Asquith is a leafy northern suburb that sits between Hornsby, Mount Colah, and Ku Ring Gai Chase National Park. With its tall gum trees, established gardens, older homes, renovated properties, quiet streets, shaded yards, and strong links to surrounding bushland, the suburb regularly experiences snake movement during warm weather. Residents often report snakes crossing driveways, moving along fence lines, slipping under sheds, hiding near garden beds, or basking in sunny patches of the yard. Because Asquith is surrounded by national parkland, large reserves, and natural corridors, snakes pass through the suburb often, especially in spring and summer. Urban Reptile Removal responds to many snake removal callouts in Asquith every year.

Asquith offers ideal conditions for snakes. The suburb contains many sloping blocks, bush trails, creeks, garden beds, rock walls, and shaded corners where reptiles find warmth, safety, and food. The most commonly encountered species in Asquith are the golden crowned snake, red bellied black snake, diamond python, green tree snake, and blue tongued lizard. Each species has different habits and appears in different types of yards depending on shelter, moisture, prey animals, and temperature.

The golden crowned snake is one of the smaller reptile species seen in Asquith. This nocturnal snake has a pale yellow marking across its head and nape and a pink or reddish belly. Although venomous, its bite normally causes only local symptoms. Golden crowned snakes prefer damp, shaded areas such as garden beds, rockeries, leaf litter, and raised surfaces. Because Asquith is surrounded by cool bushland, these snakes are often found after rain or during humid evenings. Due to their size, many residents mistake them for baby brown snakes. A trained snake catcher can identify and safely remove them.

The red bellied black snake is another species frequently encountered in Asquith. With a glossy black body and a bright red or pink belly, it is easily recognised. These snakes are strongly associated with water and shade, and they are commonly found near creeks, drains, frog rich gardens, wet areas, and shaded corners of the yard. In Asquith, they often appear after rain or during warm sunny days when they bask on driveways and open patches. Although less defensive than brown snakes, red bellied black snakes are venomous and require professional snake removal for safety.

Diamond pythons are also common in Asquith due to the suburb’s strong connection to national parkland. These large, non venomous snakes are gentle by nature and often climb trees, fences, and roof areas. They rest in sheds, rafters, verandas, and warm sunny spots, especially during spring and early summer. Their distinctive patterned body blends into vegetation and stone, making them difficult to see until they move. Diamond pythons help control possum numbers and are an important part of the local ecosystem, but because of their size, they should be handled only by a trained professional.

Green tree snakes, also known as common tree snakes, are regularly sighted in Asquith. These slim, fast moving, non venomous snakes may be bright green, olive, or dark grey with a yellow underside. They often appear in gardens, along fences, in garages, or near pool areas. Green tree snakes escape quickly when disturbed and flatten their bodies to appear larger, which can alarm residents. Although they cannot cause harm, they should still be relocated professionally when found inside homes or in dangerous places.

Blue tongued lizards are one of the most commonly reported reptiles in the suburb. These slow moving skinks have a large body and a bright blue tongue they show when frightened. They live under pot plants, in garden beds, under decks, and near fences. Many Asquith residents call Urban Reptile Removal thinking they have seen a snake when it is actually a blue tongued lizard. We never mind checking. It is always safer to confirm.

Asquith properties offer many hiding places for snakes due to the suburb’s bushland setting and varied gardens. During snake removal callouts, the most common places we search include:

• under sandstone blocks and retaining walls
• beneath garden edging or decorative rocks
• behind hot water systems
• next to air conditioning units
• under pot plants and raised garden beds
• inside sheds behind stored items
• beneath decks and steps
• inside thick shrubs, hedges, and garden beds
• around pool pump enclosures
• along building edges and fences
• under timber, tiles, or stored materials
• around wheelie bin enclosures
• near play equipment and backyard structures

Once you call Urban Reptile Removal, you do not need to watch the snake. Snakes move silently and quickly, and following them can be dangerous. Our snake catcher will search each likely hiding place until the snake is located and safely removed.

Many Asquith residents wonder why snakes appear in their yard. The reason is simple: snakes follow food. Asquith has abundant frogs, insects, skinks, rodents, and other prey animals. Its bush corridors, shaded gardens, and natural creeks create ideal conditions for wildlife. Snakes are not trying to enter homes deliberately. They simply use the environment the same way birds, possums, and other animals do.

After removing the snake, we explain what attracted it and offer clear, practical advice on reducing future visits. You do not need ultrasonic devices, powders, sprays, or repellent products. These do not work. Effective prevention includes:

• keeping grass short
• removing clutter from the yard
• lifting stored items off the ground
• controlling rodents around the property
• tidying garden beds and trimming bushes
• securing outdoor pet food
• removing old building materials
• keeping fence lines clear
• organising sheds and garages
• sealing small gaps where snakes or rodents may enter

These steps reduce hiding spots for snakes and the prey animals they follow.

Some people worry that seeing one snake means many more must be present. This is not true. Snakes do not form groups, do not travel in pairs, and do not build nests in suburban areas. One sighting almost always means just one snake. Once relocated, the problem is usually solved.

Snakes sometimes enter homes in Asquith through open doors, worn sliding door tracks, cracks around pipes, and gaps under older structures. Any snake inside a building is considered an emergency snake removal situation. Urban Reptile Removal responds quickly to keep your home safe.
