Finding a snake can be unsettling, especially when it appears suddenly. The safest thing to do is to stop, remain calm, and keep your distance. Do not try to catch the snake, do not block its movement, and do not attempt to chase it away. Most snake bites occur when people try to deal with a situation themselves. A licensed professional is the safest option for both people and wildlife.
Ermington is one of the most naturally active suburbs along the Parramatta River. The long strip of foreshore parkland, deep residential gardens, older homes, newer developments, wetlands and shaded corridors create an ideal environment for wildlife. Snakes move through Ermington quietly and predictably because the landscape supports them. They are not appearing because something is wrong with a property. They are simply following the natural features that have existed for generations.
Residents of Ermington know that the suburb changes character from one end to the other. The older sections have deep front yards, large trees, long driveways, sandstone edging and gardens that have been growing for decades. The newer areas closer to the river include landscaped apartment complexes, shared walkways, foreshore reserves and parkland that hold moisture year round. The Parramatta River is one of the strongest wildlife corridors in Sydney and supports constant animal movement.
Water dragons rest on rock shelves along the river. Skinks race across warm footpaths and garden edges. Blue tongue lizards shelter beneath shrubs and mulch beds. Frogs call from shaded wetlands and drainage lines after rain. Birds move between the tall trees morning and evening. Snakes follow these same natural routes quietly, staying close to cover and avoiding people whenever possible.
Urban Reptile Removal attends Ermington regularly and understands how snakes move through this environment. When a snake appears near a home, path or driveway, it is not aggressive and it is not searching for people. It is moving through an area that naturally supports wildlife.
Diamond pythons are occasionally encountered in Ermington, particularly in properties closer to the river and in older parts of the suburb where gardens provide dense shelter. Diamond pythons are non venomous, calm and completely harmless. They move slowly and rely on camouflage rather than speed. Their patterned scales blend perfectly with leaf litter, bark, mulch, timber fencing and stonework found throughout the suburb.
Residents may notice a diamond python stretched along a warm retaining wall, curled behind a hedge, resting quietly in a garden bed or draped across a fence. Because they rely heavily on remaining still, they can seem bold when discovered. In reality, they believe they are hidden and are trying to avoid attention.
Diamond pythons occasionally enter roof spaces, particularly in older homes with tiled roofs or small gaps near the eaves. Roof cavities provide warmth, safety and quiet shelter. If you hear gentle movement above the ceiling or see a python resting along guttering or roof edges, call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474 for safe and professional removal.
Diamond pythons also help reduce rodent numbers naturally, which can be beneficial in suburbs with older gardens and river connections.
Red bellied black snakes are frequently encountered in Ermington because the suburb sits directly along the Parramatta River and includes wetlands, drainage channels, shaded gullies and low lying ground that holds moisture. These snakes follow frogs, water and cool soil. Even in busy areas, they move quietly and avoid people.
Although red bellied black snakes are venomous, they are shy and quick to retreat. They move away as soon as they sense vibration or movement. Most snake bite incidents occur only when people attempt to catch, corner or interfere with a snake. If you see a red bellied black snake near your garden, beside the riverbank, near shaded rock or crossing your yard, keep back and call Urban Reptile Removal immediately on 0418 633 474.
In most cases, red bellied black snakes continue moving through the suburb and do not remain in one place unless frogs and moisture are consistently present.
Golden crown snakes are extremely common throughout Ermington, although most residents never see them. These snakes are small, gentle and mostly active at night. During the day they hide beneath stones, pot plants, timber sleepers, bricks, leaf litter, mulch and shaded garden corners. Ermington’s older gardens and thick ground cover create ideal habitat for them.
Golden crown snakes are harmless and their bite is not medically significant. Most encounters occur when someone is gardening or moving something that has not been disturbed for months. When uncovered, these snakes slip away almost immediately and try to avoid contact.
Urban Reptile Removal relocates golden crown snakes only when they accidentally enter homes, garages, sheds or storage areas where they cannot escape on their own.
Green tree snakes are commonly seen throughout Ermington, especially near the river, foreshore parks, reserves and established gardens. They are slender, bright green and extremely fast. Their sudden movement can startle people, but they are completely harmless.
These snakes hunt skinks, geckos and frogs, all of which are abundant in Ermington due to the river, wetlands and mature gardens. Residents may see a green tree snake weaving through shrubs, climbing small trees, crossing warm pathways, sliding along fences or appearing suddenly before disappearing again. Their excellent climbing ability means they can also turn up on balconies, pergolas, roof edges and garden structures.
If a green tree snake enters your home or becomes trapped somewhere it cannot escape safely, call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474 for prompt assistance.
Snakes appear in Ermington because the suburb contains everything reptiles need to survive. The Parramatta River provides water and frogs. Older gardens provide shade, shelter and food for smaller animals. Brick, stone and concrete surfaces store warmth. Deep soil stays cool even during summer.

As a simple guide, diamond pythons tend to follow rats and mice. Red bellied black snakes follow frogs and moisture. Golden crown snakes follow small lizards. Green tree snakes follow skinks and geckos.
Snake sightings increase after rainfall, during warm weather and in early summer when reptiles become more active. Snakes are not appearing because something is wrong with your home. They appear because Ermington naturally supports wildlife movement.
