PARAMEDICS treated seven people for snake bites over the weekend, including one at Mount Cotton and two on Moreton Island.
A person was taken to Redland Hospital just before 7pm on Friday after being bitten on the foot at a Mount Cotton home.
Paramedics said the person was a stable condition.
The rescue helicopter was sent out to Moreton Island the same night, where a woman had been bitten on the foot.
She was taken in a stable condition to the Princess Alexandra Hospital.
Another person was bitten on Moreton Island on Sunday night, and was taken to hospital in a stable condition.
Snake catcher Glenn Lawrence from OzCapture Snake Relocations said people should be on the lookout for baby snakes as hatching season was in full swing.
If the species the snake feeds on are active, it is likely snakes are active too.
With warm, humid and wet weather, frog-eating snakes have been out and about looking for a feed.
Redlands snake catcher Tony Morrison urged residents last summer to watch where they were walking and wear appropriate footwear.
Other snake bites occurred at Narangba, Booroobin and Kobble Creek, in the Moreton region, and Kanigan, north of Gympie.
