Snake Catcher NORTH ROCKS — Urban Reptile Removal 0418 633 474
North Rocks is a suburb where bushland, parks, creeks, and quiet residential streets meet. With long garden beds, older homes, established trees, sandstone edges, steep slopes, retaining walls, and large backyards, it is an area where snakes naturally move through. Many homes back onto reserve land, creeks, or green corridors, which means wildlife frequently passes between bush and suburb. Because of this, Urban Reptile Removal attends many snake callouts in North Rocks every year, especially during the warmer months.
If you see a snake in North Rocks, you do not need to go close, take a photo, or try to identify it. The safest thing to do is step away, bring pets and children indoors, and call 0418 633 474 for fast and reliable SnakeRemoval. You do not need to keep your eye on the snake or follow where it goes. A trained SnakeCatcher will talk you through what to do while we are on the way, and we will locate the snake once we arrive.
North Rocks sits beside major bushland areas including Bidjigal Reserve, Muirfield Golf Course corridors, Darling Mills Creek, and various walking tracks. These natural spaces hold strong populations of reptiles, including the Eastern brown snake, red-bellied black snake, golden crowned snake, diamond python, and the common blue-tongued lizard. These species regularly travel between food, water, shelter, and warmth, so it is normal for residents to see them in gardens, along fences, under outdoor items, or crossing driveways.
The Eastern brown snake is one of the most commonly removed snakes in North Rocks. Highly venomous and extremely fast, brown snakes thrive in suburbs with older fences, warm concrete, high rodent activity, sunny yards, and quiet hiding places. People often see brown snakes moving along retaining walls, slipping under garden edges, crossing sandstone paths, or disappearing into gaps around sheds. Because of their defensive behaviour and speed, homeowners should never attempt to confront or chase them. If an Eastern brown snake is seen in North Rocks, call 0418 633 474 immediately for professional EmergencySnakeRemoval.
Red-bellied black snakes are also common in North Rocks, particularly along Darling Mills Creek, shaded gullies, wet garden areas, frog-rich backyards, and places where water collects. They have glossy black bodies with bright red or pinkish bellies. Red-bellies are less defensive than brown snakes but are still venomous and must be treated with caution. They are frequently seen basking near rocks, travelling along drainage lines, hunting in gardens, or crossing open grass during warmer parts of the day. Many sightings occur after periods of rain.
Another species often encountered in North Rocks is the golden crowned snake. This is a small to medium-sized, nocturnal snake with a yellowish band across its head and neck, and a pink to red belly. Though venomous, it normally causes only local symptoms and is not regarded as dangerous to adults. Residents often see golden crowned snakes on damp nights, near leaf litter, garden edges, timber piles, or pathways after rain. Many mistake them for juvenile brown snakes, which leads to understandable concern. A trained SnakeCatcher can confirm the species and remove it safely if required.
North Rocks also supports diamond pythons, a harmless and non-venomous species that commonly appears near homes. Diamond pythons climb extremely well and often rest in roof spaces, on verandas, across beams, or in sheds. They also curl up beneath warm outdoor structures or along sunny rock walls. While they pose no risk to people or pets, they can be difficult for homeowners to remove safely due to their size and strength. Urban Reptile Removal attends many python callouts each season to relocate these gentle giants back into suitable bushland.
Blue-tongued lizards are one of the most commonly misidentified animals in North Rocks. These slow-moving skinks are helpful backyard residents that feed on snails, insects, and fruit. They often bask near garden beds, hide under pot plants, or explore leaf litter in search of food. When frightened, they hiss, puff up, and show their blue tongue. Because of this defensive posture, many people think they have seen a snake. We receive frequent calls about blue-tongued lizards, and we always welcome checking. It is far better to call a professional SnakeCatcher than to assume.
North Rocks has many large gardens, sloped yards, older sheds, timber stacks, sandstone edges, and long fencelines. These features create natural hiding places for snakes. People often discover them while gardening, cleaning around outdoor areas, moving tools, or tending to plants. Common hiding locations in North Rocks include:
• under sandstone blocks or retaining walls
• behind air-conditioning units
• inside garages along the walls
• beneath garden edging or loose bricks
• under pot plants or raised garden beds
• within thick shrubs or hedges
• under sheds, decks, or storage units
• around rockeries, ponds, and water features
• beside pool pumps
• inside wheelie bin storage areas
• under timber, tiles, or metal sheets
Snakes rarely travel far once they settle. When you call Urban Reptile Removal, you do not need to keep your eye on the snake. We will locate it for you, using training, experience, and systematic searching.
Many residents want to know why a snake came into their garden. The answer is usually simple: snakes follow food. North Rocks has healthy populations of frogs, skinks, insects, possums, and particularly rodents. When prey animals move through a yard, snakes naturally follow. Snakes are not trying to access homes or target people. They are simply using the environment like any other wildlife.
Once the snake is removed, we provide practical advice to reduce future sightings. You do not need ultrasonic devices or chemical repellents. These do not work. What does work is straightforward maintenance:
• keep grass short
• reduce clutter and stored materials
• lift items such as timber or pots off the ground
• trim heavy shrubs and remove thick leaf litter
• secure outdoor pet food overnight
• control rodent activity
• maintain tidy garden beds
• remove old building materials
• clear tight spaces around fences and walls
These changes reduce hunting areas, hiding spots, and the presence of prey animals.
Some homeowners worry that seeing one snake means there are many nearby. Snakes do not live in pairs, do not form groups, and do not build nests in suburban backyards. One sighting almost always means one snake. Once that individual is removed, the issue is typically resolved.
Snakes occasionally enter homes in North Rocks, especially older houses with structural gaps, properties near bushland, or homes with rodent activity. Snakes may enter through open doors, sliding track gaps, damaged screens, ventilation holes, or spaces under the house. Any snake inside a home is considered an urgent callout, and we respond quickly.
Residents choose Urban Reptile Removal because we work calmly, professionally, and without judgement. We do not panic or make the situation bigger than it needs to be.
