Deadly reptiles visit Mernda Central

Popular Stories

Mernda Central received a visit from Snakebusters Australia earlier this month, with reptile expert Raymond Hoser educating families about Australia’s deadliest animals.

Known as snake man, Mr Hoser handled tiger snakes, taipans, brown snakes, and other reptiles including pythons, crocodiles, and frogs in front of a large crowd.

“Crowds were bigger than expected due in part to the fact the weather was conducive to people going out, being cooler than earlier in the week,” he said.

Besides entertainment, Mr Hoser has trained snake catchers to service the Whittlesea and Mitchell Shire areas and has educated schools such as Whittlesea Secondary College and Mernda Central College as part of their learning curriculums.

Ms Hoser said residents dealing with snakes could contact local snake catchers that operated in their shires.

“Local snake catchers operate 24/7, with catchers based in South Morang, Wandong, Wallan and Kilmore,” he said.

“All locally occurring species of snakes are venomous and should not be handled by untrained or unlicensed persons.”

Mr Hoser also suggested snake avoidance training for people’s dogs.
