Gordon: Urban Reptile & Snake Removal Gordon

Call Now 0418 633 474

If you see a snake anywhere in Gordon, call Urban Reptile Removal immediately on 0418 633 474. Snakes are a routine part of life on the Upper North Shore, especially in leafy suburbs like Gordon where large gardens, warm stonework, dense planting, and wildlife corridors create ideal habitat. Whether the snake is in your garage, garden, driveway, pool area, under your deck, near your pet’s water bowl, or inside your home, the safest action is always the same: stand back and call a professional.

Urban Reptile Removal is recognised as the number one Sydney snake catcher, with more callouts, more experience, and more successful relocations than any other service. We attend snake jobs across Gordon and the entire Ku-ring-gai district throughout spring, summer, and autumn — and even on warm winter days — because snakes use this suburb heavily as they move between food, water, warmth, and shelter.

When you see a snake, the worst thing you can do is panic or try to deal with it yourself. Snakes react defensively when threatened, and any attempt to corner, chase, or kill a snake dramatically increases risk. Call 0418 633 474 and let us handle it professionally.

Why Snake Encounters Are So Common in Gordon

Gordon properties offer everything snakes are looking for:

• Shade
• Water
• Warm surfaces
• Shelter
• Food (especially rodents)
• Thick vegetation
• Gaps under houses
• Mulch and compost
• Sunny driveways
• Dense garden edges

These conditions are perfect for reptiles, and because Gordon sits between major wildlife corridors, snakes move through the suburb quietly and efficiently. Homeowners often don’t realise they have wildlife passing through until a snake becomes visible — basking near a step, crossing a driveway, sitting in a garden bed, or appearing unexpectedly inside a garage.

Snake sightings increase dramatically during:

• Warm mornings
• Late afternoons
• After spring rain
• After summer storms
• Warm winter days
• Periods of rodent activity

Snakes do not appear at random — they are reacting to temperature, prey movement, and natural cycles.

What To Do If You See a Snake in Gordon

Your response determines your safety:

• Stop where you are
• Step back slowly
• Move pets inside
• Keep children away
• Do not approach the snake
• Do not attempt to pick it up
• Do not try to block its path
• Do not throw water or objects at it
• Do not try DIY removal
• Keep eyes on it from a safe distance
• Call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474

This keeps you safe, keeps the snake calm, and ensures a smooth, efficient removal.

Snakes Most Commonly Found in Gordon

Urban Reptile Removal deals with every snake species found on the North Shore. Some are venomous, some harmless, and some simply intimidating due to size — but all require professional handling.

Here are the five species Gordon residents encounter most frequently:

Red-Bellied Black Snake

A striking snake with glossy black scales and a bright red underside. This species prefers moisture, shade, and cool garden areas.

Key behaviour:
• Venomous
• Usually shy, but will defend itself if cornered
• Frequently found near drains, shaded pathways, damp soil, and frog habitat
• Common in suburbs with deep gardens like Gordon

If you encounter a red-bellied black snake, remain calm and call Urban Reptile Removal.

Eastern Brown Snake

One of the most venomous snakes in the world — fast, alert, and highly defensive if threatened.

Important notes:
• Extremely dangerous
• Moves quickly
• Often found where rodent activity is present
• Hides in narrow warm gaps: under edging, behind tools, beneath houses
• Frequently misidentified by residents

If you suspect an Eastern Brown Snake, back away immediately and contact Urban Reptile Removal without delay.

Golden Crown Snake

A small, secretive snake with a pale golden band across the head. Usually discovered during gardening.

More information:
• Not dangerous
• Found in leaf litter, mulch, compost and soft soil
• Often mistaken for a baby brown snake
• May bite if handled, but not medically significant

If you’re unsure which species it is, leave it alone and call us.

Green Tree Snake

A harmless, brightly coloured snake common throughout leafy suburbs like Gordon.

Characteristics:
• Non-venomous
• Very fast-moving
• Excellent climber
• Often crosses fences, pergolas, rooflines, and garden structures
• Sometimes enters homes through open windows or doors

If a green tree snake ends up indoors, Urban Reptile Removal can safely relocate it.

Diamond Python

A large, gentle, non-venomous python, patterned in black and yellow diamond shapes. Highly effective natural rodent control.

Behaviour:
• Often rests on warm roofs, rock walls, and fences
• May enter roof cavities
• Moves slowly and silently
• Frequently surprises residents due to size

If a python is somewhere unsafe or inconvenient, we can relocate it calmly and humanely.

What Attracts Snakes to Gordon Homes?

Instead of focusing on street-by-street geography, the real reason snakes enter Gordon properties comes down to four factors:

1. Food

Rodents are the biggest attractant. If you have mice in your roof, shed, or deck cavity, snakes will follow.

2. Water

Snakes are drawn to:

• Bird baths
• Dripping taps
• Irrigation overspray
• Wet shaded gardens
• Pet bowls
• Ponds and water features
• Damp soil and compost

3. Warmth

Snakes regulate body temperature using warm surfaces such as:

• Pavers
• Driveways
• Sandstone walls
• Timber steps
• Roofing
• Garden edges

4. Shelter

Snakes hide in:

• Under-house spaces
• Retaining walls
• Timber piles
• Pool equipment boxes
• Sheds
• Rock crevices
• Deck cavities

Any location that is cool, quiet, and undisturbed becomes a natural shelter.

These conditions exist in almost every Gordon property — which is why snake sightings are so common.

Seasonal Snake Activity in Gordon

Snake movement follows predictable seasonal patterns:

Spring:
• Snakes emerge to feed
• Mating season begins
• Sightings rise sharply

Summer:
• Peak snake season
• Most driveway, garden and garage encounters occur now
• Snakes move between hot and cool areas to regulate temperature

Autumn:
• Still active, especially during warm spells
• Snakes feed heavily ahead of cooler weather

Winter:
• Reduced activity
• Diamond pythons and green tree snakes may still be seen on warm days

Understanding these patterns helps homeowners know what to expect throughout the year.
