What to do while you wait...

1

Stay calm

Snakes don’t want to harm you — most bites happen when people panic or try to catch them. Take a deep breath and move slowly away.

2

Keep your distance

Stand at least several metres back and don’t try to touch, trap or scare the snake. This keeps both you and the snake safe until help arrives.

3

Keep your children and pets away

Make sure kids and pets are safely inside the house or in a secure area. Curious pets and children can easily make the situation worse.

4

Watch where the snake goes

If it’s safe to do so, watch from a distance and note where the snake goes. This information helps the catcher locate it quickly when they arrive.

Never try to capture or kill snakes—this is both dangerous and illegal.

Vineyard

Snake Removal in Vineyard — Sydney Snake Catcher 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 […]

Toongabbie

Snake Catcher in Toongabbie — Sydney Snake Catcher 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 […]

The Ponds

Snake Removal in The Ponds — Sydney Snake Catcher The Ponds is one of the five most-visited suburbs in our entire Sydney service area. Not just the Blacktown LGA — the whole network. There are very few suburbs across Greater Sydney that produce as many callouts as The Ponds does, year after year, and the […]

Tallawong

Snake Removal in Tallawong — Sydney Snake Catcher 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 […]

Stanhope Gardens

Snake Removal in Stanhope Gardens — Sydney Snake Catcher Stanhope Gardens is one of those suburbs people assume won’t have a snake problem — modern houses, master-planned estate, neat 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 […]

Seven Hills

Snake Removal in Seven Hills — Sydney Snake Catcher 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. […]

Schofields

Snake Removal in Schofields — Sydney Snake Catcher 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. […]

Ropes Crossing

Snake Removal in Ropes Crossing — Sydney Snake Catcher 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 […]

Rooty Hill

Snake Removal in Rooty Hill — Sydney Snake Catcher Rooty Hill is one of the few Blacktown LGA suburbs where Red-bellied Black Snakes outnumber Eastern Browns in our callout records. There’s a reason for that. The suburb sits inside a continuous corridor of habitat — the Blacktown International Sports Park to the south, the adjoining […]

Riverstone

Snake Removal in Riverstone — Sydney Snake Catcher 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 […]

Quakers Hill

Snake Removal in Quakers Hill — Sydney Snake Catcher Quakers Hill sits inside the top ten suburbs we attend across the entire Sydney Snake Catcher service area. Our senior catchers Chris Williams and Rob Ambrose are in Quakers Hill regularly, and have been for years. That on-the-ground presence — not just knowing the suburb in […]

Prospect

Snake Removal in Prospect — Sydney Snake Catcher Prospect is built around one of the most significant pieces of reptile habitat in Western Sydney. Prospect Reservoir is Sydney’s largest reservoir — over 50,000 megalitres of water held back by a 2.2 kilometre earth-fill dam wall, with the 520-hectare lake surrounded by Prospect Nature Reserve. The […]

Plumpton

Snake Removal in Plumpton — Sydney Snake Catcher Plumpton is one of those Blacktown LGA suburbs that doesn’t have a single defining piece of habitat driving the snake work — no major reserve on the boundary, no significant creek through the centre, no industrial precinct. What it does have is the cumulative effect of an […]

Parklea

Snake Removal in Parklea — Sydney Snake Catcher The defining feature of Parklea, from a snake catcher’s point of view, is the Parklea Correctional Complex. The complex occupies a substantial parcel of land in the suburb, with extensive grounds, perimeter bushland and security buffers retained around the operational facilities. That land — large, undisturbed, lightly […]

Mount Druitt

Snake Removal in the Mount Druitt Area — Sydney Snake Catcher We catch snakes across the whole Mount Druitt area. This page covers Mount Druitt, Whalan, Tregear, Bidwill, Willmot, Shalvey, Hebersham, Lethbridge Park, Emerton and Hassall Grove. We come to all of these suburbs every week through the warmer months. We are licensed, insured, and […]

Minchinbury

Snake Removal in Minchinbury — Sydney Snake Catcher Minchinbury is one of our most actively contracted commercial snake removal areas in Western Sydney. The Minchinbury industrial estate along the eastern edge of the suburb houses several major international companies — and Sydney Snake Catcher holds the snake removal contract for several of them. Our senior […]

Marsden Park

Snake Removal in Marsden Park — Sydney Snake Catcher Marsden Park is, quite simply, our highest-volume suburb across the entire Blacktown LGA growth corridor. In some seasons it’s the highest-volume suburb in our entire Sydney service area. There’s no mystery to it. Marsden Park is sitting at the centre of one of the largest active […]

Marayong

Snake Removal in Marayong — Sydney Snake Catcher Marayong is an established residential suburb in the Blacktown LGA, sitting between Blacktown, Quakers Hill, Kings Park and Kings Langley. We attend Marayong properties for snake removal throughout the warmer months of the year. The most common species we catch here are the Eastern Brown Snake and […]

Lalor Park

Snake Removal in Lalor Park — Sydney Snake Catcher Lalor Park is one of the older suburbs in the Blacktown LGA and one of the more reliably productive in terms of snake work. The combination that drives it is unusually clean to describe: Toongabbie Creek runs along the southern edge of the suburb, the housing […]

Kings Park

Snake Removal in Kings Park — Sydney Snake Catcher Kings Park is a smaller, less prominent suburb in the Blacktown LGA, sitting quietly between Marayong, Kings Langley, Quakers Hill and Seven Hills. It doesn’t have the volume of a Blacktown or a Quakers Hill, and it doesn’t have a defining piece of habitat like a […]

