A well-known “snake hunter” is showing “signs of recovery” after a freak accident involving a highly venomous tiger snake.
Melbourne snake catcher Mark Pelley was left fighting for life last week after a routine job went horribly wrong. Mr Pelley’s equipment broke during the capture, allowing the snake to turn its head and latch on to his hand.
Perth's own snake guru Mad Pauly talks to Millsy and Karl about the inherent dangers of the job, as well as the particular type of person it entices.
