🐍 Snake season is here! Think you know your reptiles? Put your wildlife knowledge to the test and see if you can answer this tricky question:

Of Victoria’s most common snakes which is the only one to lay eggs? (pictured clockwise from top left - red-bellied black, eastern brown, copperhead and tiger)

Check to see if you were right in the comments.

The warmer weather means you will be more likely to see snakes but remember, they're generally no threat if you give them space.

✅ Tidy your outdoor areas.
✅ Supervise pets and children.
✅ Wear proper shoes and long pants outdoors.
✅ Never try to catch or harm a snake.
✅ Call 000 immediately if a bite occurs.

For more information contact DEECA on 136 186.
