I have just been reading this article where a 17 year old appears to have been bitten by a brown snake while walking in bushland.
The weather is starting to warm up again, so now is a good time to remind everyone about the services that Working with Wildlife can provide.
Whether it be "in person" training and awareness sessions, catching and first aid equipment, or something as simple as an e-Book, or online training course to get a better understanding of snakes and their behaviour, it is worth considering having a look at the Working with Wildlife website to see what we have to offer.
Remember, it has been a relatively wet winter throughout Australia this year, so there is more undergrowth around and as the weather warms up, this means there are more places for snakes to hide.
If nothing else, make sure you download a Snake Bite First Aid Instruction Sheet to keep in your car - hopefully you will never have to use it, but it is handy to know that it is in the glovebox just in case you, or someone you know, is unfortunate enough to be bitten by a snake.
