A snake catcher has hit back at claims that he planted a toxic tiger snake on a petrol pump in Melbourne. 'Deadly tiger snakes like this ripper specimen have been hitching rides in cars and turning up in weird places this week,' he said. Earlier in the week he found another tiger snake lurking around a children's swing set in Warrandyte at a local council park. Mr Hoser explained that spring is the peak season for snake sightings as they all come out of hibernation. Mr Hoser said snake sightings usually peak on warm weekends but the pandemic had meant more sightings across the week.
