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

If you see a snake anywhere in Berowra, call Urban Reptile Removal immediately on 0418 633 474. Berowra is one of the most naturally reptile-active suburbs in the entire Greater Sydney region. Backing directly onto vast bushland, sandstone plateaus, deep gullies, wet creeks, vegetation corridors and sheltered garden pockets, the suburb is essentially part of a living reptile ecosystem. Snakes move through Berowra every day — most unseen — until that sudden moment when one appears on a driveway, beside a garage, under a deck, in a garden bed, on a warm rock wall, or even inside a home.

Urban Reptile Removal is recognised as the number one Sydney snake catcher, handling more reptile callouts across northern Sydney and the Hornsby Shire than any other service. We have decades of combined expertise dealing with the exact species found in Berowra and a deep understanding of the terrain, bushland edges, residential layouts and micro-habitats that bring snakes close to homes. When a snake appears, residents rely on us for fast, calm, professional and safe removal.

If you find a snake, do not try to capture, scare, herd or kill it. Snakes only defend themselves when they feel threatened, and close interaction is the leading cause of bites. The correct and safe response is always to step back, secure pets, give the snake space and call 0418 633 474 for immediate assistance.

Why Berowra Has Extreme Snake Activity

Berowra’s geography and vegetation create perfect conditions for snakes. The environment naturally includes:

• Bushland directly bordering homes
• Shaded gardens with cool, protected corners
• Moist gullies and water run-off
• Sandstone ledges, retaining walls and rock crevices
• Under-house voids and deck cavities
• Timber piles, sheds and storage gaps
• Leaf litter, mulch and thick ground cover
• Healthy frog, skink and bird populations
• Strong rodent activity
• Continuous wildlife corridors

Snakes follow prey, heat, shade and shelter — not suburb lines. In Berowra, these resources exist everywhere, from the bush behind houses to gardens, yards and even small courtyards.

Snake movement peaks during:

• Spring warm spells
• Hot summer mornings and evenings
• Humid, storm-driven periods
• Autumn feeding cycles
• After heavy rain
• Rodent population booms
• Warm winter afternoons

Residents often see snakes when entering a shed, walking to the clothesline, gardening, checking the pool pump or stepping outside after rain.

What To Do Immediately If You See a Snake in Berowra

The right behaviour keeps you safe. Follow these steps:

• Stop and step back calmly
• Move pets indoors at once
• Keep children away
• Do not approach the snake
• Do not attempt to kill or trap it
• Do not throw objects or spray water
• Do not try to block its path
• Maintain visual contact from several metres away
• Do not follow it into undergrowth or gaps
• Call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474

Snakes defend only when they feel threatened. Giving them space ensures a safe and efficient removal.

Snakes Commonly Found in Berowra

Urban Reptile Removal relocates all Sydney snake species encountered in Berowra. These are the five most common:

Red-Bellied Black Snake

A sleek black snake with a distinctive red underside — one of Australia’s best-known reptiles.

Behaviour:
• Venomous
• Favors cool, damp habitats
• Often found near drains, gullies, shaded gardens and wet soil
• Moves silently through vegetation
• Shy by nature but defensive when cornered

If you see one, maintain distance and call Urban Reptile Removal immediately.

Eastern Brown Snake

One of the most venomous snakes on the planet. Fast, alert and capable of rapid defensive behaviour.

Key traits:
• Extremely venomous
• Highly reactive when threatened
• Attracted strongly to rodent activity
• Hides in warm, narrow spaces: edging, steps, pavers, rock gaps, debris
• Frequently misidentified

Brown snake sightings require immediate professional intervention.

Golden Crown Snake

A small, slender species with a pale golden head marking.

Details:
• Not dangerous
• Lives in leaf litter, mulch, compost and pot plants
• Often confused with baby brown snakes
• May bite gently in defence if handled

Though harmless, professional relocation is recommended due to frequent misidentification.

Green Tree Snake

A harmless and fast-moving species common in well-vegetated areas like Berowra.

Behaviour:
• Non-venomous
• Excellent climber
• Seen on fences, walls, pergolas, shrubs, hedges and rooflines
• Occasionally enters homes through open windows
• Moves rapidly and startles easily

If one appears indoors, we can remove it calmly and safely.

Diamond Python

A large, slow-moving python with striking yellow-and-black diamond patterns.

Behaviour:
• Black and yellow patterned
• Harmless and non-venomous
• Regularly found basking on warm surfaces
• Often hides in roof cavities
• Follows rodent scent trails at night
• Startles residents due to size rather than behaviour

We relocate pythons safely and humanely when necessary.

Why Snakes Enter Berowra Homes

Snake incursions in Berowra are common due to several predictable environmental conditions:

1. Rodents — the main attractant

Where there are mice or rats, snakes will follow. Rodents in sheds, under houses or in roof cavities draw snakes close to homes.

2. Warmth

Snakes rely on external heat sources such as:

• Driveways
• Brick walls
• Pavers
• Sandstone formations
• Timber decking
• Roof sheeting
• Concrete slabs
• Stone steps

3. Water

Snakes seek moisture from:

• Bird baths
• Ponds
• Dripping taps
• Irrigation
• Damp soil
• Pool areas
• Overflow trays
• Water features

4. Shelter

Snakes rest in quiet protected spaces found throughout Berowra homes:

• Under-house voids
• Deck cavities
• Sheds
• Pool pump enclosures
• Timber stacks
• Rock crevices
• Leaf litter piles
• Garden debris
• Retaining walls

All these features are common across Berowra’s residential areas.

Seasonal Snake Movement in Berowra

Understanding seasonal behaviour helps residents stay alert:

Spring
• Snakes emerge
• Mating season starts
• Daytime movement increases

Summer
• Peak snake season
• Snakes move constantly between shade and sun
• Most garden, driveway and yard encounters occur

Autumn
• Heavy feeding before cooler weather
• Warm spells trigger sudden movement

Winter
• Reduced activity
• Pythons and tree snakes still appear during warm afternoons

Berowra’s bushland border means year-round sightings are common.
