Arguably the hot spot for the Gold Coast snake catcher, Mudgeeraba is a mecca for the snake catcher Mudgeeraba, Tallai, Tallebudgera and Tallebudgera Valley. High frequencies of calls come from these suburbs with either requests for advice or the removal of a snake. Carpet pythons again comprise the bulk of call out requests however many an Eastern Brown Snake and Red-bellied Black Snake has been removed from homes in all these suburbs. A number of Eastern Small-eyed Snakes are also removed from these suburbs in particular Mudgeeraba.

With many calls for Carpet Pythons occurring late at night our 24 hour service is available to residents of Mudgeeraba, Tallai, Tallebudgera and Tallebudgera Valley anytime.

Mudgeeraba

This Carpet Python was a surprising find for this Mudgeeraba tenant. Coiled on top of the toilet, this snake looked very comfortable and didn’t seem to want to move. Our snake catcher responded to the call and within 20 minutes the snake was removed. The snake was released within the thick vegetation located around Advancetown Lake where an abundance of suitable habitat is present. Carpet Pythons occupy a wide variety of habitats ranging from rainforests to dry woodland and farmland. This species is very common in suburban backyards due to their preferred prey of rodents being abundant in these areas. This species is strictly non-venomous although can bite if provoked. Carpet Python bites can cause severe lacerations or punctures and are quite difficult to detach due to their backwards facing teeth. It is important to contact a trained and experienced snake catcher to handle and relocate any snake you may encounter around your home.
