Sydney Snake Catcher provides fast, humane and fully licensed snake relocation for homes, businesses, workplaces and public spaces throughout the region. Our experienced handlers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, offering reliable emergency response whenever a snake is sighted.

Snakes are regularly encountered across the Hornsby Region — from residential suburbs such as Hornsby, Asquith, Mount Colah and Thornleigh, to bush-backed properties throughout Berowra, Galston and nearby semi-rural areas. With extensive national parks, bushland reserves and creek systems surrounding local neighbourhoods, snakes may enter backyards, sheds, garages, schools and even indoor spaces while searching for shelter or food.

Our team specialises in identifying and safely capturing both venomous and non-venomous snakes, including Eastern Brown Snakes, Red-bellied Black Snakes and Carpet Pythons. Every snake is relocated to suitable natural habitat, protecting your family, pets and the animal itself. No matter where you are located within the Hornsby Region, you can rely on a prompt response from a trained expert who understands local snake behaviour.

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.

Common Hornsby Region Reptile Species

The Hornsby Region’s combination of bushland, waterways and warmer seasonal conditions creates an ideal environment for snakes, particularly during spring and summer when activity increases. Residential properties can unintentionally attract snakes by providing shelter and food sources such as rodents, frogs and small reptiles. Staying alert and acting quickly when a snake is sighted helps prevent accidents and ensures snakes can be safely relocated.

Hornsby Region Snake Catching & Snake Removal Services

The Hornsby Region is bordered by large areas of national park and natural bushland, including valleys, ridgelines and creek systems that form important wildlife corridors. Snakes commonly move through these areas while travelling between feeding and shelter sites, and may occasionally pass through nearby residential properties as part of this natural movement.

Garden beds, rock walls, timber piles, sheds and areas of dense vegetation can all provide attractive shelter, particularly during warmer weather or after rain. Properties located near bushland edges or waterways are more likely to experience occasional snake activity. Understanding how snakes use the local environment helps residents recognise why sightings occur and reinforces the importance of maintaining clear outdoor spaces and remaining cautious during peak snake seasons.
