Carpet snakes vary in colour, most are olive green with patches, and can grow to more than three metres in length. They are widespread throughout Australia and like to live in rainforest, coastal heath, rural land, park land and in suburbia. It is believed this snake can live for over one hundred years! They are not venomous and are really beautiful animals.
Discarded fishing nets and other rubbish can be very dangerous for these snakes and many other types of wildlife in coastal regions with many animals needing help from Wires wildlife rescue. Please keep our wildlife safe and clean up your rubbish.
