Why Snakes Are Common in Gladesville
Gladesville is one of Sydney’s most environmentally varied suburbs. It has a unique mix of:
Older homes with established gardens
Apartments and townhouses
Bushland pockets and sandstone slopes
Steep blocks and natural gullies
Rock walls and retaining walls
Close access to the Lane Cove River
These features create a natural wildlife corridor. Snakes have moved through Gladesville long before homes were built, and they continue to do so today because the environment provides shelter, food and warmth.
Snakes are not looking for people. When they appear near a home, they are usually passing through, following the land and the cover it provides.
If you see a snake, do not panic. Step back slowly and call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474.
Gardens, Bush Pockets and River Corridors
Many Gladesville homes have deep, well-established gardens with large trees, shrubs, pot plants, mulch beds and shaded soil. These gardens attract insects, skinks, frogs and small mammals.
Sandstone ridges and rock walls absorb heat during the day and release it slowly, creating warm resting spots for reptiles. Shaded gullies and drainage lines provide cool, damp areas, especially after rain.
The Lane Cove River is a major wildlife corridor. Animals move along the river edges, through creeks and up into surrounding streets and gardens. This natural movement brings reptiles into Gladesville regularly, often without anyone noticing.
Common Snakes Found in Gladesville
Below is a clear explanation of the snake species most commonly relocated by Urban Reptile Removal in Gladesville.
Diamond Pythons
Diamond pythons are one of the most commonly seen snakes in Gladesville. They are non-venomous, calm and harmless.
They are very well camouflaged and often blend into:
Sandstone walls
Timber edges and sleepers
Dense shrubs
Leaf litter
Sunny pathways
Because of their camouflage, people often do not see them until they are close.
In older parts of Gladesville, diamond pythons sometimes enter roof spaces. Tiled roofs, gaps under eaves and open rooflines allow access. Roof cavities provide warmth and safety, making them attractive resting places.
If you hear movement in your roof or see a python along guttering, fence lines or walls, call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474. We remove them safely and humanely.
Diamond pythons also help control rodents, which is useful in leafy suburbs like Gladesville.
Red-Bellied Black Snakes
Red-bellied black snakes are regularly found in Gladesville, particularly near:
The Lane Cove River
Creek lines and drainage corridors
Shaded gardens
Damp soil areas
These snakes follow frogs and moisture. Even though Gladesville is highly developed, its connection to the river keeps wildlife activity strong.
Red-bellied black snakes are venomous, but they are shy and cautious. They move away quickly when they sense footsteps or vibration. They only act defensively if cornered or interfered with.
If you see a red-bellied black snake near a garden bed, shaded path, creek or river edge, keep your distance and call 0418 633 474 for immediate assistance.
They usually continue moving unless they find a reliable food source or cool shelter.
Golden Crown Snakes
Golden crown snakes are very common in Gladesville, but they are rarely seen.
They are small, shy and mostly active at night. They live under:
Rocks
Leaf litter
Pot plants
Garden edging
Old timber
Older gardens with deep soil make Gladesville an ideal habitat for this species.
Golden crown snakes are harmless. Their bite is not medically significant. Most people only encounter them while gardening or moving items that have not been disturbed for a long time.
We usually relocate them only if they enter a home or enclosed space.
Green Tree Snakes
Green tree snakes are extremely common in Gladesville. They are non-venomous, harmless and very fast.
They are often seen:
Moving through hedges
Along fences and pergolas
Across garden paths
Climbing trees and shrubs
On balconies, roofs and sheds
They feed on skinks, geckos and frogs, all of which are plentiful in Gladesville.
Their speed can be surprising, which causes alarm, but they do not pose a danger. If a green tree snake becomes trapped inside a home or building, call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474 for quick removal.
Why Snake Sightings Increase
Snake activity in Gladesville increases during:
Warm weather
Spring and summer
After rainfall
Early mornings and late afternoons
Snakes are cold-blooded animals. They move more when temperatures rise and when food is active.
Snakes are not appearing because something is wrong with your property. They are simply moving through their natural environment.
What to Do If You See a Snake
If you see a snake in Gladesville:
Stop and stay calm
Keep several metres away
Bring pets and children inside
Do not touch, chase or block the snake
Call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474
Professional removal is always the safest option.
Preventing Repeat Snake Visits
If snakes appear repeatedly in the same area, we can inspect your property and identify why. Common reasons include:
Moist or shaded soil
Thick vegetation
Stored materials
Rodent activity
Warm rock or stone surfaces
Once identified, small changes can greatly reduce future visits. We explain this clearly and simply during our visit.
