Fact is cuddlier than fiction!
At SnakeSense, we have a goal. We want to see Australia become a place where snakes are accepted and respected as a critical component of our unique ecosystems. We want snakes to live without the fear of “death-by-human”.
The key to achieving our goal is education.
We also have a dream. We want to build the SnakeSense Snake Sanctuary: a world-class education and research centre bringing the secret sides of snakes to society in a brand new way. This sanctuary would also serve as a safehouse for snakes which have fallen victim to the illicit smuggling trade, and would otherwise be destroyed. Click here to read more.
The key to achieving our dream is determination, hard work and some phenominal fundraising!
These two areas are where we need the help of our fellow snake fans. Raise your hand if you want to save snakes!
Everyone has different amounts of time and financial resources available to give: but don’t despair, there are several ways you can help us.

Unlike most other snakes, some pythons coil around their eggs to incubate them.
