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 Hunter’s Hill Council Reptile Species

The Hunter’s Hill area’s warm climate, waterfront bushland and established green spaces provide suitable conditions for native snake species, particularly during the warmer months when activity increases. Residential properties can unintentionally attract snakes by offering shelter and food sources such as rodents, frogs and small reptiles. Awareness and quick action are key to reducing risk and ensuring snakes are safely relocated.

Hunter’s Hill Council Snake Catching & Snake Removal Services

Hunter’s Hill is surrounded by waterways, bushland reserves and foreshore parks that support a variety of native wildlife. Snakes often move through these environments while following creek lines, shoreline vegetation and bush corridors, occasionally passing through nearby residential properties as part of their natural movement.

Gardens with dense planting, rock walls, timber stacks and shaded areas can provide attractive shelter, particularly in warmer weather. Properties close to waterfront reserves or bushland edges may see occasional snake activity during peak seasons. Understanding the local habitat and how snakes use these natural spaces helps residents recognise why sightings occur and encourages calm, informed responses when snakes are encountered.
