Constitution Hill is a quiet, established suburb with older homes, renovated properties, neat gardens, sloped blocks, long fences, and a strong sense of community. Its elevated position, leafy streets, bush corridors, and proximity to Toongabbie Creek and Pendle Creek make it a natural movement zone for native wildlife, including snakes. Residents regularly see snakes in gardens, along fences, beside sheds, near driveways, inside garages, or moving through drainage lines and reserve areas. Urban Reptile Removal attends many snake callouts in Constitution Hill every year, particularly during spring, summer, and early autumn.
If you see a snake in Constitution Hill, the safest action is to stay calm, step back, bring pets and children indoors, and call 0418 633 474 for immediate SnakeRemoval. You do not need to take a photo or try to identify the species. You do not need to follow the snake or keep watching it. A trained SnakeCatcher will talk you through what to do while we are on the way. Snakes almost always hide in the nearest safe place, and we will locate it once we arrive.
Constitution Hill includes a mix of brick homes, older cottages, duplexes, townhouses, and leafy backyards. Many homes sit on sloped blocks with retaining walls, hedges, shrubs, and older-style sheds that create plenty of shaded corners and hiding spaces. The most common species in Constitution Hill include the Eastern brown snake, red-bellied black snake, golden crowned snake, diamond python, and blue-tongued lizard. These reptiles pass through the suburb as part of their natural behaviour. They are not trying to bother people or enter homes on purpose. They simply move through areas that provide warmth, shelter, and access to food.
The Eastern brown snake is one of the most frequently encountered species in Constitution Hill. This highly venomous and extremely fast snake thrives in areas with high rodent activity, warm surfaces, older gardens, long fence lines, and quiet hiding spots. Residents often see brown snakes crossing driveways, slipping under garden edging, travelling along fences, resting beside sheds, or disappearing into gaps beneath structures. Brown snakes should never be approached or cornered. If you see one anywhere in Constitution Hill, call 0418 633 474 for professional EmergencySnakeRemoval.
Red-bellied black snakes also occur in Constitution Hill, especially around damp gardens, shaded yards, creek lines, and areas where frogs are active. These snakes are easy to recognise because of their glossy black bodies and bright red or pink bellies. They are often seen basking on rocks, moving along drainage lines, hunting near water, or crossing lawns after rain. Though generally less defensive than brown snakes, they are still venomous and must be treated with caution. A trained SnakeCatcher should always handle them.
Another species commonly found in Constitution Hill is the golden crowned snake. This small nocturnal snake has a pale yellow marking across the head and nape, along with a pink or reddish belly. Golden crowned snakes are venomous but normally only cause local symptoms. They are often seen near leaf litter, raised garden beds, rockeries, and shaded areas, particularly after rain or during warm humid nights. Many people mistake them for juvenile brown snakes, which can cause concern. A trained SnakeCatcher can identify and relocate them safely.
Constitution Hill is also home to diamond pythons. These large, non venomous snakes are shy but strong and can appear unexpectedly around homes. Diamond pythons climb extremely well and are often found in sheds, roof spaces, rafters, and dense gardens. They are also seen stretched across fences, curled up in sunny corners, or moving through trees. Diamond pythons are harmless to people and pets but still require professional removal due to their size and ability to hide in difficult locations. Urban Reptile Removal relocates many diamond pythons each season.
One of the most commonly misidentified reptiles in the area is the blue-tongued lizard. Blue-tongues are friendly, slow moving skinks that feed on snails, insects, fruit, and other backyard pests. They regularly appear in gardens, near fences, under pot plants, or beside garden beds. When startled, they hiss and show their blue tongue, which leads many people to think they have seen a snake. We never mind checking. It is always better to call and feel safe.
Constitution Hill properties have a wide range of features that create perfect hiding places for snakes. These include older sheds, stacked timber, sandstone walls, thick hedges, garden beds, pool equipment, and shaded corners. The most common hiding spots we search include:
• under retaining walls or sandstone blocks
• behind hot water systems
• beside air-conditioning units
• inside garages behind stored items
• under pot plants or raised garden beds
• within shrubs, hedges, and thick gardens
• under sheds, decks, or outdoor storage
• along fences, pathways, or outdoor steps
• around pool pumps and filtration equipment
• beneath piles of timber, tiles, or metal sheets
• inside wheelie bin enclosures
• under childrens outdoor equipment
Once you call Urban Reptile Removal, you do not need to stay outside and watch the snake. We will search every likely hiding place until we locate and remove the animal safely.
Many residents want to know why snakes appear in their yard. The reason is simple: snakes follow food. Constitution Hill has abundant insects, rodents, frogs, lizards, and small prey animals. The creeks and drainage lines nearby also provide ideal movement pathways. Snakes are not choosing homes for any deliberate reason. They simply move where food and shelter are available.
After removing the snake, we explain what attracted it and offer practical steps to reduce future sightings. You do not need powders, ultrasonic devices, or chemical snake repellents. These products do not work. The only effective methods involve basic outdoor maintenance:
• keep grass short
• tidy garden beds
• remove clutter from the yard
• lift stored materials off the ground
• trim hedges and reduce thick vegetation
• secure outdoor pet food
• control rodents
• remove old building materials
• clear spaces around fences and walls
• organise sheds and outdoor storage
These changes reduce hiding places and remove food sources that attract prey animals.
Many residents worry that seeing one snake means there are more nearby. Snakes do not live in groups, do not travel in pairs, and do not create nests in suburban yards. In almost every case, one sighting means one snake. Once that individual is relocated, the issue is usually resolved.
Snake entries into homes do sometimes occur in Constitution Hill, especially older houses with structural gaps or properties near creek systems. Snakes may enter through open doors, damaged sliding tracks, cracks around pipes, rodent holes, or worn door seals. Any snake inside a home is treated as urgent, and we respond quickly.
Residents choose Urban Reptile Removal because we handle every situation calmly, respectfully, and professionally. We do not create panic. We do not judge your yard or home. We remove the snake safely, explain why it appeared, and provide advice that genuinely works.
