Rescuing Lizards

  • Only attempt a rescue of a lizard if it is obviously suffering from injury or disease.

  • Ensure you have sturdy, heavy duty gloves.

  • Handle the animal as little as possible as reptile bites can cause bacterial infections.

  • When contained, wrap the animal in something warm and place in a box.

  • Transport to a wildlife carer or vet.

    Relocating Snakes

  • Snakes will usually move away if you stand behind them and thump your feet on the ground to create a vibration.  The snake will naturally want to move away from the vibration.

  • A snake will only need relocating if it is in a situation where it is posing a threat to adults, children, livestock or other animals.

  • Some members of Granite Belt Wildlife Carers have been trained to capture and relocate snakes.

  • If you have a snake that needs relocating, call Steve Vincent on 0447 833 178.

  • Steve is obliged to release the snake within a 4km radius of where it was captured.

  • We do not charge a fee to relocate a snake, but a small donation would be greatly appreciated.  A receipt can be provided.

  • Rescuing Snakes

  • A snake will only need rescuing if it is trapped, or obviously suffering from injury or disease.

  • If you have a snake that needs rescuing, call Steve Vincent on 0447 833 178 or our rescue hotline on 0418 144 073.
