Roxby Downs Snake Hotline FB page

The Snake Hotline is a volunteer emergency response for residents of Roxby Downs to receive assistance with snake handling and relocation.

The service operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Following are some tips on what to do in the event you see a snake or injured wildlife.

Snake - what to do?

  • Stay calm and keep a safe distance.
  • If the snake is near houses, pets or if it is in danger of being injured call the Roxby Downs Snake Hotline on 0497 808 315.
  • Keep the snake within sight until a volunteer arrives.
  • DO NOT try to catch or harm the snake.

Injured wildlife - what to do?

  • The Roxby Downs Snake Hotline responds to snake related call-outs only. For injured or orphaned wildlife please contact Fauna Rescue on (08) 8289 0896
  • Calm the animal by covering it with a blanket or towel and placing it in a dark area, away from loud noises and any other pets you may have.
  • DO NOT FEED the animal. If the animal is kept warm and quiet it can survive without food for up to 12 hours.

The Roxby Downs Snake Hotline is an initiative of the Roxby Downs Environment Forum supported by Roxby Council and BHP.
