Snakes are regularly seen in Gordon, especially in the warmer months from spring through late autumn. Residents often report snakes in garden beds, near rock walls, along shady pathways, beside driveways, behind hot water systems, under pot plants, and inside garages or sheds. Gordon has many leafy streets, older homes with deep gardens, sandstone retaining walls, and connected bushland corridors. These areas give snakes many natural places to move through and hide. Because of this, Urban Reptile Removal attends many snake removal callouts in Gordon each year. Snakes travel quietly and quickly, and knowing the typical movement patterns in this suburb helps us remove them safely.
Snakes enter Gordon properties for simple and natural reasons. They follow food such as frogs, rodents, skinks, insects, and small birds. They also look for shelter, warmth, shade, and safe pathways that allow them to avoid predators and disturbance. Snakes do not try to interact with people. They avoid humans whenever possible and only display defensive behaviour when cornered or frightened. Problems happen when someone tries to chase, trap, block, or catch the snake. This usually forces the animal to hide deeper behind storage items, inside dense vegetation, or under structures, which makes removal more difficult and increases the risk. Calling a trained snake catcher ensures that snake removal is done safely and calmly. Professional handling prevents accidents and protects both people and the snake.
The most common species found in Gordon include the golden crowned snake, red bellied black snake, diamond python, green tree snake, and blue tongued lizard. Each species behaves differently and uses different areas of the suburb for shelter and movement.
Golden crowned snakes are frequently seen in the Gordon area. These small nocturnal snakes have a pale yellow band across the top of the head and the nape, with a pink or reddish underside. They are venomous but usually cause mild local symptoms. Their small size makes many residents think they are looking at a juvenile brown snake. Golden crowned snakes hide under garden edging, beneath timber, inside mulch beds, behind rocks, and in damp shaded corners. They are most active after rain and on warm humid nights.
Red bellied black snakes are another species often found in Gordon. They are easy to recognise because of their shiny black body and bright red or pink belly. They prefer moist environments and are often seen near drainage lines, creeks, frog habitats, shaded gardens, and damp leaf litter. They bask in sunny areas during the morning to warm themselves. Although they usually try to escape when disturbed, they are venomous and must be removed only by a trained snake catcher.
Diamond pythons are one of the larger reptiles seen in Gordon. These non venomous snakes are gentle but strong and excellent climbers. They have patterned black and yellow scales that blend perfectly with fences, trees, roofs, and sheds. Diamond pythons may enter roof spaces, rest on verandas, curl up behind garages, or stretch out along sunny retaining walls. They help control rodents but should be handled only by professionals due to their size and strength.
Green tree snakes are also common in Gordon. These slim, fast moving, non venomous snakes can be bright green, olive, grey, or nearly black, with a yellow underside. They climb very well and often appear in hedges, trees, fences, garages, and around pool areas. When frightened, they flatten their bodies to appear larger, which can alarm people who do not recognise them. They cannot harm humans but are very quick, so professional snake removal is the safest option.
Blue tongued lizards are widespread across Gordon and often mistaken for snakes. These large skinks move slowly and feed on snails, insects, fruit, and leftover pet food. They hide under pot plants, garden equipment, timber piles, and warm themselves on driveways and pathways. When startled, they puff up and show their bright blue tongue. Urban Reptile Removal receives many calls from residents who believe they have seen a snake, only to find out it is a blue tongue. We are always happy to check.
Gordon properties have a wide range of hiding places that snakes use throughout the year. During snake removal callouts, Urban Reptile Removal frequently finds snakes:
• under pot plants and raised garden tubs
• behind hot water systems and air conditioners
• beneath timber piles, tiles, and old building materials
• inside garages behind storage shelves or boxes
• in garden sheds behind tools, lawn equipment, or bags of soil
• under sandstone retaining walls and loose rocks
• inside roof cavities or wall gaps
• beneath decks, stairs, and raised outdoor structures
• inside thick hedges, shrubs, or dense garden beds
• around pool pump equipment and shaded corners
• near compost heaps, mulch piles, and leaf litter
• along fence lines and boundary edges
• inside gaps created by rodents under sheds
• beneath outdoor furniture or stacked materials
Once you call Urban Reptile Removal, there is no need to keep watching the snake. Snakes hide quickly and silently. Following them puts you too close and often pushes them deeper into hiding. A trained snake catcher understands the behaviour of each species and knows the order of hiding places to check. We perform a slow, calm, and careful search until the snake is located and removed safely.
Many Gordon residents worry that if they see one snake, there must be more nearby. This is a common misunderstanding. 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 there was only one snake. After it is relocated, the problem is usually solved.
After removing the snake, we explain what attracted it to the property and what simple steps will help reduce future sightings. Snake repellent products, powders, sprays, and ultrasonic devices do not work. Effective prevention includes:
• mowing grass often
• trimming hedges and removing overgrown plants
• organising sheds and storage areas
• removing scrap materials and storing items off the ground
• clearing fence lines and pathways
• reducing old mulch and leaf litter
• managing rodents around sheds and garages
• securing outdoor pet food
• sealing small gaps where possible
• removing unused building materials
• tidying garden beds
• trimming vegetation near walls and structures
These actions reduce hiding places and decrease the number of prey animals, making your property less attractive to snakes.
Snakes sometimes enter homes in Gordon through open doors, small gaps near pipes, sliding door tracks, or garages. Any snake inside the home is treated as an emergency snake removal situation. Urban Reptile Removal responds quickly, calmly, and professionally to ensure your safety.
