If there's a snake at your home or property in Vineyard, call 1300 599 938. Stay a safe distance, move pets clear of the area, and keep your eyes on the snake from a safe spot. The single most useful thing you can do before we arrive is maintain visual contact - a snake that's been watched continuously is far easier to locate. A snake that's disappeared will often reappear, but if we arrive and can't find it, we will need to leave. You don't need to take a photo or identify the species, just watch where it goes.
Vineyard is one of the more genuinely rural pockets left in the Blacktown LGA. While neighbouring suburbs in the growth corridor have been progressively converted into estates, Vineyard has held on to large acreage blocks, working horse properties, paddock country, hobby farms, market gardens and the kind of rural-residential character that has all but disappeared from most of north-western Sydney. That landscape produces a very specific snake profile — and Vineyard sits firmly inside Eastern Brown Snake country.
If you have spotted a snake in Vineyard, call Sydney Snake Catcher on 1300 599 938. We are the original and longest-running snake catching business of its kind in NSW, licensed, insured, and available every day of the year.
If there's a snake at your home or property in Toongabbie, call 1300 599 938. Stay a safe distance, move pets clear of the area, and keep your eyes on the snake from a safe spot. The single most useful thing you can do before we arrive is maintain visual contact - a snake that's been watched continuously is far easier to locate. A snake that's disappeared will often reappear, but if we arrive and can't find it, we will need to leave. You don't need to take a photo or identify the species, just watch where it goes.
Snakes have been living quietly in Toongabbie for as long as there have been snakes in Toongabbie — which is to say, considerably longer than anyone reading this has been alive. Toongabbie Creek runs through the suburb, and the industrial buildings, warehouses and commercial properties along its edges back onto vegetation, drainage and creek corridors that are, from a snake’s point of view, nearly perfect. Industrial properties don’t generate the foot traffic that residential blocks do. No one is in the yard. No kids are kicking a ball around the back fence. No one is gardening. Snakes can live entire lives along the Toongabbie Creek corridor — feeding, sheltering, breeding — without ever encountering a human, and most of them do.
We see the proof of it every season. Most of our Toongabbie callouts trace back to a snake that simply got it wrong — turned right when it should have turned left, came out of cover on the wrong side of a fence, ended up in a backyard instead of back on the creek line. The population is there. It has always been there. People just don’t see it most of the time.

Snake Catcher The Ponds — Call 1300 599 938
If you have a snake on your property in The Ponds, call Sydney Snake Catcher on 1300 599 938. We are the original and longest-running snake catching business of its kind in New South Wales, licensed, insured and available every day of the year. We typically arrive within 30 minutes. While you wait, move pets and children clear of the area, keep a safe distance and do not attempt to handle or trap the snake yourself.
The Ponds is one of the five most-visited suburbs across our entire Sydney service area. Not just the Blacktown LGA. The whole network. Very few suburbs in Greater Sydney produce the volume of callouts that The Ponds does, year after year, and the reason is straightforward: the suburb sits on top of one of the largest and most active residential snake populations in metropolitan Sydney.
Red-bellied Black Snakes dominate our callout figures here, with Eastern Brown Snakes a clear second. Both species are venomous and should be handled only by a licensed professional. If you see a snake, do not approach it, corner it or attempt to move it yourself.
We also service surrounding suburbs including Stanhope Gardens, Schofields, Riverstone, Acacia Gardens, Parklea and Quakers Hill.
The single most useful thing you can do before our snake catcher arrives is keep your eyes on the snake from a safe distance. A snake watched continuously is straightforward to locate and remove. A snake that disappears may reappear, but if we arrive and cannot find it, we will need to leave without being able to help. You do not need to photograph it or identify the species. Just watch where it goes.

If there's a snake at your home or property in Tallawong, call 1300 599 938. Stay a safe distance, move pets clear of the area, and keep your eyes on the snake from a safe spot. The single most useful thing you can do before we arrive is maintain visual contact - a snake that's been watched continuously is far easier to locate.

