Snakebusters are internationally recognised experts at handling, controlling and relocating snakes. We also teach other to do the same with Australia's best reptile handling courses. Details are here.

Reptile handling courses

These days there are a lot of so-called snake catching courses and snake keeping courses on offer throughout Australia.  All of them are taught by people who claim to be experts in reptiles.  Unfortunately, that’s rarely the case.  Most of the time the teacher is a relative novice who has minimal experience with reptiles, and who has gone out and bought a business name like, snake handler, reptile awareness or similar, before erecting a slick-looking webpage and marketing their services.  In other words, it’s wise to check the credentials of the teacher first.  Demand copies of at least 50 recognised scientific or technical papers on snakes published in recognised journals.  If the teacher hasn’t got any such CV, then don’t deal with them.  It’s that simple.  It’s not worth putting you and your loved ones at risk.  Snakebusters have the best snake handling courses anywhere in Australia.  The teacher is the snake man Raymond Hoser, whose publication list runs to the hundreds and whose expertise with reptiles is unrivalled.  Demand the snake man for your next reptile handling course, whether in Melbourne, Sydney or Perth.

Snake Prevention Melbourne

Preventing snakes from entering your property is an import aim for many people.  Whether it’s as a dog owner, or family with young kids, there’s often a need to get the snakes to move away from the family home.  Snakebusters are leaders in advising and consulting about snake prevention.  Besides knowing what snakes like, we also know what they don’t like.  While we are based in Melbourne, Victoria, Snakebusters operate Australia-wide and can offer snake prevention services and relocation to all kinds of homeowners, businesses and government departments.

Reptile removal Melbourne

For 24/7 reptile removal in Melbourne, there’s only one company and that’s Snakebusters.  Yes, a few others claim 24/7 removals, but you’ll find any odd-hours calls go to an answering service.  Then there’s the issue of what happens when the snake catcher gets through the traffic and finally arrives.  Only Snakebusters have Australia’s best trained snake handlers who are most likely to be able to find a snake if it’s moved away before he or she arrives.  The Snakeman Raymond Hoser has taught everyone with Snakebusters and as Australia’s leading reptile expert, he has taught them all the best methods for finding and catching the snakes.  Most importantly, both handler and snake are also most likely to be caught and without bites or injury.  No one are better snake catchers in Melbourne.

Snake control

When snake prevention doesn’t work, snake control becomes another option.  Once again Snakebusters are independently rated Australia’s best choice for snake control.  The snakeman Raymond Hoser’s been dealing with and relocating snakes for decades and so is the master when it comes to snake control.  This doesn’t just involve finding and catching the snakes, but also involves the important element of making sure that more snakes don’t return.  Knowing what snakes do and don’t like, Snakebusters will give any property owner in Melbourne or elsewhere the best peace of mind when it comes to effective snake control.

Snake handler Melbourne

For a snake handler in Melbourne who does not kill their snakes with metal tongs, Snakebusters is a safe bet.  Because, unlike a lot of our competitors, we actually “like” reptiles we make sure that unwanted snakes are caught humanely and painlessly for the snake and they are not injured as they are caught.  Snakebusters only refer work to people who refuse to use metal tongs that injure snakes.  In other words, if you like wildlife and reptiles, besides your own family’s wildlife, but want the venomous reptiles removed, then it makes sense to get Snakebusters as your next Melbourne snake handler.

Snake Capture

In Melbourne, Snakebusters do more snake capture than anyone else.  The reasons are many, but include the fact that the company is recognised as having staff who are the best at finding and capturing snakes.  This includes deadly snakes, small snakes and of course the monsters! Snake controlling, snake relocation and snake wrangling are all part of the CV of Australia’s snake man Ray Hoser, the owner of Snakebusters.  In other words, wherever you are in Victoria, it pays to get snakebusters for your next snake capture.

The Snake Man

Ray Hoser is the snake man. While many people aspire to the title, only one person in Australia is generally known by the title and that's Ray Hoser. While there are many reasons for this, the main one comes down to expertise. No one knows more about snakes than the snake man Raymond Hoser.
