Experience built through real Sydney call-outs

Harley has worked with snakes and other reptiles across homes, businesses, strata properties, workplaces, hotels, public-facing sites and difficult-access locations. Each job requires a practical assessment of the species, behaviour, surroundings and people or animals nearby.

His field work includes removing a diamond python high in a Roseville tree, travelling by boat to a Hawkesbury River island, attending a common tree snake at Sydney’s InterContinental, helping with a sea snake at a Sydney beach and responding to a variety of residential and commercial sightings.

Formal training and licensing

Harley has undertaken formal reptile-handling training since 2015 and operates under NSW General Licence MWL000102655. Professional work focuses on scene control, appropriate equipment, lawful capture and humane relocation.