Rob Ambrose, one of our senior catchers, is a familiar face in Tallawong well beyond the snake jobs. Rob has a serious interest in Indian cooking and is a regular at the chai bars and Indian restaurants across Tallawong and the surrounding suburbs — his attempts at Hindi are good enough that the staff recognise him on sight and respond in kind. Tallawong has one of the higher South Asian populations in the Blacktown LGA, and it shows in the food scene. Rob is welcomed in it. That community familiarity is one of the reasons calls from Tallawong tend to land on a catcher who already knows the streets.
Beyond the food, Tallawong is one of the newest suburbs in the LGA — opened up by the Sydney Metro Northwest, master-planned and built largely from scratch on former farmland and Cumberland Plain woodland. That landscape, like the rest of the growth corridor, produces a steady supply of snake callouts.

Snake Catcher Stanhope Gardens — Call 1300 599 938
If you have a snake on your property in Stanhope Gardens, call 1300 599 938 for professional snake removal. We typically arrive within 30 minutes. While you wait, move pets and children clear of the area, keep a safe distance and do not attempt to handle or trap the snake yourself.
Stanhope Gardens is one of those suburbs people assume won't have a snake problem. Modern houses, master-planned streets, established gardens. The reality is different. We attend Stanhope Gardens regularly, and the suburb sits inside one of the more reptile-active corridors in the Blacktown LGA. Retained bushland runs through the area, drainage corridors connect the suburb to the wider Bells Creek system, and the surrounding nature reserves remain genuinely active reptile habitat.
The breakdown of what we catch here is consistent: around 65 percent Red-bellied Black Snakes, around 25 percent Eastern Browns, and the remainder a mix of Blue-tongued Lizards and the occasional other species. Both snake species are venomous and should be handled only by a licensed professional.
We also service surrounding suburbs including Quakers Hill, The Ponds, Schofields, Acacia Gardens, Parklea and Riverstone.
The single most useful thing you can do before our Stanhope Gardens snake catcher arrives is keep your eyes on the snake from a safe distance. A snake watched continuously is straightforward to locate and remove. A snake that disappears may reappear, but if we arrive and cannot find it, we will need to leave without being able to help. You do not need to photograph it or identify the species. Just watch where it goes.

Seven Hills sits at the edge of the Prospect Creek and Toongabbie Creek catchments, and the green corridors running through and around the suburb provide reliable movement routes for snakes into residential streets. Eastern Brown Snakes are the most commonly reported species across the Blacktown LGA and are present throughout Seven Hills. Red-bellied Black Snakes are found near moisture, drainage corridors and vegetated areas.
Snakes are most active from September through April. Roof cavities, garden sheds, rockeries, dense ground cover and properties backing onto open space or creek lines are the most common locations we attend in this area.
We also service surrounding suburbs including Kings Langley, Lalor Park, Blacktown, Baulkham Hills, Toongabbie, Prospect and Wentworthville.

Some years back, Chris Williams — one of our senior catchers — retrieved a large female Red-bellied Black Snake from a Seven Hills property. While he was holding the snake, it regurgitated four adult striped marsh frogs (Limnodynastes peronii). Two of the four were still alive. One of them hopped away, which told us it was probably the last frog the snake had taken before the catch — and that by that point in the meal, the snake had given up on injecting venom and was simply swallowing prey alive. The frog that hopped off was free, but we suspect, given the porous skin of frogs and the time it had spent inside the snake, that the stomach acid would have had an irreversible effect on its skin. We never found out for certain.
The story is a useful one for Seven Hills specifically, because it tells you almost everything you need to know about the suburb’s snake population in a single anecdote. Seven Hills is red-belly country. Almost exclusively. The reason is the watercourses — natural creek lines and drainage corridors threading through the suburb that support a healthy population of frogs, particularly striped marsh frogs, which in turn support red-bellies. Eastern Browns turn up occasionally, but in Seven Hills the snake you are most likely to see is a Red-bellied Black.

If there's a snake at your home or property in Schofields, call 1300 599 938. Stay a safe distance, move pets clear of the area, and keep your eyes on the snake from a safe spot.

