Queensland snake catcher inundated by calls from 'nervous' interstate migrants
A Queensland snake catcher says interstate migration is leading to an increase in call-outs from nervous Victorians as warmer weather wakens amorous pythons.
Gold Coast-based reptile catcher Tony Harrison said "statistically" one in three homes had a python living in the roof cavity and warmer daytime temperatures meant they were starting to move around.
"As soon as the weather gets above 23 degrees it pushes the button for all of the male reptiles to start travelling, looking for females," Mr Harrison said.
"They have one opportunity per year to mate so they try their hardest to get to that female."
