We stay on the phone with you and guide you step by step so you feel safe and supported the entire time.

Snakes move regularly through Cherrybrook, especially during warm weather. Residents often report snakes near garden beds, fences, sheds, retaining walls, garages, shaded vegetation, and sunny open areas around the property. The Hornsby Shire portion of Cherrybrook backs onto bush corridors and reserve areas that reptiles use for shelter and movement. Snakes follow natural pathways created by plants, rocks, water sources, and prey animals. Urban Reptile Removal attends many snake removal callouts in Cherrybrook each year, and we understand how snakes travel through this environment.

Snakes do not approach properties to cause harm. They simply look for warmth, shelter, or food. They avoid people when they can. Problems usually happen when someone tries to catch, corner, or chase the snake. This often pushes the animal into deeper hiding spots such as behind boxes in a garage, under timber, or inside garden structures, making removal more difficult and increasing the risk. Calling a trained snake catcher ensures the situation is handled safely and calmly. We understand snake behaviour, know where snakes hide, and can relocate them without risk to people or pets.

Cherrybrook provides excellent conditions for native reptiles. The suburb has large established gardens, sandstone retaining walls, mulched beds, shaded corners, moisture rich areas, and bush connected edges that create ideal habitat. The most common snakes and lizards we encounter in Cherrybrook include the golden crowned snake, red bellied black snake, diamond python, green tree snake, and blue tongued lizard. Each species behaves differently and appears in different parts of the suburb depending on food, temperature, moisture, and shelter.

Golden crowned snakes are often seen in Cherrybrook, especially in shaded areas with leaf litter, mulch, and moisture. These small nocturnal snakes have a pale yellow marking across the top of the head and nape and a reddish or pink underside. They are venomous but typically cause only mild local symptoms. Residents often confuse them with baby brown snakes. Golden crowned snakes hide under pot plants, garden edging, loose rocks, and raised garden materials. They are most active after rain and on warm humid nights.

Red bellied black snakes are also common in Cherrybrook. These snakes are easily identified by their shiny black upper body and bright red or pink underside. They prefer moist, cool environments and are often seen near drainage lines, shaded gardens, or areas with frogs. Residents sometimes find red bellied black snakes basking on pathways or rock ledges after rain. They are shy but venomous and should only be handled by a trained snake catcher.

Diamond pythons are one of the larger reptiles found in Cherrybrook. These non venomous snakes are gentle but strong. Their patterned black and yellow scales blend into the natural environment perfectly. Diamond pythons are excellent climbers and may rest on fences, roof beams, sheds, or verandas. They help control rodents and possums but should be relocated by a professional due to their size. Many Cherrybrook residents discover diamond pythons curled in warm sunny areas or inside roof cavities.

Green tree snakes are another species commonly found in Cherrybrook. These fast moving, non venomous snakes may be bright green, olive, or dark grey with a yellow underside. They climb extremely well and often appear in hedges, along fences, behind garage walls, or near pool areas. When frightened, they flatten their bodies to appear larger, which can be alarming. Despite this defensive display, they are harmless. Their speed and agility make professional snake removal the safest option.

Blue tongued lizards are widespread in Cherrybrook and often mistaken for snakes because of their thick bodies and smooth scales. These slow moving skinks feed on snails, insects, and fruit and often hide under pot plants, timber piles, garden tools, and warm themselves in sunny patches. When scared, they puff up and show their bright blue tongue. Urban Reptile Removal is always happy to confirm whether the reptile is a snake or a lizard.

Cherrybrook properties offer many hiding places for snakes due to large gardens, older structures, and bush connected edges. The most common places we find snakes during snake removal include:

• under retaining walls and sandstone blocks
• beneath pot plants and raised garden beds
• inside garages behind boxes or storage shelves
• around air conditioners, hot water systems, and utility areas
• under garden edging, rocks, and loose materials
• inside sheds or storage rooms behind tools
• under tarps, timber, tiles, or unused building materials
• in thick shrubs, hedges, and garden beds
• beneath decks, stairs, and outdoor platforms
• along fences or property boundaries
• near compost heaps or leaf piles
• around pool equipment or shaded corners
• in roof spaces or wall cavities

Once you call Urban Reptile Removal, there is no need to keep watching the snake. Snakes hide quickly and quietly, and trying to follow them can be dangerous. A trained snake catcher understands how each species behaves and knows which hiding places to check first. We carry out a careful and thorough search until the snake is located and removed safely.

Many Cherrybrook residents believe that one snake sighting means many snakes must be present. This is not true. Snakes do not travel in pairs. They do not live in groups. They do not build nests in suburban yards. One sighting almost always means just one snake was present. Once relocated, the problem is usually resolved.

After removing the snake, we explain what attracted it and what you can do to reduce future sightings. Cherrybrook properties often provide ideal habitat without residents realising it. You do not need powders, sprays, or ultrasonic devices. These products do not work. Effective prevention includes:

• mowing grass regularly
• trimming hedges and clearing overgrown plants
• removing clutter such as timber, tiles, and scrap materials
• lifting stored items off the ground
• securing outdoor pet food
• managing rodents
• reducing leaf litter and old mulch
• organising sheds and storage areas
• clearing fence lines and pathways
• sealing small gaps where possible

These actions reduce hiding places and remove food sources for prey animals, making your property less appealing to snakes.

Snakes sometimes enter homes in Cherrybrook through sliding door gaps, cracks around pipes, open garages, or worn door seals. Any snake inside the home is treated as an emergency snake removal situation. Urban Reptile Removal responds quickly to secure your home and remove the snake safely.
