In one case RSPCA rescue officer Jared was called out to a coastal carpet python that had curled up in a trucks grill for an unknown period of time. The truck was set in 2 hours to trek from Wacol to Melbourne, so this little snake got rescued in the nick of time! The snake got a health check and was sent on his slithering way.

If you have taken the necessary steps to ensure you are keeping away from the snakes, but still find one a little too close to you, the first thing to remember is that it’s just as scared of as you are of it. Always keep an eye on the snake and remember to never provoke or throw objects at the snake. Read more about what to do when a snake crosses your path here.
