Asquith: Urban Reptile & Snake Removal — Asquith — Call Now 0418 633 474

If you see a snake anywhere in Asquith, call Urban Reptile Removal immediately on 0418 633 474. Asquith sits on one of Sydney’s busiest wildlife movement corridors, with constant snake activity due to its mix of gardens, moisture, shaded pockets, sandstone features, rail-line vegetation, bushland edges and older homes with ideal hiding places. A snake can appear suddenly in almost any setting — on a driveway, inside a garage, in a garden bed, behind a shed, beneath a house, along a fence line or even inside a lounge room or bathroom.

Urban Reptile Removal is the number one Sydney snake catcher, trusted by more homeowners, tenants, real estate agencies and local councils than any other professional reptile removal service. Our team understands the micro-habitats throughout Asquith, the behaviour of local snake species, and the conditions that draw reptiles into close contact with homes. When a snake appears, we deliver fast, calm, professional and fully legal snake relocation.

If you spot a snake, the most dangerous thing you can do is try to handle it yourself. Snakes defend themselves when threatened, and even harmless species can strike when they feel cornered. The safest approach is simple: step back, clear the area, protect your pets and call 0418 633 474 for expert assistance.

Why Asquith Has High Snake Movement

Asquith is a perfect environment for snake activity because it provides exactly what snakes seek: warmth, moisture, food and shelter. Key attractants include:

• Dense native gardens
• Shaded, cool patches
• Moist soil from irrigation
• Sandstone retaining walls
• Timber heaps and shed corners
• Under-house voids and decks
• Leaf litter, mulch and compost
• Rail-line vegetation
• Strong lizard and rodent activity
• Drainage and stormwater channels

Snakes don’t care about suburb borders. They move based on scent trails, heat gradients, prey animals and protected travel routes. Asquith has all of these concentrated in small, predictable pockets.

Snake movement spikes during:

• Spring warm spells
• Hot summer mornings and late afternoons
• After rainfall
• Rodent pressure increases
• Autumn feeding bursts
• Unexpected winter heat
• Humid, stormy periods

Asquith residents often see snakes at moments when temperature, moisture and food sources converge.

What To Do Immediately If You See a Snake in Asquith

Your actions in the first few seconds determine safety. Follow these steps:

• Stop and take one slow step backwards
• Move pets indoors immediately
• Keep children away from the area
• Do not get closer to identify the snake
• Do not attempt to kill it
• Do not throw items or use water
• Do not trap it under bins or boxes
• Do not attempt to herd it away
• Maintain a safe distance
• Keep visual contact if possible
• Call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474

Snakes avoid conflict. They defend only when frightened or cornered. A calm, controlled response prevents escalation and allows us to resolve the situation quickly.

Common Snakes in Asquith

The following five species make up the majority of snake removals in Asquith. Urban Reptile Removal handles all species safely and professionally:

Red-Bellied Black Snake

A glossy black snake with a vivid red underside. One of the most recognisable snakes in Australia.

Behaviour:
• Venomous
• Prefers shaded, damp, cool areas
• Often found near drains, garden edges, wet lawn corners and pond zones
• Moves quietly through thick vegetation
• Generally shy but defensive when threatened

If you encounter a red-bellied black snake, keep your distance and call us immediately.

Eastern Brown Snake

One of the most venomous snakes in the world. Fast, alert and capable of rapid defensive reactions.

Characteristics:
• Extremely venomous
• Very fast-moving
• Attracted to rodent activity around homes, sheds and garages
• Often hides in narrow warm places: edging, steps, pavers, debris
• Frequently misidentified

Brown snake sightings require urgent professional assistance.

Golden Crown Snake

A small, slender species with a pale golden marking across the head. Commonly uncovered while gardening.

Details:
• Not dangerous
• Lives in leaf litter, mulch, compost and pot plants
• Often mistaken for a baby brown snake
• May bite if handled

Although harmless, Golden Crown Snakes should still be relocated by a trained professional.

Green Tree Snake

A harmless and fast-moving species common across the North Shore.

Behaviour:
• Non-venomous
• Excellent climber
• Frequently seen on fences, pergolas, shrubs, hedges and roof lines
• May slip indoors through open doors or windows
• Moves quickly when startled

If one gets inside your home, Urban Reptile Removal can remove it gently and safely.

Diamond Python

A large python with striking yellow-and-black diamond markings. Harmless but often intimidating due to its size.

Behaviour:
• Slow-moving
• Frequently seen basking on warm surfaces
• Often lives in roof cavities
• Moves silently at night while hunting rodents
• Calm by nature

If a python is somewhere unsuitable — such as on a veranda or in a roof cavity — we can relocate it safely.

What Attracts Snakes to Asquith Properties

Snakes enter Asquith homes, backyards and storage areas for predictable reasons:

1. Rodents — the number one attractant

If mice or rats are present, snakes will follow. This applies to houses, garages, sheds, units and commercial buildings.

2. Warmth — essential for temperature regulation

Snakes use heat-trapping surfaces such as:

• Driveways
• Pavers
• Concrete slabs
• Brick walls
• Timber decks
• Roof surfaces
• Sandstone blocks
• Stone steps

3. Water — especially during hot weather

Snakes seek moisture from:

• Bird baths
• Ponds
• Leaking taps
• Irrigation
• Pet bowls
• Damp soil
• Overflow trays

4. Shelter — quiet, protected hiding zones

These are found in:

• Under-house voids
• Deck cavities
• Retaining walls
• Garden debris
• Sheds
• Pool pump boxes
• Wood piles
• Leaf litter
• Rock crevices

Asquith contains all of these environments, which is why snake encounters are common.

Seasonal Snake Movement in Asquith

Spring
• Snakes emerge after winter

• Snakes move frequently between sun and shade
• Most garden and driveway sightings occur
