Yikes.... Snakes active in July... WT!

[Anonymous]

Came home, let the two little dogs out the door looked down and this is what I saw;

It's not considered warm in SE Qld ATM. My snake catcher man who I emailed this photo to get confirmation of the type of snake said he couldn't believe how active they are right now. Today alone he'd been on two removal call outs.

So this is a friendly reminder to LOCK CLOSE your pet door people!  

It's getting to the stage where those pet door aren't a safe idea in the warmer climates at any time of the year... yikes!

in europe (germany) they experience migrationhs of mozzies (NOT gnats) that were only known to southern europe before.

What is it Dixo?

We have had some small snakes this winter but mostly tree snakes.

You can get doggy doors with a magnet (and a collar) which only allows your pet access.

My sister had one in her yard a couple of weeks ago. She lives in the Mt Ommaney area of Brisbane.

Ugh Dixo, I hate snakes.

be careful up there. Did you find out what it was?

In Melb we're having the warmest winter on record, snakes might be a problem here next summer too.

I get the shudders just thiinking about snakes coming through pet doors

See them quite often up here (Sunny Coast) mainly in the foreshore bushy area's when I walk puppu puppy along the beach.

Thankfully only had one in my back yard and my dog kept a very wide berth let me tell you.
