If you’ve found a snake on your property anywhere on the Northern Beaches, call 1300 599 938. Sydney Snake Catcher covers the Northern Beaches year-round, seven days a week.
Don’t try to handle it. Don’t try to kill it. Stay back, keep eyes on the snake from a safe distance, and call. Most bites happen when people try to deal with the snake themselves.
The Northern Beaches sits between Pittwater, the Pacific Ocean and the bushland of Garigal and Ku-ring-gai Chase National Parks. The character ranges across the urban coastal strip from Manly and Dee Why to Narrabeen and Collaroy, through the established bushland-backed suburbs of Frenchs Forest, Belrose, Davidson and Forestville, to the genuine bushland-edge and acreage country at Terrey Hills, Ingleside, Bayview, Church Point and the Pittwater foreshore. The high-volume snake call area is the bushland edge — properties backing onto Garigal National Park or the Ku-ring-gai Chase corridor, the Narrabeen Lagoon catchment, and the older established homes through Frenchs Forest, Belrose and Terrey Hills.
The dominant species across the Northern Beaches is the diamond python. The Garigal and Ku-ring-gai Chase connections, the mature roof spaces of the older established homes, and the bushland-edge weekenders and acreage properties all sustain a substantial resident python population. Roof cavity callouts run year-round, particularly through autumn and winter. Red-bellied black snakes work the damp gullies and creek lines, the Narrabeen Lagoon catchment, and properties with pools, ponds or thick shaded garden beds. You’ll also see green tree snakes, golden-crowned snakes, lace monitors (a feature of the bushland-edge suburbs), blue-tongues and water dragons. Eastern brown snakes are not a feature of the Northern Beaches — the coastal bushland and harbour character doesn’t suit them.
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.

The Northern Beaches’ warm coastal climate, bushland reserves and freshwater lagoons create ideal conditions for native snake species, particularly during spring and summer when activity increases. Residential properties can unintentionally attract snakes by offering shelter and food sources such as rodents, frogs and small reptiles. Staying alert and acting quickly when a snake is sighted helps reduce risk and ensures snakes are safely relocated.
The Northern Beaches is bordered by large areas of national park, coastal bushland and lagoon systems that support a wide range of native wildlife. Snakes commonly move through these environments along creek lines, bush corridors and dune vegetation while travelling between feeding and shelter areas, occasionally passing through nearby residential properties.
Gardens with dense planting, rock features, timber stacks and shaded outdoor spaces can provide attractive shelter, particularly during warmer weather or after rainfall. Homes located close to bushland, lagoons or coastal reserves may experience occasional snake activity during peak seasons. Understanding how snakes use the local landscape helps residents recognise why sightings occur and encourages calm, informed responses when snakes are encountered.
