Julia’s job is both passion and peril: she is a professional snake catcher in Brisbane, Australia — a hotspot with one of the world’s highest snake populations. Many species here are venomous, dangerous, and some deadly.

Nowhere is safe: snakes appear in kindergartens, bedrooms, toilets, and air conditioners. And the snake season has only just begun. Julia’s everyday life is full of action and suspense, driven by clients in urgent need. Only she, as a trained snake catcher, can handle such high-risk situations.

Her goal: to ensure that no one is bitten — or even killed — by one of the world’s deadliest snakes, the Eastern Brown.

And there are plenty of them in her territory.
