MOST mums would run at the sight of a snake but Gold Coast snake handler Brooke Smith has become a pro at staying calm.

The snake season is just beginning and the 23-year-old has already relocated plenty of serpents from all over the city.“I used to be petrified of them (snakes),” the Paradise Point mother-of-one said.“I’ve now got respect for them but, at the same time I am very nervous when it comes to venomous snakes now that I’ve got a four-month-old baby.

“When I became a mum, that’s when I started being very cautious of them and of not being bitten.”

Ms Smith and her partner Tony Harrison have 300 pet snakes at home and run a snake catching business.

“They’re all in enclosures with padlocks on them and away from the baby,” she said.

Snake Catcher – EASTERN BROWN SNAKES… THEY ARENT ALWAYS BROWN

As you can see the common brown will vary a lot in colour …its a very common snake all over the east coast of Australia and varies from 4 inches to 2m.. the common brown snake has a very short fuse and is really able to defend itself should it be put in the position to have too….. one drop of venom is able to mess with 16 healthy adults… so don’t mess with a snake yourself…. 21 species of snakes and a few legless lizards that can be found in south east QLD all come in a shade of brown… so if you see a long thin brown critter… call before you decide how to handle it…. or take its selfie and text it to brooke or myself and we can let you know what it is…….this snake can be dangerous..please treat all snakes with caution ..
