  Carpet pythons are some of the largest snakes found on the Sunshine Coast growing up to 3.5m in length and sometimes even 4m. 

  They are mainly found on the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Deception Bay regions close to homes, particularly in roofs looking for rats, mice and possums.

  The larger snakes usually target small pets such as dogs, cats, chickens and guinea pigs. 

  How to keep safe during snake season 

  – Remove any debris or woodpiles, cut back long grass and shrubbery, remove leaf litter and block any holes around the outside of your house that may look like a safe spot to hide 

  – Keep pests under control. Rodents are a good food source for snakes – less food means less snakes.

  – Keep bird aviaries and chook pens secure, clean and free of rodents. Ensure you have a fine mesh or shade cloth around the outside of any aviary so our snake friends don’t get stuck in the wire.

  – If possible, keep cats inside and snake avoidance training for dogs can literally be a life saver. 

  – Call a professional. Never attempt to catch or kill a snake. This is illegal and snakes are incredibly important to the local ecosystem.
