- Hey people just a few clips from todays walk hope you enjoyed it or learnt something from it.
I just want to note a few things I did not mention in the video!!
these snakes are highly venomous and should be treated with caution and given their space the point of this video is to demonstrate that snakes are not out to hurt people they just want to have nothing to do with us! I don’t condone handling wild reptiles unless trained.

I was working on my car in northern Sydney and I'd pulled a pile of black rubber hoses out and left them on my bench, when I went to grab the hoses one of them it started to move.
Apparently a Red Belly had thought he'd found a girlfriend and curled up with them, thankfully apart from crapping myself I wasn't hurt. 😂🇦🇺
Me my sister and a friend went fishing at the dam just out from Lithgow NSW and we was walking and my sister screamed and her legs went into the air I was like wtf snake she screamed kid you not biggest red belly I've ever seen must of been 7 foot long fat sucker. When she screamed the snake was that frightened it raced in opposite direction lol.
About 12 years ago while spraying long grass I came across a black belly about 3-4m long, thick as a fore arm, and ran for my life when it turned towards me haha. Checkout Cumberland state forest just past the koala park on castle hill Rd, heading towards castle hill. Loads of snakes in that bush land. Used to work in the IBM complex behind the nursery within the forest, during warmer months came across black belly almost once a week along the creek there, I wasn’t ever trying to pick them up. Haha
You are hilariously brave. Got the Steve Irwin balls of steel
A dead eastern brown snake was in my backyard last year. Ill never forget the day i was standing looking over a ledge and when i looked down in between my two feet was a brown snake going down a hole.
They are very reluctant to bite, quite a calm snake.

Back in the fifties and sixties I went to Marsden Park school were the headmaster asked kids to ride there horses to school to keep the grass down so that we can see the red belly black snakes easier
Hey mate thanks for the video, I just live a few burbs away
I was going ask if that was werrington lakes.
You should do a video at whalen reserve plenty down there.
Thanks for mentioning the name of the place i will definitely never go there
Nice one mate
Nice mate thats my local , growing up in the 80's as kids we used to ride in the trucks to take loads to build Werrington overpass , lots of brown snakes and frilled necks back at that time
Mate, Tiger snakes are startin up down here in Tassie now. I do a bit of brushcutting so keeping my eyes out.👍🦘
Red bellied black snakes in Australia . Fancy that.
Yeah ballsy. Shorts, joggers and walking in snake filled grass 👍
I had a brother in law who shot the daylights out of a disposed bike tyre tube laying in tall grass while he was out on a shotting holiday. PS , the tube was the only thing he shot on that holiday , he just could not pull the trigger on anything he came to see. a change of heart for the love of animals.
@@ronvorbach1464 hahahaha. I bet you never took him shooting again.
Wow! Yeah, tough living in such a small patch of land. Worry it's only a matter of time before they'd be gone from that spot with how few there'd be.
@@AngusMurray 100% give it a few years I recon, even the water dragons are pretty scarce at that spot as well it was a lot different when I was a kid you would do a lap of the lake and see atleast 10 now your lucky to see one
A few years back we had a red belly in our back yard. We are in Lidcombe, heart of suburbia
With duck creek not that far away and all those bats at Clyde your lucky to have only noticed one snake. Rockwood road and Brunker road to Rockwood cemetery to Lidcombe hospital is saturated with snakes of all types.
Came across the healthiest red belly I've ever seen last week. About 6 foot, fat and shiny
Thought it looked like Warrington Lake. A heap of people would be horrified that snakes live there lol
@@grant209 haha yeah you’re not wrong the majority of the locals make a big deal whenever a snake is seen around the lake which is fair enough it’s good to be aware but their over dramatic about it sometimes
@LiamsWildlife1 yep, most people think snakes hibernate during winter, but even during winter, not as frequent as summer, the FB still gets called out to snakes in houses in the Nepean area
Great idea to walk around in long grass where venomous snakes live wearing only shorts and runners. I must try that too
@@artyfhartie2269 go for it champ!
