Call Now 0418 633 474
If you see a snake anywhere in Pymble, call Urban Reptile Removal immediately on 0418 633 474. Snakes move across the Upper North Shore every day of the warm season, and Pymble is one of the most active suburbs due to its large gardens, cool shade, warm driveways, and heavy wildlife flow. When a snake appears in your yard, garage, roof cavity, pool area, or inside your home, the safest and fastest solution is to step back and make one phone call.
Urban Reptile Removal is widely recognised as the number one Sydney snake catcher, responding to more snake jobs and relocating more reptiles safely than any other service in the region. We know exactly how snakes behave, where they hide, why they appear, and how to remove them calmly and efficiently without putting you or the animal at risk.
Snakes in Pymble appear suddenly and silently. Most residents see a snake only when it is basking near a wall, crossing the lawn, coiled under outdoor furniture, or emerging from garden beds after rain. If you encounter one, do not try to intervene. Call 0418 633 474 and let an experienced professional handle it.
Why Snakes Are So Common in Pymble
Pymble has everything snakes need to thrive:
• Shady gardens
• Moist soil
• Dense vegetation
• Rock retaining walls
• Warm surfaces for basking
• Cool areas for hiding
• Gaps beneath houses
• Mulch, compost and garden debris
• Plenty of prey animals
Snakes do not “choose” suburbs — they choose suitable conditions. Pymble has an abundance of them. The area’s well-established gardens, warm sandstone, protected corners and reliable water sources create an environment where reptiles move frequently and safely.
Snake activity in Pymble typically increases when:
• Temperatures rise suddenly
• Rain boosts frog and lizard activity
• Rodent numbers increase
• The soil is damp
• Winter days turn warm
• The breeding season begins
Homeowners who never expected to see a snake often find themselves face to face with one simply because their yard offers the natural elements snakes instinctively seek.
What To Do If You See a Snake in Pymble
Your safety depends on how you respond in the first few seconds. The correct response is simple:
• Freeze briefly, then step back
• Move pets indoors immediately
• Keep children away
• Do not attempt to scare or chase the snake
• Do not try to “guide” it with a broom
• Do not throw anything at it
• Do not attempt DIY removal
• Do not take close-range photos
• Keep eyes on it from a safe distance
• Call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474
Snakes are defensive, not aggressive — but they will react if cornered or threatened. The safest approach for everyone is professional removal.
Snakes Commonly Seen in Pymble
Pymble has all the major snake species found in Sydney. Some are venomous, some harmless, some large and intimidating, and some small and easily misidentified. Urban Reptile Removal handles them all safely and legally.
Below are the five species we relocate most frequently in Pymble:
Red-Bellied Black Snake
A glossy black snake with a vibrant red or crimson underside. These snakes thrive in moist, shaded areas and are especially common in gardens with frogs, lizards and damp soil.
Key traits:
• Venomous
• Shy but defensive if threatened
• Often seen near drains, ponds, shaded lawns and garden edges
• Moves quietly and rests near cool, damp spots
Never approach one. Call Urban Reptile Removal if you see a red-bellied black snake.
Eastern Brown Snake
One of the most venomous snakes on the planet. Fast, alert and extremely defensive when threatened. Brown snakes are attracted strongly to rodents, making them more common in areas with mice.
Important notes:
• Highly venomous
• Moves quickly
• Often hides in narrow warm spaces
• Appears when rodents are active
• Sometimes misidentified as non-venomous snakes
If you suspect an Eastern Brown Snake is present, step back immediately and call Urban Reptile Removal. Time is critical with this species.
Golden Crown Snake
A small brownish snake with a pale golden head marking. Often discovered during gardening, especially when moving mulch or potted plants.
More information:
• Not dangerous
• Lives in compost, leaf litter, soil and mulch
• Frequently mistaken for baby brown snakes
• May bite if handled
If you’re unsure which species you’ve seen, do not take risks — call us to identify and relocate it properly.
Green Tree Snake
A harmless, fast-moving species commonly found across leafy suburbs like Pymble. Bright green or blue-green in colour, with a slender body and quick movement.
Behaviour:
• Completely non-venomous
• Climbs exceptionally well
• Often crosses fences, pergolas, roofs and garden structures
• Sometimes enters homes through open windows and doors
If one wanders into your home, we can remove it gently and safely.
Diamond Python
A large, slow-moving python with striking diamond patterns in yellow and black. These snakes are gentle, non-venomous and extremely efficient at controlling rodents.
Key behaviour:
• Frequently seen on roofs, fences, rock walls and warm surfaces
• Often hides in roof cavities
• Moves quietly at night following rodent scent trails
• Appears large and intimidating but is harmless
If a python is somewhere inconvenient or causing unease, Urban Reptile Removal will relocate it humanely.
What Attracts Snakes to Pymble Homes
There are four main attractants:
1. Rodents
Rodents are the biggest drawcard for snakes. If you have even a single mouse in your roof or shed, a python or brown snake will eventually find it.
2. Water
Snakes gravitate toward:
• Bird baths
• Dripping taps
• Overflow trays
• Irrigation overspray
• Ponds and water features
• Damp garden soil
• Pet water bowls
3. Warmth
Driveways, stepping stones, sandstone, brick walls, fences and timber surfaces store heat for hours.
4. Shelter
Snakes utilise:
• Under-house voids
• Deck cavities
• Retaining walls
• Firewood piles
• Compost heaps
• Sheds
• Pool equipment boxes
• Dense garden beds
Snakes aren’t attracted to suburbs — they’re attracted to micro-habitats, and Pymble offers them in abundance.
Seasonal Snake Behaviour in Pymble
Understanding snake behaviour by season helps residents know what to expect:
Spring
• Snakes emerge from winter hiding
• Mating season begins
• Sightings spike
• High movement in gardens and driveways
Summer
• Peak snake season
• Snakes move constantly between sun and shade
• Most encounters happen now
• High rodent activity increases sightings
Autumn
• Snakes feed heavily before temperatures fall
• Warm spells bring sudden bursts of activity
Winter

The pattern is predictable — but snakes still appear fast and unexpectedly.
