Canberra Snake Rescue & Relocation

Great experience with Luke catching an Eastern brown snake in an old well next to our house, arrived to our place within 30 minutes to our relief! It was not a straightforward capture, with Luke having to dig 2 wheelbarrow loads of shrubs, dirt and rocks to find her hiding spot. Nice to know she will be relocated to a suitable area, with care taken to make sure she is in the right habitat with enough food. Definitely recommend for peace of mind!

It was day before Christmas and we had an uninvited guest in our home. So beautiful and colourful but scared to go near. We googled and found The number that we need to call. Luke was so friendly and asked to send a picture of the guest who was wrapped in our garage door. He came with his Santa costume with in twenty minutes to get the fellow out and took it to the rescue. It was a beautiful Diamond Python. Thank you so much guys for the excellent service and care. You guys are the best and keep up with your good work. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Luke at Canberra Snake Rescue and Relocation is brilliant. Our cat brought a 1m eastern brown snake inside (although we didn’t know what it was at the time) and we called CSRR straight away. Luke told us what to do while on his way to us - and also advised we take our cat to the vet straight away as he was most likely bitten. He was right - and because of Luke’s advice he received antivenin swiftly and is recovering in a veterinary hospital. Luke came quickly and collected the snake, which we had managed to safely trap in a small space thanks to his advice. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Luke was fantastic. He came out within 20 minutes of calling him and removed a sizeable carpet python from our backyard. We have a lot of small pets so he gave us some information for any future incidents as well as to put our minds at ease.

Gavin gave me great advice on how to keep the Eastern Brown Snake as well as possible while we waited for its rescue. It was badly tangled in my veggie garden netting and about to be exposed to the hot sun when I rang the service. Gavin was very calm and efficient and he obviously cares for the welfare of both the snakes and the families and pets they interact with. It was a pleasure to have him come and help us out.

We had two brown snakes living in our wall. Each morning they would come out and sun themselves. Luke came out and found them in some dense bush when they went for a slither and removed both of them quickly, professionally and kindly. Highly knowledgeable, Luke provided me with excellent advice. Highly recommended snake rescuer.

CSRR have run a yearly Reptile Awareness session for our staff for several years, and multiple school holiday workshops for children aged 7 - 13 years.Luke is passionate, knowledgeable and personable. The presentations are fantastic and get consistently positive reviews from attendees; they provide clear information on how to avoid a snake bite, and first aid if one should occur. The presentations are entertaining while maintaining respect for the animals involved. Would definitely recommend CSRR!

We found a snake in the backyard and it was stuck in some plumbing, we weren’t sure if it was a danger to itself and to us so we called Luke and Emma. Luke came out and untangled the snake and taught us a little about how rare a snake it was, a Blind Snake! He also took it home made sure it was okay and game back the next day to release it back to its environment.He also took the time to show our nephew the snake and let him touch it (.it wasn’t a poisonous snake so it was all fine) made our nephews day.The best service, very quick and easy.

A huge shout out of thanks to Luke from Canberra Snake Rescue & Relocation. I called Luke tonight after getting home to a note that a passerby had seen a brown snake go under our fence.(thank you to the person that did this. Very kind of you to take the time to leave a note). Luke was so lovely and reassuring on the phone and gave me some suggestions of what to do. He said it was unlikely that the snake was still around. I asked if he could come around and he said that he was confident it wasn't necessary at this stage. I really appreciated his honesty and care. What a top bloke! If Luke said I needed $1000 snake removal package...I would have paid him! So nice to come across an honest business. The other thing I 'd like to mention was that I could hear some children in the background...Luke was sill able to help me out even though he's possibly a family man. Thank you Luke. I truly hope I don't need to call you again but I've got you on speed dial just in case!! I would highly recommend contacting this business if you are as nervous as me at the though of a snake being around!

Emma from Canberra Snake Rescue and Relocation came to our house to give the kids in our neighbourhood a lesson on snake safety and also a chance to learn about and interact with the animals. Emma was very generous with her time and made an effort to answer questions from both adults and kids. My neighbours loved it and said they felt a lot safer and more informed and they also had a lot of fun!
