‘Leave them alone’: The Snake Hunter’s message to the community

‘The Snake Hunter’ Mark Pelley has urged members of the community to keep away from snakes and call a professional catcher. Mr Pelley joined Sky News host Rita Panahi to discuss his choice of profession. “I believe snakes play a very important role in the environment,” he said. He explained when he thought he was “going to die” in hospital from a snake bite, his final message to the community was to “still keep away from snakes”. “I was afraid that my being bitten by a snake would cause people to try to go out after them themselves.”
