In Bondi Vet season 2 episode 10, viewers are introduced to a snake named Charlie who has taken up residence in a family's swimming pool. The family is understandably distressed, as Charlie is an eight-foot-long python and not exactly a welcome guest.
Enter Dr. Chris Brown, the titular vet of the show who specializes in treating animals in the Bondi Beach area of Sydney, Australia. As he explains to the camera, snakes like Charlie are not uncommon in this part of the country, but that doesn't make them any less intimidating to deal with.
Upon arriving at the house, Dr. Chris is met by the anxious family and a pool technician who has been called in to help with the situation. The technician explains that he cannot drain the pool as the water is required to keep the snake wet, so trapping it is the only option.
Dr. Chris agrees and sets to work creating a "snake trap" using PVC pipe and mesh. The idea is to lure Charlie into the trap with a dead rat and then capture it safely using a hook. As Dr. Chris sets this up, he explains to viewers the importance of handling snakes correctly and the risks involved if done improperly.
Once the trap is set, the family and Dr. Chris keep watch as they wait for Charlie to take the bait. There's a moment of tension as they realize they may have missed their opportunity, but then Charlie appears, slithering into the trap as if he knows exactly what they're up to.
With the snake captured, Dr. Chris takes him out of the pool and assesses his health. One of the major concerns with snakes in swimming pools is that the chlorine levels can be harmful to them. Thankfully, Charlie appears to be in good shape, and Dr. Chris suspects he's a pet who has escaped rather than a wild snake who wandered into the pool.
The family is relieved to have the situation resolved, and Dr. Chris takes the opportunity to educate them about snakes and their importance in the ecosystem. He explains that pythons like Charlie play an important role in keeping rodent populations under control, and that there are measures they can take to prevent snakes from entering their property in the future.
As the episode wraps up, Dr. Chris says his goodbyes and returns Charlie to the wild. He reminds viewers about the importance of being respectful of wildlife and the need to find a balance between human and animal habitats. With another successful rescue under his belt, Dr. Chris heads off to his next call, ready to tackle whatever challenges come his way in the wonderful world of animal care.
Overall, Bondi Vet season 2 episode 10 (Pool Python) is a fascinating and informative look at how vets deal with unusual cases involving unexpected animals. With Dr. Chris Brown's expertise and experience, viewers are sure to come away with a newfound appreciation for snakes and other creatures that may seem scary or intimidating at first glance.
