Dog owners in South Australia are being warned to stay on the lookout for deadly snakes in their homes or backyards following an increase in the number of dogs getting bitten throughout the state. When Paul Kinnear came home from school pick-up on October 14, he thought it was strange that only one of his two dogs greeted him at the gate.
Snakes are on the move across SA. After searching for his missing pet Maple, Kinnear discovered she was lying in her dog bed and was limp. He immediately suspected she had been bitten by a snake. “She was still breathing but just limp we knew it was a snake bite,” he told 7NEWS. His fears were confirmed when he found the metre-long brown snake dead in his backyard. “The snake looked like it had been in a tug of war between the two dogs,” Kinnear said.
