Data Records
Arguably the hot spot for the Brisbane and Logan snake catcher, this area is extremely busy for the snake catcher Eagleby, Daisy Hill, Loganholme, Shailer Park and Tanah Merah. Considerably high frequencies of calls come from these suburbs with either requests for advice or the removal of a snake. Carpet pythons again comprise the bulk of call out requests however many an Eastern Brown Snake and Red-bellied Black Snake has been removed from homes in all these suburbs. A number of Marsh Snakes are also removed from these suburbs in particular Shailer Park
With many calls occurring late at night our 24 hour service is available to residents of Eagleby, Daisy Hill, Loganholme, Shailer Park and Tanah Merah anytime. Regardless of the time of night or day it is essential a sighted snake is watched continually as they have the ability to move away with ease making them extremely difficult to relocate. It is in the caller’s best interest to keep continued watch until the snake catcher Logan arrives.
