Information Night – with the Southern Highlands Snake Catcher
February 10 , 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Our first speaker to REPS for 2023 will be Ray McGibbon well known as the Southern Highlands Snake Catcher originally from Robertson, now a Bowral resident.
We are well endowed with a variety of snakes in our region. Ray took a special interest in herpetology when he was 6 years old learning the skills of snake identification and handling skills from his father. His longevity is testimony to his expertise which he enthusiastically wants to convey to others for safety and protection. He will talk about species, identification, how to behave around snakes and what to do when you have an encounter.
Important to understand how a snake operates and behaves within it’s home range, how they travel within their environment
To complete his talk he will discuss first aid and what to do when bitten by a snake.
With our rural lifestyle and prevalence of reptiles this is not to be missed.
