As temperatures rise in southeastern Australia tomorrow, a snake catcher warned residents to watch out for snakes, according to Radio 9.
Snakes sneak into the house in the hot summer looking for a cool spot, according to Gort (Stewart Gatt), the snake catcher. With temperatures expected to reach 42 degrees tomorrow, residents should beware of snakes.
Earlier today, residents found a tiger snake hiding in an air conditioner in a small river, (Little River), 50 kilometers southeast of Melbourne.
After receiving help, Goter came to the house to help remove the tiger snake. Video shows the tiger struggling to get back into the air-conditioning, while Goter grabs it with a net. He said the process took a lot of time.
It is reported that Gordon now receives about 80 calls a week for help, most of which need to be removed from the tiger snake.
Although snakes sneak into the house for the summer in hot weather, they are likely to return outdoors at night, Goter said. "once the temperature drops to about 30 degrees, snakes return to dense forests or to the natural environment in which they live," he said.
Melbourne is expected to have a maximum temperature of 42 degrees tomorrow, and the city is likely to experience short-term rains over the weekend and ease the heat. Adelaide's temperatures are expected to reach 35 degrees tomorrow and fall back to more than 20 degrees by the end of the week. Residents should beware of snakes.
