Tailored sessions for Kindy right through to High school.

So book now and let our little creatures meet yours.

Recent visits this term have included Landsdale PS, Bertram PS, Moerlina School and St Stephens.

The only TOAD is the introduced pest, the Cane Toad. We have no tailed amphibians like newts or salamanders, all of which occur on other continents (excluding Antarctica).

This is a small snake only growing to around 40cm once mature. It is a mostly diurnal (active during the day) species from coastal South Western WA. This snake species primarily inhabits wetlands and moist lower lying bushland.

Secretive as most snakes are and seemingly a debris dweller, both hiding in and hunting under cover. Their diet consists largely of frogs and small skinks that are swallowed whole.

It is from the Elapidae family of snakes and so like all Elapids has short fixed front fangs, but this species is considered to be only mildly venomous. However, please still be careful if needing to relocate one. Females give birth to between 3-5 live young during the summer.

One of our recently trained reptile relocators, Kim, came across a few over several days several months ago in the Bunbury area. It took us a while to identify them from the images sent from Kim’s phone - they are probably quite rare, or at least not often encountered. They have many predators themselves and are especially vulnerable to predation by domestic and feral cats.

Getting to grips with a Red Kangaroo joey, Macropus rufus – approach with caution. Even as littleuns these guys pack a punch and a kick too.
