Pet lizard sparks lifelong passion
◆ THE SNAKE CHARMER: Jeff Davies has had a life time of experience with deadly and dangerous animals.
By NICK SINIS
FOR wildlife controller Jeff Davies, dealing with dangerous snakes and animals isn’t just an everyday job, it’s a way of life. The owner of North East Wildlife Control has had an adrenaline fuelled career spanning more than 40 years, with his interest in wildlife beginning at a young age. “It all started with a blue tongue lizard and just grew from there,” he said. “I had one then got a second one and the collection just grew...I had 15 tortoises at one stage. “I got involved with snake catching in NSW and in those days it was voluntary, and then got involved with wildlife rescue.”
