No, the council does not supply a free snake catcher service. No snake catching service is free. Several people with ‘experience’ may offer to remove the snake for free but majority of the time they do not hold appropriate licensing and rarely have real experience with anything besides captive pythons (if that). These people are at a higher risk of being bitten, misidentifying and are acting illegally, possibly leaving you or them with a large fine. Some people may hold a license and perform snake removals for free but these people do it for friends only and don’t have insurance so if they cause damage to your house they will leave you with a large bill. We however, are insured, licensed and very affordable. We remove snakes for only $70, will help anyone in need out and very informative. We have experience with many snakes as we interact with various species on a regular basis. Give us a call, we are very competitively priced!
