Camellia is one of the most industrial and least residential suburbs in the Parramatta region, but it still contains large open spaces, river frontage, long grass, storage yards, drainage systems, railway corridors, factories, vacant lots, and fenced-off land that all provide ideal movement pathways for snakes. Although only a small number of people live in Camellia, many workers, delivery drivers, security staff, contractors, and property managers encounter snakes throughout the year. Urban Reptile Removal attends callouts in Camellia regularly, especially during warm weather, following heavy rain, and in the hotter months when snakes travel between hunting areas and shelter.
If you see a snake in Camellia, the safest and simplest thing you can do is step back, move colleagues or staff away from the area, and call 0418 633 474 for immediate Snake Removal. You do not need to take a photo or identify the species. You do not need to follow the snake or try to keep an eye on it. Snakes almost always retreat to the nearest hiding place, and a licensed Snake Catcher will locate it once we arrive. We talk you through exactly what to do while we are on the way.
Camellia includes large factories, industrial workshops, heavy machinery yards, demolition sites, building supply depots, maintenance areas, scrap yards, fenced compounds, rail tracks, and open riverbank spaces. Snakes use these areas as natural corridors because they provide warmth, food, water, and shelter. The most common reptiles encountered in Camellia include the Eastern brown snake, red-bellied black snake, golden crowned snake, diamond python, and blue-tongued lizard. These species continue to live in the area because of the industrial layout, warm surfaces, long grass, rodents, water access, and quiet spaces where they can rest undisturbed.
The Eastern brown snake is the species most often removed from Camellia. Brown snakes are dangerously venomous and extremely fast. They are active during the day, thrive around warehouses, storage lots, metal scrap piles, rail corridors, and warm concrete, and feed heavily on rodents which are common around industrial sites. Workers often see brown snakes crossing access roads, moving under machinery, slipping beneath pallets, disappearing under steel frames, or hiding beneath containers. Because of their defensive behaviour and speed, Eastern brown snakes should never be approached. If you see one in Camellia, call 0418 633 474 for Emergency Snake Removal without delay.
Red-bellied black snakes are also common in Camellia, especially near the Parramatta River, drainage channels, wet grass, and shaded parts of yards. Red-bellies are glossy black with bright red or pink bellies. They often appear after rain, moving through low-lying areas, crossing paths, or resting near water. They are less defensive than brown snakes but are still venomous and must be handled only by a trained professional. In industrial areas, they are often found under sheets of metal, near stacked timber, or beside drainage grates.
The golden crowned snake is another species occasionally found in Camellia. This small nocturnal snake has a pale yellow band across the head and a pink or reddish belly. Golden crowned snakes usually appear after rain or during warm, humid conditions. They often hide in leaf litter, under debris, inside drains, beside small retaining structures, or around the fringes of factory gardens. Because of their size, they are often mistaken for juvenile brown snakes. Although venomous, they normally cause only local symptoms. A Snake Catcher can identify and remove them safely.
Diamond pythons also persist in the wider Camellia area, especially near the riverbank, railway corridors, and treed edges of industrial lots. These large, non venomous pythons are strong climbers and are sometimes seen in rafters, roof cavities, or hidden among stacked equipment. They may also curl up behind warm metal objects or rest along high beams. While gentle and not dangerous, diamond pythons can be difficult for staff to move safely due to their size and strength. We relocate many of them each season.
Blue-tongued lizards are another species frequently mistaken for snakes in Camellia. These slow moving, harmless skinks help control snails, insects, and other pests around industrial gardens. They often shelter under pallets, beside fence lines, behind storage crates, or beneath plant pots near office entrances. When frightened, blue-tongues puff up and display their blue tongue, which can alarm workers who think they have seen a snake. Urban Reptile Removal is always happy to check these situations.
Industrial properties in Camellia contain many ideal hiding places for snakes. The most common areas where we search include:
• under stacks of timber or metal
• behind machinery and equipment
• beneath shipping containers
• inside sheds or garages along the walls
• under pallets and storage racks
• inside electrical service areas
• around rail tracks or ballast piles
• along fences and shadowed edges
• beneath building materials or waste piles
• near drainage channels or entry grates
• inside wheelie bin storage bays
• beneath outdoor equipment or supplies
Snakes do not need much space to hide. Even a small gap under a slab, a shaded corner in a workshop, or a pile of unused material can be enough.
Many workers and property managers want to know why snakes are so common in Camellia. The answer is simple: snakes follow food. Industrial zones attract rodents, and rodents attract snakes. Add to this the warm concrete, large open spaces, storage yards, and quiet undisturbed corners, and Camellia becomes a natural habitat for several reptile species. Snakes are not targeting workers or buildings. They move through the area because the environment suits them perfectly.
Once the snake is removed, we explain what attracted it and provide practical steps that actually reduce future visits. You do not need powders, sprays, or ultrasonic devices. These products do not work. The only effective measures include:
• controlling rodents
• removing rubbish build up
• lifting materials off the ground
• storing items in organised racks
• clearing vegetation around fences
• keeping grass short
• improving outdoor lighting around entrances
• removing unused building materials
• keeping paths and edges clean
• sealing gaps where possible
These small changes reduce hiding places and remove food sources that encourage wildlife.
A common concern in Camellia is whether a single snake sighting means there are more. Snakes do not travel in pairs, do not live in groups, and do not create nests in suburban or industrial yards. Almost always, one sighting means one snake. Once that snake is relocated, the problem is usually resolved.
Snake entries into offices, lunchrooms, storage sheds, or factory floors are rare but do occur. Snakes may enter through open roller doors, gaps under doors, loading ramps, damaged seals, or spaces around pipes. Any snake found indoors is considered urgent. Urban Reptile Removal responds quickly to keep staff safe and minimise workplace disruption.
