There's lots of rain around at the moment, but once the weather clears, the snakes will be out.
And they already are, with a local resident posting on social media this week saying she spotted three snakes in one outing to Urambi Hills in Tuggeranong.
They were halfway up a fire trail.
Sage advice from another contributor to the post: "Time to walk dogs on streets and keep out of bush during mating time."
Canberra Snake Rescue and Relocation recently posted about retrieving Eastern Brown snakes from Farrer and a home in Hawker.
Early this month, the service also rescued another extremely venomous Easter Brown from a house in Chapman.
"What makes this species dangerous is how we interact with them. Simply provide them with a respectful and safe distance and they will try their up most best to stay out of your way," is their advice.
