If you have an unwanted snake call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418633474.
Harris Park is a busy, close-knit suburb with a mix of older homes, new apartments, heritage buildings, small backyards, unit courtyards, cafes, schools, and well-used streets. Even though it feels urban, Harris Park still sits close to green corridors and waterways that link through Parramatta, Rosehill, and the river. These natural pathways make it normal for snakes to move through the area, especially when the weather warms up. Many local residents see snakes in gardens, shared driveways, near fences, inside sheds, beside rubbish areas, or around building edges. Urban Reptile Removal attends many snake callouts in Harris Park every year.
If you see a snake in Harris Park, the best thing you can do is stay calm, step back, take pets and children indoors, and call 0418 633 474 for fast, safe SnakeRemoval. You do not need to take a photo. You do not need to try to work out what kind of snake it is. You do not need to keep watching it. Snakes usually hide in the closest safe place, and a trained SnakeCatcher will find it once we arrive. We talk you through what to do while we are on the way, so you always know exactly what is happening.
Harris Park has a wide range of housing styles, which means snakes can appear anywhere. Ground-floor apartments with small gardens, terraces with narrow side paths, older homes with large yards, and commercial buildings with storage areas all create opportunities for snakes to move through. The most common species in Harris Park are the Eastern brown snake, red-bellied black snake, golden crowned snake, diamond python, and the well known blue-tongued lizard. None of these snakes go out of their way to approach people. They are simply passing through or looking for warmth, shelter, or food.
The Eastern brown snake is one of the main species removed from Harris Park. This snake is dangerously venomous and can move extremely fast. Brown snakes do well in suburbs with warm surfaces, rodent activity, small gardens, fences, and quiet hiding places. Many residents see them crossing shared driveways, slipping through small gaps, hiding beside hot water systems, or resting near garden edging. Because of their behaviour and speed, Eastern brown snakes should never be approached. If you see one anywhere in Harris Park, call 0418 633 474 immediately for EmergencySnakeRemoval.
Red-bellied black snakes are also seen in Harris Park, especially around the river, drains, and damp gardens. These snakes are glossy black with red or pink bellies. They often appear after rain or on warm days when they are looking for frogs or moving between shaded areas. They are less defensive than brown snakes but are still venomous and must be treated with care. Many people see them near water, crossing grass, or moving along fence lines.
The golden crowned snake is a smaller species that often appears at night. It has a pale yellow marking across the top of its head and a pink or reddish belly. While venomous, this snake normally causes only local symptoms. Many residents see golden crowned snakes on warm humid nights, near leaf litter, rock edges, garden beds, or paths after rain. Because they are small and fast, people often mistake them for juvenile brown snakes. A trained SnakeCatcher can confirm the species and remove it safely.
Diamond pythons are another species found in Harris Park. These large, non venomous pythons climb very well and often rest in roof spaces, courtyards, sheds, and trees. They can appear curled up on fences, stretched across warm walls, or hidden behind outdoor items. While they are harmless, they can surprise residents by appearing in unusual places. Diamond pythons are gentle by nature but are best left to a professional for safe removal because of their size and strength.
Blue-tongued lizards are one of the most commonly misidentified reptiles in Harris Park. These friendly skinks move slowly, enjoy sunny spots, and eat snails, insects, fruit, and leftovers from gardens. They often hide under pot plants, sit near fences, or wander through small yards. When they feel scared, they puff up and show their blue tongue, which can make people think they have seen a snake. Urban Reptile Removal receives many calls about blue-tongued lizards. We are always happy to check, and we prefer residents call us rather than make guesses.
Harris Park has many small and medium garden spaces where snakes can hide. Even tiny gaps are enough for a snake to shelter in. Common hiding spots in Harris Park include:
• under garden edging or pot plants
• behind hot water systems
• inside garages, especially along the walls
• under small storage containers or toolboxes
• in shrubs, hedges, and overgrown corners
• under steps, decks, or ground-level structures
• beside fences and tight building edges
• around rubbish areas or recycling bins
• inside wheelie bin enclosures
• beneath outdoor toys or equipment
• under tiles, metal sheets, timber, or stored materials
You do not need to look for the snake or follow it. Once Urban Reptile Removal arrives, we check each area carefully until the snake is located and removed safely.
Many residents want to know why snakes enter their yard or courtyard. The answer is simple: snakes follow food. Harris Park has plenty of insects, rodents, small lizards, and other prey animals. Snakes are not trying to enter homes on purpose. They move through the area because it provides warmth, shelter, and food sources. Because of this, snakes can appear in any part of the suburb, even in very built-up streets.
After removing the snake, we explain why it came into the area and offer practical ways to reduce the chance of another visit. You do not need ultrasonic devices, powders, or chemical snake repellents. These do not work. The only effective steps are small, simple changes such as:
• keeping grass short
• removing clutter from courtyards and gardens
• lifting items off the ground onto shelves
• keeping garden beds tidy and reducing thick leaf litter
• storing pet food indoors or in sealed containers
• managing rodent activity
• trimming back overgrown plants
• removing old building materials
• keeping areas near fences and walls clear
• organising sheds and storage areas
These improvements reduce hiding places and make the yard less appealing to both prey animals and snakes.
Some people fear that seeing one snake means there are more. Snakes do not travel in pairs, do not live in groups, and do not make nests in suburban yards. One sighting almost always means one snake. Once that snake is removed, the problem is usually solved.
Snakes sometimes enter homes in Harris Park, especially older apartments, townhouses with gaps, or houses with worn door seals. Snakes may come inside through open doors, damaged sliding tracks, rodent holes, cracks around pipes, or small structural gaps. Any snake inside a home is considered an urgent callout. Urban Reptile Removal responds quickly to make the home safe again.
