Call Sydney Snake Catcher on 1300 599 938
If you've found a snake in your Beaumont Hills garden, on a path, near the driveway or anywhere else on the property, call 1300 599 938. We're usually on site within around thirty minutes depending on traffic and access, and we operate twenty-four hours across Beaumont Hills and the wider Hills Shire. When a snake appears unexpectedly, the right move is straightforward. Step back, give it room, call us, and let us handle it.
Beaumont Hills is one of our reliably active Hills Shire suburbs and a regular feature in our top-volume callout list. The geography is the driver. Caddies Creek runs along the southern side, the connecting drainage threads through to Rouse Hill, Kellyville and The Ponds, and the suburb itself sits across what was Cumberland Plain woodland and grazing country until estate development took off in the late 1990s. The pool density across the established estate streets is exceptionally high, and the combination of pool density, creek exposure and the connecting drainage produces a heavy Red-bellied Black Snake profile across the suburb.
The housing stock matters too. Beaumont Hills is dominated by late-1990s and 2000s estate housing on substantial blocks, with deep landscaping, mature gardens, sandstone retaining walls and very high pool density. The suburb has settled in for two decades now and the gardens have matured into the kind of habitat that sustains frog populations. Pool pump housings are a standout job category here, as they are in Bella Vista.
Snakes aren't appearing in Beaumont Hills because something is wrong with a property. They're appearing because the suburb is built across landscape that was farmland and woodland until recently, and the pool density combined with creek and drainage exposure sustains a continuous frog population that draws Red-bellies through.
Red-bellied Black Snake. The species we remove most often from Beaumont Hills, and the one that defines the suburb's catching profile. The combination of exceptional pool density, Caddies Creek and the connecting drainage sustains a strong year-round frog population, and Red-bellies follow frogs. Pool pump housings come up consistently as the standout job category. Sightings concentrate on the high-pool-density streets, around water features, garden ponds and on streets backing onto Caddies Creek. Venomous, but generally far less defensive than Browns. They will move away if given the chance.
Eastern Brown Snake. A substantial proportion of our Beaumont Hills work, particularly on the drier blocks, properties with chicken coops or accumulated yard storage, and the streets backing onto the open paddock and reserve country to the north. Browns work the boundary fences between the established suburb and the still-active growth corridor to the north. Highly venomous. Step back, keep a visual from a safe distance, and call us on 1300 599 938.
Diamond Python. Present in Beaumont Hills, particularly on streets backing onto the larger reserves and the older bushland-edge properties. Non-venomous, but large, adults reach two to three metres and they're powerfully built. The mature gardens and tiled-roof homes sustain a resident Python population, and roof cavities are a recurring job category. Pythons follow rodents into the roof and settle in.
Blue-tongued Lizard. Not a snake, but the reptile we are called for almost as often. Blue-tongues are large, slow-moving native skinks that get mistaken for snakes because of their size and the way they flatten their bodies when threatened. They are harmless, beneficial, and good for a garden, they eat snails, slugs and insects. Better to call and have us confirm than to assume.
Green Tree Snake. Common in established Beaumont Hills gardens, particularly along fences, in pergolas and around roof lines. Slender, bright green or olive, fast-moving, completely harmless. They feed on skinks, geckos and small frogs and are excellent climbers. Non-venomous, but a snake inside the house still warrants professional removal.
The species mix in Beaumont Hills makes more sense once you know what each one is following. Red-bellied Black Snakes follow frogs and moisture, which is why they concentrate around pool pump housings, water features, garden ponds and along Caddies Creek and the drainage. Eastern Browns follow rodents through the drier blocks and along the boundary lines facing the growth corridor to the north. Diamond Pythons follow rats and mice, which is why they end up in roof cavities. Green Tree Snakes follow skinks and geckos through gardens and along fence lines. Sightings increase after rain, through warm weather, and in early summer when reptiles are most active.
For Red-bellied Black Snakes: pool pump housings (the standout job category in this suburb), pool surrounds and water features, garden ponds, garden beds with thick mulch against boundary fences, under decks and verandahs in shaded damp corners, along fences backing onto Caddies Creek or the wetter drainage lines.
For Eastern Browns: garages, sheds with accumulated yard storage, around hot water systems, along long boundary fences (particularly the side facing the growth-corridor paddocks to the north), around chicken coops and outdoor pet bowls.
For Diamond Pythons: roof cavities are the standout, particularly on homes with tiled roofs and small gaps under the eaves. Also along gutters, in pergolas and on properties with bushland exposure.
For Green Tree Snakes: along fences, through pergolas, around roof lines, in mature shrubs and along garden edges.
Step back. Bring children and pets indoors. If possible, keep a visual on the snake from a safe distance. Don't try to move it, contain it, photograph it from up close or identify the species. Call 1300 599 938. We'll talk you through what to do until we arrive.
A snake near your pool pump housing in Beaumont Hills is most likely a Red-bellied Black Snake. The suburb's pool density combined with creek exposure makes pool pumps one of the most common job locations across our entire service area.
The deterrent products sold at hardware stores, powders, sprays, ultrasonic devices, do not work. Skip them.
For Red-bellied Black Snakes, keep pool pump housings clear and unappealing as shelter. Open them up, clear cover from around them, and don't let garden beds grow against them. Thin out heavy garden beds along boundary fences, particularly the side facing the creek or drainage corridor. Manage frog activity where it has become concentrated against the house, without killing the frogs, they're protected.
For Eastern Browns, reducing rodent activity is the most effective measure. Tidy sheds and outdoor storage. Seal gaps under structures. Keep grass short along boundary fences, particularly the side facing the growth-corridor paddocks.
For Diamond Pythons specifically, reducing rodent activity in the roof is the single most useful thing. Pythons follow rats. If a Python turns up in the ceiling, the rats got there first.

What snakes are most common in Beaumont Hills?
Red-bellied Black Snakes are a substantial proportion of our work in Beaumont Hills, particularly around pool pump housings on the high-pool-density established estate streets. Eastern Browns are a substantial proportion of the work too, particularly along the boundary lines facing the growth corridor to the north. Diamond Pythons appear in roof cavities on streets with bushland exposure.
Should I try to remove the snake myself?
No. All native snakes in New South Wales are protected wildlife, and several species commonly encountered around Beaumont Hills are highly venomous. The vast majority of snakebite hospital admissions involve someone trying to catch, kill or move a snake themselves. Step back, keep a visual from a safe distance, and call 1300 599 938.
What should I do while I'm waiting for the snake catcher?
Step back, bring children and pets indoors, and keep a visual on the snake from a safe distance if you can. Don't try to contain it, photograph it from up close or identify the species. If it slips into cover, watch the spot where you last saw it. Snakes often reappear within minutes once the area goes quiet.
Are snakes protected in New South Wales?
Yes. All native snakes are protected under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. They must be handled and relocated by licensed catchers. Sydney Snake Catcher operates under licence MWL103807.