Last summer, in a Schofields car park, one of our team arrived to find the snake call had resolved itself in unusual fashion. A large Eastern Brown had killed and eaten a smaller Red-bellied Black Snake, then disappeared back into the bushes before we could get there. The witness who called it in had assumed, like most people would, that the black snake would be the aggressor — that’s the popular story. The reality is the other way around. Big snakes eat little snakes. A large Eastern Brown will eat a smaller red-belly without hesitation. Black snakes do not police brown snake numbers, and keeping a black snake on your property does not protect you from browns. It is one of the most stubbornly believed myths in Australian snake folklore, and Schofields offered a particularly clear demonstration of why it is wrong.
Schofields sits inside the top twenty most-visited suburbs across our service area. The suburb’s mix of new-estate residential, retained farmland, active construction and the First Ponds Creek corridor produces a steady flow of callouts — and a pretty even split between browns and red-bellies, which makes it one of the more balanced suburbs we work in.

If there's a snake at your home or property in Ropes Crossing, call 1300 599 938. Stay a safe distance, move pets clear of the area, and keep your eyes on the snake from a safe spot. The single most useful thing you can do before we arrive is maintain visual contact - a snake that's been watched continuously is far easier to locate.

Ropes Crossing is a slightly unusual entry in our records. Despite sitting right next to Mount Druitt, Whalan, St Marys and the Ropes Creek corridor — all suburbs and landscapes that deliver steady snake activity — Ropes Crossing itself produces fewer callouts than you would expect from the geography alone. We have over a decade of records across the Blacktown LGA, and that pattern shows up consistently year on year.
There are some plausible reasons. Ropes Crossing was built almost entirely on the former ADI (Australian Defence Industries) site — a single large parcel that was master-planned and redeveloped as a contained modern estate, rather than growing piecemeal onto existing bushland the way most of the LGA did. The retained reserves are now concentrated in defined areas like Wianamatta Regional Park and the Ropes Creek corridor, rather than running through the suburb as scattered remnant patches. The housing stock is uniformly modern — sealed slabs, modern garages, smaller blocks — without much of the older fibro-on-piers and full-of-junk-shed character that delivers so many of our brown snake jobs across the rest of the LGA. None of that makes the suburb snake-free. It does, in our experience, make it quieter than the adjoining streets across the boundary.

If you have a snake on your property in Rooty Hill, call 1300 599 938 for fast, professional snake removal. While you wait, move pets and children clear of the area, keep a safe distance and do not attempt to handle or trap the snake yourself.
Rooty Hill is one of the few suburbs in the Blacktown LGA where Red-bellied Black Snakes outnumber Eastern Browns in our callout records, and there is a clear reason for that. The suburb sits inside a continuous corridor of connected habitat: the Blacktown International Sports Park to the south, the adjoining soccer, baseball, softball and hockey fields, the bushland fringing the precinct, Eastern Creek running nearby and the Richmond rail line cutting straight through the area. Together these create one of the wetter and more connected reptile corridors in this part of western Sydney. Red-bellied Black Snakes thrive in exactly that kind of landscape, and we attend the Sports Park precinct regularly alongside steady residential callouts across the surrounding streets.
Eastern Brown Snakes are also present throughout the suburb and surrounding area, and should be treated with the same caution. Carpet Pythons are a less common but regular callout. All three species should be handled only by a licensed professional regardless of size.
We also service surrounding suburbs including Mount Druitt, Doonside, Minchinbury, Eastern Creek, Blacktown and St Marys. [CHECK: confirm or adjust this list to match where you actually service from this number]
Snakes are most active from September through April. Gardens backing onto open space or the sports precinct, properties near Eastern Creek, roof cavities, sheds and areas with dense ground cover are the most common locations we attend in this area.

Riverstone is different from most of the suburbs we work in across the Blacktown LGA. Despite the growth corridor development pushing in from Marsden Park, Schofields and Grantham Farm, large parts of Riverstone are still genuinely rural — acreage blocks, horse properties, hobby farms, sheds full of feed, paddocks running down to fence lines, and creek country threading through the lot of it. That landscape produces a very specific snake problem. Feed bins draw rodents. Rodents draw Eastern Brown Snakes. Browns are the number one species we catch here, by a clear margin, and Rob Ambrose — one of our senior catchers — has been working snakes around Riverstone for over a decade.
