Three snake bites have been reported in Queensland in the past two days ahead of what’s expected to be a busy season.

Most recently, one patient was bitten on Johns Road, Cooroibah in the Sunshine Coast region about 12.11am Saturday.

Hours earlier, in the state’s north, another patient was taken to Innisfail hospital after being bitten on the foot at a private property at Mundoo about 6.09pm Friday.

It comes after a woman in her 40s was taken to Gayndah Hospital following a bite to her left at a private property about 10pm Thursday.

All three patients were in a stable condition.

Last week, a woman in her 30s was taken to Townsville University Hospital in a stable condition after being bitten on the leg at a private address at Garbutt about 2am Friday.

All three patients were in a stable condition.

Snake season traditionally runs from September (when the weather warms and snakes emerge from their brumate period) to April but the reptiles can be active at any time of the year.
