Snakes move regularly through Brooklyn, especially during the warmer months when reptiles are most active. Residents often report snakes near driveways, along fences, inside sheds, on boats, beside rock walls, or moving through garden beds close to the home. Because Brooklyn sits right beside the Hawkesbury River and is surrounded by bushland on all sides, snakes use the suburb as a natural corridor. They move through properties quietly and quickly as part of their normal behaviour. Urban Reptile Removal attends many snake removal jobs in Brooklyn every year and understands how snakes use the local environment.
Snakes appear around homes because they follow natural needs: food, shelter, warmth, and safe movement. They do not approach homes to cause harm, and they do not seek out people. Snakes simply travel through areas where prey animals live and where hiding places exist. Most snakes avoid humans if given space. Problems usually arise when someone tries to chase, corner, or interfere with a snake. This can cause the animal to hide deeper under the house, inside a shed, or behind garden materials. Calling a professional snake removal service keeps the situation safe and controlled, with no risk to residents or pets.
Although Brooklyn has a strong connection to the river and surrounding national parkland, snakes in this area behave the same way as those in any other part of Sydney. The key difference is the landscape. Brooklyn has large rock outcrops, steep bushland edges, damp gullies, boat sheds, timber piles, fishing gear storage areas, jetties, and waterfront structures that all create ideal hiding places for reptiles. The most commonly encountered species in Brooklyn include the golden crowned snake, red bellied black snake, diamond python, green tree snake, and blue tongued lizard.
Golden crowned snakes are frequently seen in Brooklyn, particularly in shaded or damp locations close to the river or near vegetation. They are small snakes with a pale yellow band across the top of the head and nape, and a pink or reddish underside. They are venomous but typically cause only mild local symptoms. Many residents mistake them for baby brown snakes because of their similar size and fast movements. Golden crowned snakes hide under garden edging, loose rocks, timber piles, and thick leaf litter, especially after rain or on warm nights. A trained snake catcher can safely relocate them.
Red bellied black snakes are also common in Brooklyn due to the area’s wetlands and river surroundings. These snakes have a glossy black upper body and a bright red or pink belly. They prefer moist environments and often appear near boat ramps, creeks, drainage lines, shaded gardens, or areas where frogs are active. Red bellied black snakes are often seen basking after rain, crossing open grassy areas, or lying near riverbanks. Although they generally avoid confrontation, they are venomous and should be managed by a professional snake removal service.
Diamond pythons are another regular sight in Brooklyn. As one of the largest native snakes in NSW, they often enter sheds, climb into boat storage areas, rest on warm roof surfaces, or lie on wooden jetties and decks near the water. Their patterned black and yellow scales provide excellent camouflage against the natural rock and timber surfaces common in Brooklyn. Diamond pythons are calm and non venomous, but due to their size and strength, they should be removed only by a trained snake catcher. They feed on rats, mice, and possums and are an important part of the local ecosystem.
Green tree snakes are also widespread in Brooklyn. These slim, fast moving, non venomous snakes can be bright green, olive, or dark grey with a yellow underside. They climb extremely well and are often seen in hedges, along fences, behind garage walls, near boats, or high in trees close to the home. When frightened, they flatten their bodies to appear larger, which can cause alarm. Despite this defensive display, they are harmless. However, they are extremely quick and agile, making professional snake removal the safest and most effective solution.
Blue tongued lizards are common throughout Brooklyn and are often mistaken for snakes due to their thick bodies and smooth scales. They move slowly and feed on insects, snails, and fruit. Blue tongued lizards often hide under pot plants, timber piles, garden tools, or sun themselves near rocks or pathways. When startled, they puff up and show their bright blue tongue. Urban Reptile Removal receives many calls from residents who think they have found a snake but are relieved to discover it is only a blue tongued lizard. We are always happy to check.
Because of Brooklyn’s combination of riverfront access, bushland, older homes, and large blocks, snakes have many places to hide. Some of the most common snake hiding spots we search during snake removal in Brooklyn include:
• under timber piles and stacked building materials
• inside sheds and workshops behind boxes or tools
• beneath boats stored on trailers
• inside boathouses and storage rooms
• under jetties and deck structures
• behind hot water systems
• beside air conditioning units
• under garden edging or loose stones
• in thick shrubs or overgrown garden beds
• under pot plants and raised garden materials
• beneath outdoor steps or decking
• around wheelie bin enclosures
• inside garages behind stored equipment
• under roofing sheets or spare tiles
• along fences, retaining walls, and building edges
Once you call Urban Reptile Removal, there is no need to watch the snake or track its movements. Snakes are extremely quiet and disappear quickly. Following them can put you at risk. A trained snake catcher knows the likely hiding spots and will conduct a thorough search until the snake is located and removed safely.
Many Brooklyn residents worry that one snake sighting means there are multiple snakes nearby. This is a common myth. Snakes do not travel in pairs, they do not live in groups, and they do not build nests in residential yards. One sighting almost always means a single snake was present. Once it is removed, the issue is normally resolved.
After removing the snake, we explain what may have attracted it and provide practical steps to reduce future sightings. You do not need snake repellent powders, sprays, ultrasonic devices, or other products sold as quick fixes. These do not work. The only effective prevention includes:
• keeping grass short and tidy
• trimming hedges and clearing overgrown plants
• removing clutter from yards and sheds
• lifting stored items off the ground
• managing rodents and securing rubbish bins
• keeping pet food indoors or contained
• reducing leaf litter and excess mulch
• removing unused building materials
• organising garages and storage areas
• sealing small gaps when possible
• clearing vegetation along fence lines
These simple steps reduce hiding places and remove food sources for prey animals, making your property less appealing to snakes.
Snakes sometimes enter homes in Brooklyn through worn sliding door tracks, gaps near garages, open doors, or cracks around pipes. Any snake inside the home is treated as an emergency snake removal situation. Urban Reptile Removal responds quickly to ensure your home is safe.
