We speak clearly, guide you through every step, and keep everything calm and controlled until the snake has been safely removed.

Kellyville has a mix of newer homes, well-kept gardens, established pockets, and bush corridors that create easy movement pathways for local wildlife. Snakes use these natural features quietly and predictably. They do not look for confrontation, and they do not come into yards because of people. They simply follow food, shelter, warmth, and safe hiding places. With reptiles active in this area, professional snake removal makes all the difference when one appears where it shouldn’t.

Snakes move according to simple instincts. They follow prey animals such as frogs, skinks, insects, small birds, and rodents. They use fences, rock edges, garden beds, water features, sheds, and leaf litter as movement pathways. They warm themselves on concrete, pavers, retaining walls, and sunny open areas before retreating to shaded corners. When they are startled or chased, they panic and hide deeper, making snake removal more difficult. Calling Urban Reptile Removal ensures a safe and professional response every time.

Kellyville has reliable sightings of five common reptile species: the golden-crowned snake, red-bellied black snake, diamond python, green tree snake, and blue-tongued lizard. Each species behaves differently, prefers different hiding spots, and becomes active under different conditions.

Golden-crowned snakes are small, slender, and mainly active at night. They have a pale yellow band across the head and a pink to reddish underside. Although they are venomous, their bites usually cause only mild local symptoms. Many residents confuse them with baby brown snakes because of their size and colour. Golden-crowned snakes prefer cool, damp hiding spots such as under garden edging, inside mulch, beneath rocks, or behind timber. After rain, they often move across paths and driveways. Because they slip into tiny gaps quickly, it takes an experienced snake catcher to locate them safely.

Red-bellied black snakes are common in Kellyville and easy to identify. Their glossy black upper body and bright red or pink belly are distinctive. They prefer areas near water, shade, and vegetation, and they feed on frogs, lizards, small snakes, and fish. Although venomous, they are naturally shy and avoid people whenever possible. When cornered or frightened, they may flatten their body or hiss. Professional snake removal avoids unnecessary risk and ensures safe handling.

Diamond pythons are gentle, non-venomous snakes that are excellent climbers. They have patterned black and yellow scales and often rest on fences, verandas, rafters, pergolas, or in roof spaces. Kellyville has many small mammals such as rats and possums, which attract diamond pythons naturally. Although they are harmless to humans, they are large and strong and require professional snake removal to avoid injury to the snake or the resident.

Green tree snakes are fast, slim, and harmless. Their colour varies from bright green to olive, grey, or almost black, with a yellow underside. They have large eyes and excellent vision. When frightened, they flatten their bodies to show flashes of blue between their scales, which can alarm residents unfamiliar with the behaviour. They move quickly through hedges, fences, pool surrounds, gardens, and roof edges. They feed mainly on skinks and frogs. Because they move so quickly, they can vanish before residents can keep track of them, making professional snake removal the safest option.

Blue-tongued lizards are one of the most common reptiles in Kellyville and are frequently mistaken for snakes. These large skinks move slowly but rustle loudly through leaf litter and garden beds. They have a bright blue tongue used for defence. They hide under pot plants, backyard equipment, timber piles, sheds, steps, and warm corners. They feed on insects, snails, fruit, and leftover pet food. Many residents call Urban Reptile Removal thinking they’ve seen a snake, only to discover it was a blue-tongued lizard. We never mind checking.

Kellyville properties provide many ideal hiding places for snakes and other reptiles. During callouts, Urban Reptile Removal commonly finds snakes in the following areas:

behind hot water systems
under pot plants
inside garages behind storage items
beneath retaining walls
in roof cavities or wall openings
in sheds behind tools, boxes, or bags
under timber, tiles, or unused building materials
inside thick hedges or shrubs
around pool pump areas
inside compost and mulch piles
behind large rocks or garden ornaments
along fence lines and narrow side paths
under outdoor furniture or tarps
beneath decks, stairs, or raised garden structures

Once you call Urban Reptile Removal, there is no need to track the snake. Snakes hide fast and silently. Following them usually pushes them deeper into the property, making snake removal harder. A trained snake catcher understands species behaviour, the time of day, temperature, and property layout. We use this information to locate the snake calmly and safely.

After removing the snake, we explain why it was there and provide practical prevention advice. Ultrasonic devices, powders, and chemical repellents do not work. Effective prevention focuses on reducing food sources and hiding spots. This includes mowing grass regularly, trimming vegetation along fences, clearing leaf litter, sealing small gaps, removing unused materials, organising sheds, storing timber off the ground, reducing rodent activity, and securing outdoor pet food.

If a snake enters your home, this becomes an emergency snake removal situation. Snakes can enter through small gaps, open doors, garage openings, and holes around pipes. Urban Reptile Removal responds quickly to remove the snake and secure the property.

Residents choose Urban Reptile Removal because we work calmly, professionally, and respectfully. We remove the snake safely, keep you informed, and give you clear advice that actually works. With extensive experience throughout Kellyville and The Hills District, we know how snakes move and how to locate them quickly.

If you notice movement, hear rustling in vegetation, or see your pet reacting strongly to a certain area, call 0418 633 474 immediately. For safe, fast, and reliable snake removal in Kellyville, you can depend on Urban Reptile Removal every day of the year.
