THANKS FOR MY FIRST TIGER SNAKE & THOUSANDS SINCE 6 years ago, I was a single dad with 5 girls aged 2, 6, 8, 10 & 13. My girls were all looking at me from the background as I charged into a Kinglake outhouse toilet to find my first snake. A few minutes later, I came running out with this tiger snake in my hands and successfully captured it without being bitten. My girls in the background clapping and cheering for me. 6 years later and I still have never been bitten. I have since adopted the name: "Snake Hunter", caught literally thousands of snakes in the local area and could not be more grateful for all the support of everyone in the local area who has called me to get a snake. Every day I walk down the street and someone tells me a story of a snake I have captured for them or their family. I have appeared in the media more than 100 times for different snake adventures, now train dogs to avoid snakes and do reptile shows and displays within the local community. Still today, I love what I do for "work" and still have a lot of fun when catching each new snake even if my girls no longer share my enthusiasm as they're too "cool" to come watch me anymore. I have received so much support and appreciation from my home town in Diamond Creek and local area and I could not be more grateful.
