Tony Harrison, a snake catcher, said reptiles are more active when the weather gets warmer – it's summer in Australia – a time when snakes come out of hibernation to mate and feed.
He added that in warm weather, snaked often go into people's backyards, schools and other populated areas.
It is illegal to injure and kill snakes from the wild in Australia. According to the Nature Conservation Act 1992, snakes are a protected species under the law. People are advised to call a snake catcher if one is found at their homes.
