North Wahroonga is one of the leafiest suburbs on the Upper North Shore, with winding streets, large blocks, tall trees, established gardens, and direct access to Ku Ring Gai Chase National Park. Because so many homes in North Wahroonga back onto bushland, snake sightings are very common. Residents often see snakes on driveways, in garden beds, beside fences, under decks, inside garages, near pools, or moving through shaded areas along the side of the home. Urban Reptile Removal attends many snake removal jobs in North Wahroonga each year, especially during warm weather and after rain.
If you see a snake in North Wahroonga, the most important thing is to stay calm and move away. Do not try to take a photo or get close. Do not try to identify the snake yourself. Bring pets and children inside and call 0418 633 474 for fast snake removal. A trained snake catcher will explain exactly what to do while we are on the way. Snakes almost always move to the nearest hiding place, and we will find it when we arrive.
North Wahroonga is a suburb filled with wildlife because it sits directly against national park land. Many backyards have trees, garden beds, rock walls, ponds, shaded corners, and quiet sheltered areas that snakes use for warmth and safety. The most common reptiles seen in North Wahroonga are the golden crowned snake, red bellied black snake, diamond python, green tree snake, and blue tongued lizard. Each one uses the area differently depending on food, shade, water, and shelter.
One species often seen in North Wahroonga is the golden crowned snake. This small snake is active mostly at night. It has a pale yellow band on the top of its head and a pink or reddish belly. While it is venomous, it usually only causes local symptoms. Golden crowned snakes live in damp, shaded areas such as leaf litter, rockeries, and garden beds. Many residents confuse them with baby brown snakes because of their size. In a suburb with so much natural bush and moisture, golden crowned snakes can be found quite often.
The red bellied black snake is also common in North Wahroonga. This snake has a shiny black body and a bright red or pink underbelly. It is usually seen near water, wet gardens, creeks, and shaded parts of the yard. Red bellied black snakes are often found after rain or on warm days when they look for sun. They hunt for frogs and move between shaded and sunny surfaces. Although less defensive than brown snakes, they are still venomous and should never be approached. A trained snake catcher can remove them safely.
Diamond pythons are one of the largest reptiles found in North Wahroonga. These non venomous pythons live in trees, sheds, roof spaces, and gardens. They are calm and gentle but can grow very large. They are often seen curled on fences, resting on warm brick walls, or hidden in garden shrubs. Because North Wahroonga has many large homes built close to the national park, diamond pythons move freely through the suburb and are seen often during the warmer months. Even though they are not dangerous, they should still be removed by a professional due to their size and strength.
Another species commonly seen in North Wahroonga is the green tree snake. This non venomous snake is slim and fast. It may be bright green, olive, or dark grey with a yellow belly. Green tree snakes climb extremely well and are often found on fences, in bushes, behind garage walls, near pool areas, or in trees. When scared, they flatten their bodies to look larger, which can frighten people. They cannot hurt you, but they move quickly and can disappear into vegetation easily. A professional snake catcher can safely relocate them.
Blue tongued lizards are very common in North Wahroonga and are often mistaken for snakes. These large skinks move slowly and eat snails, insects, and fruit. They often hide under pot plants, sit in sunny spots, or explore garden beds. When frightened, they puff up and show their blue tongue, which can make people think they have seen a snake. Urban Reptile Removal never minds checking. It is always better to call if you are unsure.
North Wahroonga properties have many ideal snake hiding places due to the suburb’s connection to the national park. The most common places where snakes hide include:
• under retaining walls and rock edges
• behind hot water systems
• beside air conditioners
• inside garages behind stored items
• under pot plants
• inside thick hedges and shrubs
• beneath decks and steps
• along fence lines and building edges
• under pool equipment
• inside sheds, especially behind boxes
• beneath timber, tiles, or old materials
• around wheelie bin storage areas
When you call Urban Reptile Removal, you do not need to watch the snake or keep track of where it went. We search every likely hiding place until the snake is found.
Many residents want to know why snakes appear in North Wahroonga. The reason is simple: snakes follow food. The suburb has frogs, insects, rodents, skinks, and plenty of small prey animals. Snakes also use the natural bush corridors along the edge of the suburb to move between safe areas. Snakes do not target homes deliberately. They use the environment like any other native animal.
After removing the snake, we explain why it entered the area and what simple steps can reduce future sightings. You do not need sprays, powders, or devices. These do not work. Effective prevention includes:
• keeping grass short
• removing clutter from yards
• lifting stored items off the ground
• trimming overgrown plants
• controlling rodents
• keeping garden beds tidy
• removing old building materials
• sealing gaps where possible
• organising sheds and garages
These small changes reduce hiding spaces and remove the food sources that attract prey animals.
Some people worry that one snake means more are nearby. This is not true. Snakes do not live in groups, travel in pairs, or build nests in residential areas. One sighting almost always means one snake. Once relocated, the issue is usually resolved.
Snakes sometimes enter homes in North Wahroonga because many properties have open doors, older screens, or small gaps where rodents used to enter. Snakes may come inside through sliding door tracks, cracks near pipes, or unsealed entry points. Any snake inside a home is considered urgent. Urban Reptile Removal responds quickly to make the home safe.
