With extensive green corridors and natural reserves throughout the area, snakes may enter backyards, gardens, garages and sheds while searching for shelter or food.

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 Upper North Shore Reptile Species

The Upper North Shore’s leafy environment, bushland reserves and creek networks create 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. Remaining alert and responding quickly when a snake is sighted helps reduce risk and ensures snakes are safely relocated.

Upper North Shore Snake Catching & Snake Removal Services

The Upper North Shore is characterised by extensive bushland, national parks and established green corridors that support a wide range of native wildlife. Snakes commonly move through these environments along creek lines, bush tracks and vegetated corridors while travelling between feeding and shelter areas, occasionally passing through nearby residential properties.

Dense garden planting, rock walls, timber stacks and shaded outdoor areas can provide ideal shelter, particularly during warmer weather or after rainfall. Homes located close to bushland edges or waterways may see occasional snake activity during peak seasons. Understanding how snakes use the local environment helps residents recognise why sightings occur and encourages calm, informed responses when snakes are encountered.