Kings Langley

Snake Removal in Kings Langley — Sydney Snake Catcher Kings Langley is one of those suburbs where the snake work has been steady for as long as we’ve been doing it. Established residential streets, 1980s and 1990s housing, mature gardens, backyard pools, sheds full of decades of accumulated gear, drainage corridors threading between blocks, and […]

Huntingwood

Snake Removal in Huntingwood — Sydney Snake Catcher Huntingwood is, by area, almost entirely industrial. There is no residential population to speak of — the suburb is one of the largest concentrated distribution and logistics estates in Western Sydney, sitting between Eastern Creek, Arndell Park, Prospect and the M4 motorway corridor. Major distribution centres, transport […]

Hassall Grove

Snake Removal in Hassall Grove — Sydney Snake Catcher Hassall Grove is a quiet, established residential suburb in the broader Mount Druitt area, and the snake work we attend here reflects exactly that. No major industrial precinct, no growth-corridor construction, no nature reserve sitting on the boundary — just an older suburb of standard suburban […]

Grantham Farm

Snake Removal in Grantham Farm — Sydney Snake Catcher Grantham Farm is at the leading edge of the Blacktown LGA growth corridor — one of the newer suburbs in the Riverstone / Marsden Park development zone, with construction still active across substantial parts of the area. The pattern that produces is consistent across growth-corridor suburbs […]

Glenwood

Snake Removal in Glenwood — Sydney Snake Catcher Glenwood is one of those suburbs where the snake population is sustained by the design of the suburb itself. The streets are built around a network of parks, reserves, drainage corridors and the Bells Creek tributary system — Glenwood Reserve, Forman Avenue Reserve, the corridors connecting to […]

Glendenning

Snake Removal in Glendenning — Sydney Snake Catcher Glendenning is one of those Blacktown LGA suburbs where the land use does the explaining. Half residential, half industrial — modern brick-and-tile homes on one side of the suburb, warehouses and logistics facilities on the other, separated by the Glendenning industrial estate along the eastern edge. Bells […]

Eastern Creek

Snake Removal in Eastern Creek — Sydney Snake Catcher Eastern Creek is a suburb where the snake population is sustained by infrastructure rather than houses. The residential footprint is small. The industrial footprint is enormous. Warehouses, logistics facilities, motorsport precincts, the M4 and M7 motorway corridors, Sydney Motorsport Park, food production sites and the kind […]

Doonside

Snake Removal in Doonside — Sydney Snake Catcher Doonside is one of those suburbs where the snake population is the direct result of where the boundaries fall. Nurragingy Reserve runs along the southern edge of the suburb. Bungarribee Park and the wider Western Sydney Parklands sit immediately to the east. Eastern Creek threads through the […]

Colebee

Snake Removal in Colebee — Sydney Snake Catcher Colebee sits in our top ten most-visited suburbs, which surprises people. It’s small, relatively new, and doesn’t have anywhere near the residential footprint of suburbs like Blacktown or The Ponds. So why is it on the list? The answer is the golf course. Stonecutters Ridge Golf Course […]

Agnes Banks

In Agnes Banks, creeks, wetlands, and semi‑rural blocks create natural corridors for reptiles. When we are in attendance for snake calls in Agnes Banks, Red‑bellied Black Snakes are the most common species encountered in Agnes Banks. Recognisable by a glossy black back and red flanks, local adults typically reach up to about 1.2 m. They’re diurnal, […]

Blacktown

Snake Removal in Blacktown — Sydney Snake Catcher There were six days across the 2025/26 snake season where we dispatched catchers three times in one day to different Blacktown addresses. Six days, three callouts each, all in this one suburb, all in the current season. That kind of density doesn’t happen by accident — and […]

Arndell Park

Snake Removal in Arndell Park — Sydney Snake Catcher There is no residential population to speak of in Arndell Park. The suburb is almost entirely industrial — warehouses, distribution centres, logistics facilities, transport depots, manufacturing yards, machinery hire businesses, the kind of large-format operations that line the M4 and M7 corridors through this part of […]

Acacia Gardens

Snake Removal in Acacia Gardens — Sydney Snake Catcher Acacia Gardens is one of the quieter suburbs in our Blacktown LGA work. It’s small, residential, and tucked between Quakers Hill and Stanhope Gardens — but it sits inside the same drainage and reserve corridor that drives high snake volume in both of those neighbours. That […]

Why Employees Should Never Attempt Snake Removal at Work

28 November 2025

When a snake appears in a workplace—be it an office, warehouse, school, factory, or construction site—employees and employers alike often assume someone “knows a bit about snakes” can handle it. That assumption is dangerously flawed. Sydney Snake Catcher strongly urges that no untrained person ever attempt snake removal. The risks to health, liability, and life are simply […]

A Comprehensive Guide to Dogs and Snakes in Sydney

28 November 2025

Living in Sydney means sharing the landscape with Australia’s native reptiles. Among them, snakes are the ones that prompt the most concern. Understanding snake behaviour, risks, and how to respond can help protect people, pets, and wildlife. At Sydney Snake Catcher, we believe education is one of the best tools in keeping everyone safe. This […]

How to Make Your Backyard Less Attractive to Snakes

16 November 2025

Snakes are a natural part of the Australian environment, but that doesn’t mean you want them turning up in your backyard. Most snakes are shy and avoid humans — however, they’re always on the lookout for food, shelter, and water. If your garden provides any of these, it can quickly become an inviting home for […]

Snake Bite First Aid

16 November 2025

If you, or someone you know has been bitten by a snake, it is important to follow these steps. DO NOT wash the bite area! Do not attempt to cut or suck the venom out of the bite area. The hospital staff will swab the bite area to determine what type of anti-venom is required. […]
