How do I get rid of it.

I think it’s been in the house for a few days. Some large things have been knock over and heard bits of rustling during the evenings.

It seems to be some type of snake.

Oh, you know that already. I assume it is brown. Brown snakes in your part of the world are highly venomous and moderately aggressive. I’d advise leaving it well alone. If you want to be rid of it, get a professional, or at least leave the doors open.

Spocky says it’s likely a Brown and to stay well away from it.
She also says to put a large bowl of water outside, near the window, as it might be after a drink. Not sure how you’re going to open the window from inside though!

I’ve rung the snake catcher in Coraki. Found him on Facebook. Sent a pic so he can identify it.

I’m not going near it till I know what it is. I’d have to rope down the Hubble telescope to get a closer look.

I’d just slide open the window and shove it out, but the latch is right behind the basket.

Likely.

We left the doors and windows open for probably a week or so, and the (never seen) brown tree snake eventually left our place. It had come in to remove its skin, by which I identified it. Yes, it knocked things over, too.

Gawn, Mr Snake. SHOO!!! SHOO!!

The average Australian city-dweller should familiarize themselves with the government run wombat farms where joeys are bred for slaughter. Native veal they call it: superb.

It’s still there. but moved a bit under the basket.

Quickly and warily raided the veggie crisper in the fridge and dumped all the salad stuff (mit ham) and fled. The dirty dishes will have to stay where they are.

Bloody thing’s still there.

When I got up, it was in the middle of the kitchen floor.

Slightest noise and it scurried under the fridge.

It’s still there AFAIK.

I don’t have a rodent problem. Haven’t had one of them varmints for years.

Got a house gecko problem. So it probably won’t leave til it’s eaten me out of house and home.

Are house geckos a source of gourmet tucker for tree snakes?

It’s nature’s balance. Tree snakes eat geckos then go outside looking for love and are eaten by the Currawongs.

That’s what I told my friend when asked me why did god invent flies and mosquitoes. I said, to feed willie wagtails and other flycatchers while the frogs are in competition with the dragonflies.

Nup. No mice. Plenty of cane toads. Did have hundreds of micro bats in the roof, but they disappeared overnight a few years ago.

No cockroaches either. Would tree snakes find cockroaches a tasty morsel?

I do have the house eating bees back, though, after quite a few years. Solitary bees that like eating holes in the mud bricks and mortar.

Have you thought that’s why the snake came down, no more bats to eat?
Have you thought to provide alternative homes for the bees?
I doubt snakes stoop to eating cockroaches when they can get both in the gecko or the frog.

The frogs who live in my rain gauge make it difficult to get accurate readings. They like to live there because the snakes can’t get in.

I’d doubt the snake has been up in the roof with only batshit to eat for years.

The solitary bees have massive sandstone cliffs and rocks out the back to eat and drill holes in. Their natural habitat.

No cockroaches to eat anyway.

I left all the doors open o’night. Haven’t seen if for a few days.

But bloody possum snuck in instead, didn’t it.

Got wacked a dozen or so times with the broom, but all it would do is scurry straight past all the open doors.

Think it went. Haven’t seen or heard it this evening so far.
