, isolated population hanging on in the region.

It was incredibly exciting to see a tiger snake here, but heartbreaking to find it in this condition.

“….. In sub-Saharan Africa, patients face a “wild west” of antivenoms, with many badly made and poorly regulated in an area where there is a shortage of reliable medicine, experts say. Some antivenoms are about as useful as injecting water.

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) bought samples of antivenoms in three countries and had them tested, and found that more than 70 vials of some of the antivenoms would be needed to treat some bites effectively.

One antivenom company has been accused of fraudulent research. Some antivenoms made to treat Indian snakebites end up in African where they do not work – a trade that experts called unethical.

Investigation reveals ineffective products being sold across Africa, with poor regulation and shortage of effective medication leading to needless deaths

We received another interesting Diamond python call-out today.
The owners heard a possum screaming and went to investigate. The python had grabbed the possum just on sunset. It was able to kill and devour it within about 20 minutes.
The owner filmed the whole thing. It was over by the time we arrived.
The snake was relocated into bushland behind the property….More videos in the comments.
