We started this page for you to view the Rescue and Relocations of our Carnarvon & Gascoyne Snakes and other reptiles for educational purposes. We are all about the Protection & Conservation of these beautiful animals who are often looked upon very differently and they don't need to be! I started my journey into the world of reptiles back in 1993 as a volunteer keeper at the Currumbin wildlife sanctuary on the Gold Coast QLD. Soon after I started working with the reptiles. From Olive Python's used for shows to Venomous Mulga Snakes it was all a very steep and fun filled learning curve. My passion for the conservation of these reptiles has grown along with my knowledge but I am still learning more every day from others more proficient and educated on all of our Snakes. Some say even after 50 years they are still learning. Our Scientists and Herpetologists every day are finding new species and discovering better ways to help the future Conservation of our reptiles. This gives us Catchers up-to-date information about species. What habitats we can place them, how far we can translocate reptiles and also food sources that each species like to eat and so much more. The work they do is irreplaceable. Some have devoted their whole lives to our reptiles with many books and scientific papers written about many of our species. There is a world of information out there for us all to learn from. My hope is that we can all live with our reptiles in balance and acceptance. Changing the minds of people can be difficult as the Grandad that taught you to pick up the Shovel or Shoot any Snake still rings in your head. All these things that he told you about Snakes and probably still firmly believes because they don't know or care to educate about Snakes. I'm sorry to say this is not true. It is only a natural human instinct to fear something considered dangerous without education. This is why we started this page; education is the key to change! Snakes are protected under the Nature Conservation Act 2014. It is an offence to kill, injure or take snakes from the wild, there is a $10,000 fine, we cannot turn a blind eye to the killing of Snakes and they must be reported. Spread the word Carnarvon.
