Paramedics responded to a call to the property at about 4:42pm, finding one person in need of further treatment after suffering an apparent bite.
The person, of unspecified age or gender, was taken to the Gympie Hospital in a stable condition.
On Tuesday the QAS issued a caution to residents statewide about what to do with “snakes on the move”.
“With snakes currently on the move – avoid walking through long grass, wear sturdy enclosed shoes and ensure you have quick access to a quality compression bandage,” the statement said.
