WANDONG, VIC. — A snake, believed to be a copperhead but potentially a brown snake, has been reported across the road from Wandong Primary School near the rail bridge. 

Local snake removalist Anthony Calleja has been notified and will safely relocate the snake once it reappears, likely on the next sunny day.

The snake has not yet been caught. If you see it, please keep a safe distance and ensure children and pets are kept clear.

“We appreciate the community staying alert and taking care while the snake is relocated,” Mitchell Shire said.

Mitchell Shire Council is unable to assist with snake removal. There are several private snake catchers working in Mitchell Shire and fees for their services will apply.

Injured snakes can be reported to Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.
