Some people use bird netting as a snake repellent and this is what happens. This is a photo of a live Tiger Snake caught up in bird netting. I don't know how long it had been there for but it was well and truly trapped.
Bird netting is the natural enemy of the garden snakes. They often get caught up around bird netting and it is near impossible for them to escape. It certainly makes it impossible to help them.
Their scales get damaged in this sort of netting and there would have been no hope of relocating it.
It is a slow and painful death and not a humane natural snake repellant idea I endorse. When trapped in the netting they can strike out at anything that moves - you would too. They could strike your ankle, you child or your pet. BE CAREFUL.
To confound matters you may think the snake is dead but is, in fact, still alive and only moves when you touch it.This Tiger Snake is about 2 years old I think and has enough venom to kill.
If you do come across a situation like this PLEASE be very cautious. (This snake was not on my property, the photo was emailed to me).
