Rescuing Lizards

• Only attempt a rescue of a lizard if it is obviously suffering from injury or disease.
• Ensure you have sturdy, heavy duty gloves.
• Handle the animal as little as possible as reptile bites can cause bacterial infections.
• When contained, wrap the animal in something warm and place in a box. 
• Transport to a wildlife carer or vet.

Rescuing Snakes

• Please bear in mind, members of Granite Belt Wildlife Carers do not relocate snakes. 
• A snake will only need rescuing if it is obviously suffering from injury or disease. 
• If this is the case, do not approach the snake, call an experienced snake handler to come and manouvre the animal into some form of containment for closer scrutiny.
