Snakes move often through Glenorie, especially during warm weather in spring and summer. Residents commonly report snakes around sheds, barns, driveways, chicken coops, horse paddocks, compost piles, water tanks, and rocky garden areas. Glenorie’s combination of large blocks, rural spaces, animal enclosures, orchards, nurseries, and bushland edges provides ideal habitat for reptiles. Because snakes follow natural corridors and food sources, sightings are frequent, and Urban Reptile Removal attends many snake removal jobs in Glenorie each year.
Snakes do not approach properties intentionally or try to interact with people. They are simply seeking warmth, shelter, or food such as frogs, skinks, rodents, and insects. Most snakes will leave an area if given space, but issues occur when someone attempts to chase, corner, or catch the animal. This often causes the snake to hide deeper under storage materials or inside sheds, making it harder to remove. Calling a professional snake removal service keeps you and your family safe. A trained snake catcher understands snake behaviour, knows the common hiding places in Glenorie, and can relocate the animal safely and effectively.
The most frequently encountered species in Glenorie include the golden crowned snake, red bellied black snake, diamond python, green tree snake, and blue tongued lizard. Each species uses Glenorie differently depending on moisture, shelter, property layout, and food availability.
Golden crowned snakes appear regularly in Glenorie, especially in shady, damp areas with deep leaf litter or mulch. These small snakes have a pale yellow band across the head and nape and a reddish or pink belly. They are venomous but normally cause only local symptoms. Residents often mistake them for juvenile brown snakes due to their small size and quick movements. Golden crowned snakes often hide under garden edging, timber piles, rocks, and raised garden structures. They are most active during warm nights or after rain.
Red bellied black snakes are also common in Glenorie. Their glossy black body and bright red or pink underside make them easy to recognise. They prefer areas with water or moisture, such as creek lines, dams, troughs, drainage areas, and shaded garden beds. Red bellied black snakes often appear after rain or during warm mornings when they bask on driveways, rock ledges, or sunny patches. Although they are generally shy, they are venomous and should only be relocated by a trained snake catcher.
Diamond pythons are frequently reported in Glenorie due to the abundance of barns, stables, sheds, roof cavities, and outdoor structures. These large non venomous snakes are gentle but strong. Their patterned black and yellow scales allow them to blend perfectly into timber, rock, and vegetation. Diamond pythons often enter roof spaces, rest on rafters, hide inside sheds, or stretch out on warm masonry or decking. They help control pests such as rats and possums but should be removed by a professional because of their size.
Green tree snakes are another species commonly seen in Glenorie. These slim, fast moving, non venomous snakes climb extremely well and can be bright green, olive, or dark grey with a yellow underside. Residents often see them in hedges, along fences, behind shed walls, near pool areas, or high in trees. When threatened, they flatten their bodies to appear larger, which can be alarming. Despite this defensive display, they are harmless. They move quickly, making professional snake removal the safest option.
Blue tongued lizards are extremely common in Glenorie. These slow moving skinks feed on insects, fruit, snails, and small vegetation. They often hide under pot plants, timber, machinery, compost piles, or sun themselves in warm patches near sheds and pathways. When frightened, they puff up and show their bright blue tongue, which can lead some residents to mistake them for snakes. Urban Reptile Removal is always happy to confirm the species for you.
Properties in Glenorie offer many different hiding places due to the rural environment, larger blocks, and outdoor structures. The most common places where we find snakes during snake removal include:
• under timber piles, metal sheets, and stored building materials
• inside barns, sheds, stables, and workshops behind tools or boxes
• beneath water tanks, troughs, and pump equipment
• in chicken coops or animal feed areas
• under pot plants, garden edges, and loose rocks
• inside garages behind storage shelves
• under farming tools, machinery, or tarps
• beneath decks, stairs, and outdoor platforms
• inside roof spaces or wall gaps
• around compost heaps or mulch piles
• near rural fencing and paddock boundaries
• in long grass, overgrown hedges, and thick garden beds
Once you call Urban Reptile Removal, there is no need to continue watching the snake or trying to track it. Snakes hide quickly and quietly, and following them can put you at risk. A trained snake catcher understands the behaviour of each species and knows which hiding places to check first. We perform a methodical and thorough search until the snake is found and removed safely.
Many Glenorie residents worry that one snake sighting means more snakes must be nearby. This is a common myth. Snakes do not travel in pairs or groups. They do not build nests in residential yards. A single sighting almost always means just one snake. Once relocated, the issue is usually resolved completely.
After we remove the snake, we explain what may have attracted it and what can be done to reduce future sightings. Glenorie’s large blocks and rural setups often create perfect snake habitat accidentally, but simple steps can make your property less appealing. You do not need powders, sprays, or ultrasonic devices. These products do not work. Effective prevention includes:
• mowing grass regularly
• trimming hedges and overgrown plants
• removing piles of timber, metal sheets, or loose building materials
• storing items off the ground
• managing rodents, especially near barns or feed rooms
• securing pet food or chicken feed
• cleaning up leaf litter and old mulch
• organising sheds, stables, and workshops
• clearing long grass along fences
• sealing small gaps where possible
• keeping pathways clear
These changes reduce hiding places and make it harder for prey animals to live on your property, which reduces the likelihood of snakes passing through.
Snakes sometimes enter homes or rural buildings in Glenorie through small gaps around doors, open stable entries, cracks near pipes, or gaps caused by rodents. Any snake inside a home or enclosed building is treated as an emergency snake removal situation. Urban Reptile Removal responds quickly and safely to secure the area.
