Killara is one of Sydney’s leafiest suburbs, with large gardens, mature trees, natural shade, and pockets of wildlife that make snake encounters common throughout the warmer months.

When a snake turns up in Killara, most residents are caught off-guard. Snakes move quietly, stay low, and appear suddenly when basking, hunting or crossing yards. If you encounter one, keep your distance, stay calm, and call 0418 633 474 for immediate help.

Why Killara Has So Many Snakes

Snake activity in Killara is not random. It’s the natural result of:

• Large, established gardens
• Dense tree cover
• Shaded, moisture-rich soil
• Warm sandstone and brick surfaces
• Old houses with gaps underneath
• Garden mulch and compost
• Native wildlife corridors
• Abundant rodent and lizard populations

Snakes enter yards for one of a few simple reasons:

1. Food

Rodents, frogs, skinks and birds attract snakes.

2. Shelter

Snakes use cool, dark, protected spaces such as:

• Under houses
• Between retaining walls
• Under decks
• Beneath garden clutter
• Inside sheds
• Behind hot water units

3. Water

Ponds, bird baths, irrigation overspray and damp gardens draw wildlife — and snakes follow.

4. Heat regulation

Driveways, paths, pool paving, steps, fences and sandstone absorb warmth and attract basking snakes.

Killara’s greenery and long blocks offer everything a snake needs to move comfortably through the suburb.

If You See a Snake — Act Quickly

Snake encounters in Killara almost always happen by surprise, and the correct response is simple:

• Stop where you are
• Back away slowly
• Bring pets indoors immediately
• Keep children away
• Do not try to move the snake
• Do not throw water or objects
• Do not attempt to trap or kill it
• Maintain visual contact from a safe distance
• Call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474

Snakes are defensive, not aggressive — but they can react suddenly if they feel cornered.

Snakes Commonly Seen in Killara

Killara has all of Sydney’s major snake species. Some are venomous, some are harmless, some are large, and some are fast — but all should be handled by a trained professional.

Here are the five species we relocate most often:

Red-Bellied Black Snake

A glossy black snake with a vivid red underside. Very common across the North Shore, especially in shaded, damp and frog-rich gardens.

Key details:
• Venomous
• Prefers moisture and cool shade
• Often found along fence lines, drains, ponds and garden beds
• Usually retreats if left alone, but never safe to approach

If you see one, call us immediately.

Eastern Brown Snake

One of the world’s most venomous snakes. Fast, alert and highly defensive when threatened. Drawn strongly to rodents.

Important notes:
• Extremely dangerous
• Colour varies from pale tan to dark brown
• Often hides under garden edging and warm narrow gaps
• Appears when rodent numbers spike

If you think you’ve seen a brown snake, step away and call right away.

Golden Crown Snake

A small brownish snake with a pale golden band on the head. Often seen when gardening.

About the species:
• Not dangerous
• Found in mulch, compost, leaf litter and pot plants
• Often mistaken for baby brown snakes
• Will bite if handled

If unsure, treat all small snakes as venomous until confirmed by us.

Green Tree Snake

Fast, slender, harmless and brightly coloured (green, bluish or yellow-tinged). Killara’s leafy canopy makes it a favourite species in this area.

Behaviour:
• Non-venomous
• Climbs well
• Enters houses through open windows
• Often found on roofs, fences and pergolas

If one gets inside, we can remove it safely.

Diamond Python

A calm, slow-moving, non-venomous python with striking yellow-and-black patterns. Excellent natural rodent control.

Key behaviour:
• Frequently seen on roofs, fences and garden walls
• Uses warmth from brickwork and sandstone
• Often enters roof cavities
• Moves quietly at night following mice

Harmless but intimidating — we relocate pythons safely when requested.

Why Snakes Enter Killara Properties

Instead of focusing on streets or landmarks, the real drivers of snake presence are physical conditions:

Shelter

Snakes seek protected, quiet, cool locations such as:
• Under-house cavities
• Decks
• Garden piles
• Pool pump boxes
• Sheds
• Retaining walls

Food

Any sign of rodents, frogs or lizards brings snakes in.

Warmth

Snakes bask on driveways, steps, brick walls, and pavers.

Moisture

Damp soil, irrigation, ponds and water runoff attract wildlife.

Snakes do not enter properties to interact with people. They’re simply following scent, heat, instinct and food.

Seasonal Pattern of Snake Sightings

Killara experiences higher snake movement in:

Spring: snakes feed, mate and disperse
Summer: peak activity across all species
Autumn: snakes feed heavily before cooling temperatures
Winter: fewer sightings, but pythons still appear on warm days

Understanding seasonal behaviour helps residents stay aware during high-movement months.
