Snake Removal & Relocation (Hong Kong)

Got Snakes?
When you find a snake around, don't try to kill it or hurt it. Stay calm, don't come close and keep all kids and pets away. Normally, snakes will not come towards people. The only possibility they will give a bite is for self-defense, like when they are cornered, carelessly stepped on, attacked, or grabbed. Don't do anything, just keep an eye on it and contact us for a consultation appointment.

Snakes of Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, we have 51 recognized species of native snakes, including 21 venomous species. Many snakes are active around for 9 months every year. Pythons, cobras, pit vipers, kraits, rat snakes and many other snakes can be easily found in the Peak, Mid-levels, Discovery Bay and all of the Lantau, Lamma Island, and a large part of the New Terrortories.

Win-Win for Snakes and People
Some snakes can be harmful to people but snakes also play an important role in our ecosystem in Hong Kong. We remove snakes from your place without killing or hurting them. Snakes caught will be released in a similar habitat somewhere far away from people.

More than Snakes Catching
Snakes are secretive creatures. Usually you see a snake then it flees out of sight in next second. We can do a complete checkup for possible snakes favorite spots and snake nests. Besides, we can also provide consultation on how to discourage snakes in your place and education on how to identify local snakes.

Why shouldn't it be settled by other methods?
Some people will try to remove a snake by themselves. We don't think it is a good idea for untrained people to take this risk. There are many deadly venomous species in here. Even a little baby snake has the same powerful venom as adults. Some people choose to call 999. That sounds legitimate if you don't know the fact. When police arrived if they see no snake, they will go. If the snake is still there normally they will call a "shea wong", usually an old man who is a chinese snake restaurant's owner. It is also known that many policemen will kill the snakes on the spot, which they think that is the most hassle-free way to get the job done.
