Mr Davis said snakes thrive in the warmer weather, and given that we're in Australia, we can expect to see them on bush trails and walking tracks.

"[There's] definitely more snakes out and about in the warmer weather," Mr Davis said.

"If anybody is out bushwalking, make sure you're covered up on the legs and wear enclosed footwear-don't leave anything exposed where you can get bitten."

Mr Davis said he has been getting a lot of calls around Lake Albert, and more recently in Lloyd.

"They're mainly where the building construction is going on, where they are disturbing their natural habitat," he said.

"With more people out more people are seeing them- that's about all it is- the snakes are always there but if there's nobody there to see them they're not reported."

Mr Davis said the perfect temperature for snakes to be out and about in is around 28 to 32 degrees.

"Between 28 to 32 is ideal for them, probably 25 if it's not bad weather," he said.

"About 10 am in the morning is the main time for them to be out because it's nice and sunny and it's not too hot for them."

Mr Davis knows all too well what it's like to succumb to a snake bite, literally.

On August 17, 2010, Mr Davis' heart had to be re-started after he technically died following being bitten by a snake.

But, despite knowing all too well what the risks of a snake bite are, Mr Davis said it is critical to remain calm.

"The snake is more scared of you than you are of it, all it wants to do is get away from you," he said.

"So if you come across one, keep still and keep your eye on it."

Mr Davis said doctors and specialists said he only survived after the snake bite incident due to knowing the correct first aid procedures.

"85 per cent of people who die from a snake bite die of a heart attack from panicking so much and moving around," he said.

"You're not supposed to move, but try telling somebody that's scared of snakes not to panic if they are bitten."

Mr Davis said should do if they are bitten is to remain still, apply a pressure bandage and get to the hospital as quick as possible.
