Confronting venom and brutal heat as snakes seek shelter in all the wrong places.

The Sunshine Coast is experiencing a population boom, with new housing developments bringing people and snakes together. Stu visits a client in a new build and discovers an eastern brown snake on the neighbor’s property. He’ll only get one chance to grab it. Stu and Liv are then called to unravel two frisky eastern brown snakes in a home. Separating these two snakes will be a deadly challenge. Jess and Dan assist a client with a baby coastal python curled up, having a catnap. The team finds the snake in the tight spot, and Jess must pull gently to remove it from its hiding spot and avoid a nasty bite. A red-bellied black snake invades a bedroom to take refuge from the heat. Mick and Adele find her wedged between two heavy boxes, and every attempted catch has her on the move. This little lightning bolt is not giving up without a fight!

The countryside between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast is home to hobby farms and many dangerous snakes. When the two combine, our snake catchers get called in. Mick and Adele visit a farm when a young girl discovers a large eastern brown snake. The team plays peekaboo with the deadly snake for over an hour before it makes its dramatic entrance. Jess and Dan are called to remove a feisty red-bellied black snake from a yard. Letting the snake go is not an option when there is a small child who regularly plays nearby. Stu and Liv meet a hungry carpet coastal python chasing its favorite dinner: fresh chicken! Liv reaches to grab the snake, and it quickly wraps around her hand. Even after a short time, its strong grip causes her to lose feeling in her hand. She must move quickly to complete the rescue.
