The National Parks and Wildlife Service tells us these brown snakes are wrestling for spring-time mating rights on Tallows Beach near Byron Bay.
With climate change beginning to cause warmer temperatures and lower rainfall, snakes will perhaps become more prevalent in our gardens from now on.
Please remember that all native snakes are protected species and that the brown snake is probably responsible for most of the reported deaths from snake-bite in New South Wales.
If you see a snake leave it well alone.
If you find one in your house, note where it is situated and immediately call WIRES on 6628 1898 or the Northern Rivers Wildlife Carers on 0407 965 092 or alternatively phone the local police to assist with finding someone to remove the snake to a safe area.
