We had a call last night around 10.30pm to a residence in Pearl Beach where the residents came home to a mess on their floor. Upon looking up they saw a problem! A brown tree snake perched up on the rafters.
We hooked the BTS and were we in luck! It was a pair mating.
They were safely released on the ridge above Pearl Beach where they will live without being interrupted again by humans.

We were called to a house at Blue Haven earlier today for a Red-bellied black snake (Pseudechis porphyriacus) that was sighted in the lounge room.
Upon arrival the guys said that it was under the lounge and they could hear it.
Checked the lounge and no snake.
Continued the search and found the snake had been hiding up inside their amplifier!
Caught and released no problems.
Snakes can and will fit into the tightest and smallest areas, where you would think they couldn’t fit.
Pulled the back off the amplifier and here he was, hiding out of sight!
