Snakes
Snake weather is happening in Melbourne because the warmer months from September to April are when snakes are most active due to increased temperatures. While the current date is late August, which is early spring, you should be prepared for snake activity to increase as temperatures rise, especially during periods of warm, unsettled spring weather.
When to expect snake activity
Snake Season:
Typically runs from spring (September) through summer and into early autumn (April).
Warm Spells:
Even during the cooler months, snakes can become active during warm spells.
Breeding and Feeding:
Snakes are out and about breeding and searching for food during this period, increasing the chances of encounters.
What to do if you encounter a snake
- Move away: Get away from the snake to a safe distance.
- Call for help: Call emergency services immediately if you or someone is bitten.
- Immobilize: Keep the bitten area as still as possible.
Apply a bandage: If trained, apply a pressure bandage from below the bite and upwards, covering the site.
Tips for staying safe
- Be cautious: Be aware of your surroundings, especially in areas with overgrown vegetation, near water sources, or in newly developed areas where habitats have been disturbed.
- Clear your property: Keep your garden tidy to reduce hiding spots.
- Stay vigilant: Pay attention when walking pets or children outdoors.
