Snake Catcher Chatswood — Sydney Snake Catcher 1300 599 938

If there is a snake on your property in Chatswood, call Sydney Snake Catcher on 1300 599 938. We have catchers based nearby and are typically on site within 30 minutes. We operate 24 hours a day across Chatswood and the wider Willoughby LGA.

While you wait, move pets and children clear of the area and keep a safe distance. Do not attempt to handle or trap the snake yourself. The single most useful thing you can do before we arrive is keep your eyes on the snake from a safe distance. A snake watched continuously is straightforward to locate and remove. If it moves, watch where it goes and keep watching from a safe distance.

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.

Chatswood is a high-density suburb with a mix of residential streets, commercial areas and bushland connections along the Lane Cove River corridor to the east. Red-bellied black snakes are the most commonly encountered species, particularly around the creek and drainage lines feeding into Lane Cove River. Eastern brown snakes are present, especially on the bushland edges and in properties adjoining reserves. Diamond pythons turn up in roof cavities and mature gardens across the older residential streets. Blue-tongue lizards and water dragons are regularly encountered throughout the suburb

Sydney Snake Catcher also services surrounding suburbs including Artarmon, Willoughby, Lane Cove, St Leonards and Roseville.
