Snake Season
This spring and summer, many reptiles emerge to bask in the sun, and you should take precautions to minimise the chance of encountering snakes. Remember, snakes are an integral part of the natural environment and play an important role in wildlife ecosystems.
Common Snakes Around Joondalup
Dangerously venomous dugites and tiger snakes are common in the metropolitan area. Both species hunt small mammals, frogs and lizards, and are active during the day and at night in warm weather.
Dugites
Dugites (Pseudonaja affinis) are most common in the drier bushland areas around Perth, especially grasslands. These fast-moving snakes are attracted to aviaries and other locations where mice can be found.
Tiger snakes
Tiger snakes (Notechis scutatus) are most common in vegetation around wetland areas, but may be found well away from water. They are seen throughout the year sunning themselves in open areas.
PRECAUTIONS
- Walk and/or cycle in cleared areas only, where you can see the ground.
- When bushwalking, wear long trousers and boots or other enclosed footwear that preferably cover the ankles.
- Keep a watchful eye on the ground about a metre ahead of where you are walking, and avoid entering areas of long grass, rushes and undergrowth.
- Around your home remove long grass and items lying on the ground such as corrugated iron and firewood, which may provide cover for snakes.
- Reduce mice numbers around the house.
If you find a snake in a garden or a house, contact Wildcare helpline (08) 9474 9055 to be referred to a volunteer reptile remover. If volunteers are unavailable there are commercial snake removal services.
