Rex Neindorf has been catching snakes in Alice Springs for more than 20 years and says this season has been his busiest ever, thanks to three years of wet summer weather.
abc.net.au/news/alice-springs-snake-catcher-busy-snake-numbers-high-wet-weather/102000698The number of one of Australia's deadliest snakes is on the rise in Alice Springs thanks to three years of consistent summer rainfall.
Mr Neindorf said as a result, many two-year-old western brown snakes were making their way into places where they shouldn't be — down plug holes, behind ovens and even inside furniture. "We had to poke around for a fair while, probably about 10 minutes until the snake appeared on the opposite side [of the couch]""The kids are taking their shoes off before they went into the class," he said.
