Tiger snake on the move around SAM Precinct

VISITORS to the SAM precinct are being warned to stay alert after multiple tiger snake sightings in recent weeks. Reports have come in to both the Greater Shepparton Visitor Centre and the gallery’s Front of House staff, resulting in specially prepared signage to keep patrons and passersby informed.

On Sunday, November 16, a tiger snake was safely captured by a professional snake catcher after it was seen slithering under the doors at Kaiela Arts, thanks to timely action undertaken by precinct staff.

With a children’s playground and B.B.Q facility close by, community members visiting the popular recreational area are recommended to stay alert for snakes, whose habitat we share.

BEWARE THE SNAKES…Tiger snakes have been spotted multiple times at the SAM precinct, with one particularly audacious reptile slipping under the doors of Kaiela Art Gallery recently. Thankfully, a snake catcher promptly intercepted the scaly visitor, and as luck would have it, the gallery was closed at the time of its unexpected “exhibition.” Photo: The Adviser
