It is believed a brown snake bit his hand at a private property at Kensington Grove — about 70km east of Brisbane — that morning. Queensland snake catcher Casey Sholten said while he hadn't noticed too much of a difference in snake behaviour recently, he did notice snakes in the area had become more active a few weeks later than they had in previous years. He said while every situation depended on the circumstances, if a person comes across a snake in the wild, they should keep their distance and do their best not to startle the animal. He said a snake would generally only bite a human if they stepped on the animal or tried to catch it, as this would make them feel threatened. While the calls become few and far between during winter, he can get up to three or four calls a day during the height of summer. With snakes more active in Australia during summer and two deaths from snake bites in the past few months, experts are urging people to act with caution if they encounter one of the reptiles.
