Snakes are often seen in Killara, especially during the warm months from spring to late autumn. Residents regularly report snakes near garden beds, in rockeries, beside driveways, along fences, under pot plants, inside garages, behind hot water systems, and around shaded corners of the property. Killara is well known for its large leafy gardens, mature trees, older style homes, sandstone retaining walls, and natural bush corridors that run behind many streets. All of these features create perfect movement paths for native reptiles. Because of this, Urban Reptile Removal attends many snake removal callouts in Killara every year. Snakes move quietly and quickly, and understanding their habits in this suburb helps us remove them safely and efficiently.
Snakes do not come into Killara properties because they want to scare people. They enter yards for simple and natural reasons. They look for food such as frogs, skinks, insects, small birds, and rodents. They look for shelter, shade, and warmth. They use garden edges, fences, hedges, rock walls, and shaded walkways as natural corridors because these areas give them cover and safety. Snakes avoid humans whenever they can. They only show defensive behaviour when they are cornered or frightened. Problems happen when someone tries to chase, block, trap, or catch the snake. This causes the animal to hide more deeply in the property, making it harder to locate and increasing the risk. Calling a trained snake catcher is always the safest option. Professional snake removal ensures safety for both the people on the property and the reptile itself.
The most common species found in Killara include the golden crowned snake, red bellied black snake, diamond python, green tree snake, and blue tongued lizard. Each species behaves differently, uses different hiding places, and moves through the suburb in different ways.
Golden crowned snakes are frequently seen in Killara. These small, nocturnal snakes have a pale yellow marking across the head and nape, with a pink or reddish underside. They are venomous but usually cause mild local symptoms. Many residents mistake them for baby brown snakes because of their small size. Golden crowned snakes hide under timber, rocks, mulch beds, garden edging, and in moist shaded corners. They are most active after rain or on warm humid nights.
Red bellied black snakes are also common in Killara. Their glossy black upper body and bright red or pink belly make them easy to recognise. They prefer moisture rich environments and are often found near drainage lines, frog areas, shady gardens, and damp vegetation. They may be seen basking on pathways or rocks after rain. Although they usually try to escape, they are venomous and must be removed only by a trained snake catcher.
Diamond pythons are one of the largest reptiles found in Killara. These non venomous snakes are gentle but strong and climb extremely well. Their patterned black and yellow scales help them blend with trees, fences, roof lines, and garden features. Diamond pythons often rest in roof spaces, curl up behind garages, stretch out along warm retaining walls, or hide in sheds. They help control rodents but should still be handled only by professionals due to their size.
Green tree snakes are another species often seen in Killara. These slim, fast moving, non venomous snakes can be bright green, olive, grey, or almost black with a yellow underside. They climb easily and often appear in hedges, trees, fences, garden walls, garages, and around pool areas. When alarmed, they flatten their bodies to look wider, which can frighten people. They cannot harm humans but are extremely fast, so they are best removed by a trained snake catcher.
Blue tongued lizards are very common in Killara and are often mistaken for snakes. These large skinks move slowly, have smooth scales, and show a bright blue tongue when threatened. They feed on snails, insects, fruit, and leftovers from pet bowls. They hide under pot plants, timber piles, garden tools, and warm themselves on paths or driveways. Urban Reptile Removal receives many calls from residents who believe they have seen a snake, only to discover it is a blue tongued lizard.
Killara properties offer many ideal hiding places for snakes. During snake removal callouts, Urban Reptile Removal frequently finds snakes:
• under pot plants and raised garden containers
• beneath sandstone blocks and retaining walls
• behind hot water systems and air conditioners
• inside garages behind stored boxes or shelves
• in garden sheds behind tools, lawn equipment, or bags of soil
• under timber, tiles, or old building materials
• inside roof cavities or wall gaps
• under decks, steps, and outdoor platforms
• in thick hedges, bamboo, or dense shrubs
• around pool filters and shaded corners
• along boundary fences or side pathways
• near compost heaps, mulch piles, and leaf litter
• under outdoor furniture, tarps, or shade cloth
• behind garden statues, water features, or rockeries
Once you call Urban Reptile Removal, you do not need to keep watching the snake. Snakes hide quickly and silently. Following them can cause the snake to move into deeper, more difficult places. A trained snake catcher knows the hiding patterns of each species and understands the search sequence needed to find them. We conduct a calm and careful inspection until the snake is located and removed safely.
Many Killara residents worry that if they see one snake, there must be more nearby. This is not true. 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 just one snake. Once removed, the problem is usually completely resolved.
After removal, we explain what attracted the snake and suggest simple changes that help reduce future sightings. You do not need powders, sprays, or ultrasonic devices. These products do not work. Effective prevention includes:
• mowing grass often
• trimming overgrown plants and hedges
• reducing leaf litter and old mulch
• storing scrap materials off the ground
• securing outdoor pet food
• organising sheds and storage areas
• sealing small gaps where possible
• removing unused timber, metal, and building materials
• clearing fence lines and pathways
• tidying garden beds
• removing debris from shaded corners
• reducing rodent activity
These changes reduce hiding places and food sources for prey animals, making your yard less attractive to snakes.