What's the worst that could happen? 😏🇦🇺
@@johno9507 You could get bitten and die a little bit
Haha he's looking for them not walking blind there fairly harmless anyway
As an Aussie, I’m disappointed Liam isn’t wearing thongs
Good onya buddy Keep it up keep on posting videos
@@fisho1288 thanks mate I appreciate that 🍻
Beautiful specimen
Mate come to Oran Park we see at least 2 red bellies a week sunning on the footpaths
Werrington ??? fuark bro that's where i found a massive red belly doing my morning walk
You should try go down South Creek or Eastern Creek they have tons of red bellies
You Are A Legend!😅
I was walking under Silverwater Bridge and I saw the biggest red belly in my life.
must have been some European sheila who got to much sun around her big belly ? .
There’s a footpath just there 🐍
The part of track behind the big sports hall 🐍🐍🐍
@@Antmac75 I haven’t walked around there for a while I’ll have to give it a try soon I usually just skip that part and go to the main lake but I’ll check it out next time
a friend of mine who lives at Pemulway and there are posted signs warning of snake season.
Bush track in Glendenning and Doonside will be firing again now
Where is this lake?
My friend who lived at Leppington on Acerage had them living under the House.
is this werrington lakes? looks like it when i use to live there back in the day lol was packed with red bellys back then they use to chill on the rocks at the L shape bridge all the time
edit: i put this post up before i watched the whole thing my bad haha
@@fatmat6642 that’s okay no worries! And yeah I grew up in werrington the red belly’s used to be a lot more common around the lakes used to see heaps as a kid but now that I’ve been putting in time to find them I’ve only managed to find two and sometimes finding the same individuals on different days
@LiamsWildlife1 have u tried around near the bowl and basketball stadium? Use to be alot there too back in the day also the corner of prince Street the grassland and Creek at back there we use to build bmx jumps there and had a few close calls but was mainly browns back then lol
@@fatmat6642 yeah mate I’ve done all that stuff to it’s a right of passage living in werrington lost skin at bowl more times than I can remember and yeah me and my friends used to ride those dirt jumps as well, never seen any snakes around those particular areas but I was never looking back then
@@fatmat6642 I’m gonna keep going for walks around the basketball stadium and around the creeks would love to find a brown snake but yeah they’ve seem to of disappeared haven’t heard of one being found there for years but you never know
@LiamsWildlife1 this is going back like 20yrs haha I use to live near the soccer fields back then near werro station and next door had chickens and I remember we lost 2 cats they where found dead in the hedges out front and 2 days later we had a brown at our door and then a week later next door saw one and got snake catches out and they ripped up the rock garden out front and found like 4 more lol think they there cause of the chickens and yeah the cats where in the way
Red Belly, Tiger ,Brown and green tree snakes are abundant all over Mount Druitt, St Mary`s Marsden Park and all the areas Parramatta to Emu Plains Liverpool and Richmond . I am talking in residential areas not just bush land and with summer it pays to be careful and keep the lawns mowed and remove all rubbish .Milk on the ground is well noted for attracting tiger snakes. Abundant bird life in your yards will also attract snakes of any type.
I’ve lived in shalvey mt druitt my whole life and never once seen a green tree snake anywhere near here mate
There's plenty of 'em in the Park at Central Park, Campbelltown too. There's a Creek which run just across from the Hospital, so if you get bit by one you're in the right place, just walk across the Road.
@@lucaslonr7938the guy who commented that has no idea
@@lucaslonr7938we could possibly have a few green tree snakes in west Sydney but definitely not tiger snakes or brown tree snakes
@@LiamsWildlife1 I ran over a brown snake in Heath street . There was a number of school children approaching and they may have been in danger. Also a child minding centre near the loading bay entrance to K mart I have seen snake skin there, A neighbour has seen a blacksnake in his garden and another person I know had seen a black snake on the footpath corner of Luxford and Carlisle .
Seen a brown snake in parramatta park
I live in werrington caught diamonds and beardys down there recently
@@carlyclarke9987 really??? 😳 that’s pretty lucky 24 years and I’ve never seen either of those around werrington lakes or even heard reports
Yr very courageous
scary bro
Nice! Do you also have an Instagram page?
@@timmygijselhart379 hey mate yeah @liamswildlife_
Mate I hope you release them later
Na mate I was planning taking them home to keep
@@patkelly6349 of course I released the snake! Reptiles belong in the bush can’t be taking them home ruining the population for future generations
I agree , that grass is bit too long to be walking in searching for snakes with shorts.
Pemulway Greystanes is full of them.
Haha
Go to a GOLF COURSE when the sun is shinning, look for a rock , you'll find a red belly basking in the sunshine ..
