What to Do If You See a Snake in Ku-ring-gai

If there is a snake on your property anywhere in the Ku-ring-gai Council area, call Sydney Snake Catcher on 1300 599 938. We cover the entire Ku-ring-gai region year-round, seven days a week.

Do not try to handle it. Do not try to kill it. Stay well back, keep the snake in sight from a safe distance, and call. Most snake bites occur when people attempt to catch or remove the snake themselves.

Ku-ring-gai sits along Sydney's Upper North Shore, bordered by extensive bushland, national parks and creek corridors. The area includes Gordon, Turramurra, Pymble, Wahroonga, Lindfield, Killara, St Ives and Roseville. Large established blocks, leafy streets, bushland reserves and properties backing onto Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and Lane Cove National Park create ideal snake habitat throughout the council area. The close connection to natural bush corridors makes Ku-ring-gai one of Sydney's most consistently active snake regions.

The most commonly encountered species across Ku-ring-gai is the eastern brown snake. Eastern browns are found around gardens, retaining walls, sheds, bushland edges and open grassy areas. They are highly venomous and active during the warmer months, particularly in spring and summer. Never approach or attempt to handle them.

Red-bellied black snakes are regularly encountered near creeks, damp gardens, swimming pools and drainage corridors throughout the area. The creek systems running through St Ives, Turramurra and Wahroonga support a consistent resident population. Diamond pythons are extremely common in Ku-ring-gai, particularly in roof cavities, garages, tree hollows and properties adjoining bushland. Green tree snakes, blue-tongue lizards and lace monitors are also regularly seen across larger residential blocks and bushland properties.

Every snake we catch is relocated humanely to suitable habitat away from the property. Sydney Snake Catcher operators are licensed under the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 and fully insured.
