Why Snakes Are Found in Greystanes
Greystanes is a large, leafy and well established suburb with many natural features that support wildlife. These include:
Spacious blocks with deep gardens
Mature trees and dense shrubs
Bushland edges and reserves
Walking tracks and cycleways
Drainage lines and canals
Warm stone paths, retaining walls and driveways
Snakes move through Greystanes naturally. They have lived in the area long before houses, roads and shops were built. Today, they continue to use the landscape because it provides food, shelter and warmth.
Snakes do not want to be near people. When they appear in a yard or near a building, they are usually passing through or following food sources such as frogs, skinks or rodents.
If you see a snake, step back slowly and call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474.
Gardens, Parks and Natural Corridors
Many homes in Greystanes sit on generous blocks with:
Lawns and garden beds
Vegetable gardens and compost areas
Retaining walls and rock edges
Hedges, shrubs and ground cover
Cool shaded soil
These features attract insects, snails, skinks, birds and frogs. These animals are natural food sources for snakes.
Large green spaces such as Hyland Road Reserve, Darling Street Park, and the cycleways linking Greystanes to Prospect Reservoir provide quiet movement corridors for wildlife. The canal and its shaded edges also hold moisture and cooler ground, which reptiles prefer during warm weather.
Even newer developments include landscaped gardens, mulch beds and sheltered corners that reptiles use for cover.
Common Reptiles Found in Greystanes
Below is a clear explanation of the reptiles most commonly relocated by Urban Reptile Removal in Greystanes.
Red-Bellied Black Snakes
Red-bellied black snakes are sometimes found in Greystanes, particularly near:
Drainage corridors
Cycle paths and reserves
Shaded gardens
Bushland edges
Moist soil areas
These snakes follow frogs, which are active after rain and during warm months.
Red-bellied black snakes are venomous, but they are shy and cautious. They do not chase people and will usually move away when they sense vibration or footsteps. Problems occur mainly when people try to interfere with them.
If you see a red-bellied black snake near a garden bed, reserve, shaded corner or walking track, keep your distance and call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474.
They rarely stay in one place unless frogs are consistently present.
Eastern Brown Snakes
Eastern brown snakes are commonly seen in Greystanes. They are attracted to:
Warm open ground
Sunny paths and driveways
Older gardens
Long grass in reserves
Rodent activity
Eastern brown snakes are fast, alert and highly mobile. They travel along fence lines, retaining walls, sheds and open areas. They often follow rodents, which can bring them close to garages, compost areas, stored materials or bird feeding spots.
Eastern brown snakes avoid people but will defend themselves if surprised or cornered. If you see a brown snake in Greystanes, do not approach it.
Call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474 for immediate assistance.
Blue-Tongue Lizards
Blue-tongue lizards are extremely common in Greystanes and are completely harmless.
They prefer older gardens with:
Mulch and leaf litter
Shrubs and hedges
Soft soil
Warm edges near paths
Blue-tongues help control snails and insects and are one of the most beneficial reptiles to have in a yard.
People often see them resting on driveways, moving through gardens or hiding under shrubs. Because of their size and sudden movement, they are sometimes mistaken for snakes.
If a blue-tongue lizard enters a home, shop, shed or garage, call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474 for safe relocation.
Green Tree Snakes
Green tree snakes are non-venomous and harmless. They are slender, fast and excellent climbers.
They are often found in:
Shrubs and dense vegetation
Garden fences
Small trees
Balconies and roof edges
Green tree snakes feed on skinks and frogs, both of which are common in Greystanes. Their speed can be surprising, but they do not pose a risk to people.
If a green tree snake becomes trapped inside a building or garage, call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474 for quick removal.
Why Snake Sightings Increase
Snake activity in Greystanes 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 Greystanes:
Stop and stay calm
Keep several metres away
Keep children and pets inside
Do not touch or chase the snake
Call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474

Preventing Repeat Visits
If snakes appear regularly in the same area, we can help identify the reason. Common factors include:
Moist soil or leaking taps
Dense vegetation
Stored items or clutter
Rodent activity
Warm stone or concrete
Once identified, small changes can greatly reduce future visits. We explain this clearly during our visit.
