Snakes move frequently through Pennant Hills, especially during spring, summer, and warm autumn days. Many residents see snakes in garden beds, along fences, inside garages, near sheds, beneath pot plants, around rock walls, or crossing driveways. The Hornsby Shire portion of Pennant Hills includes bush connected streets, older gardens, steep blocks, and wildlife corridors that snakes use naturally. Urban Reptile Removal attends many snake removal callouts in Pennant Hills each year, and we understand how snakes behave in suburban environments.
Snakes do not approach homes to cause harm. They follow food sources and safe movement paths. Most snakes avoid people completely and will escape if they are given space. Problems happen when someone tries to chase, catch, trap, or corner the snake. This often forces the animal to hide deeper in the yard or inside structures where it becomes harder to find. Calling a trained snake catcher is the safest option. We understand snake behaviour, know the hiding places snakes choose in Pennant Hills, and can remove them safely and calmly. With emergency snake removal available every day, help is always close.
Pennant Hills has ideal conditions for reptiles. The mix of established gardens, tree canopy, mulch beds, sandstone features, shaded corners, and bush corridors provides food, shelter, and warmth. Snakes follow prey such as frogs, skinks, insects, rodents, and small birds. The most common species we encounter in Pennant Hills include the golden crowned snake, red bellied black snake, diamond python, green tree snake, and blue tongued lizard. Each species behaves differently and uses the suburb in unique ways.
Golden crowned snakes are often seen in the area. These small nocturnal snakes have a pale yellow marking across the top of the head and the nape, and a pink or reddish underside. They are venomous but usually cause only mild symptoms. Because they are small, residents sometimes mistake them for baby brown snakes. Golden crowned snakes hide beneath garden edging, in mulch beds, under loose rocks, and inside damp shaded corners. They are active after rain or on warm humid nights.
Red bellied black snakes are also common in Pennant Hills. These snakes have a shiny black upper body and a bright red or pink belly. They prefer moisture, shade, and cool areas. They are often seen near drainage lines, shady gardens, frog friendly areas, and damp corners of the yard. After rain, they may bask in open sunny patches to warm themselves. Although red bellied black snakes are shy, they are venomous and should only be handled by a trained snake catcher.
Diamond pythons are one of the largest native reptiles found in Pennant Hills. These non venomous snakes are gentle but strong, and they climb well. Their patterned black and yellow scales help them disappear into natural surroundings such as trees, fences, sheds, and rooflines. Diamond pythons may enter roof cavities, curl up inside garages, rest along rafters, or lie on warm brick paths or retaining walls. They help control rodents but should still be moved by a professional due to their size.
Green tree snakes are another commonly seen species. These slim, fast moving, non venomous snakes can be bright green, olive, or dark grey with a yellow underside. They climb extremely well and may appear in hedges, along fences, inside garages, behind pool equipment, or high in trees. When frightened, they flatten their bodies to look larger, which can scare residents. They cannot harm people but are very fast and difficult to catch. A trained snake catcher can remove them safely.
Blue tongued lizards are common throughout Pennant Hills and are often mistaken for snakes. These large skinks move slowly and feed on snails, insects, fruit, and leftover pet food. They often hide beneath timber, pot plants, garden tools, leaf piles, or old building materials. When frightened, they puff up and show their bright blue tongue. Urban Reptile Removal receives many calls where residents believe they have seen a snake but are relieved to learn it is a blue tongued lizard. We always prefer people call if they are unsure.
Pennant Hills properties offer many hiding places for snakes due to the area’s gardens, trees, and older outdoor structures. During snake removal callouts, we regularly find snakes hiding:
• under pot plants and raised garden beds
• beneath sandstone blocks and retaining walls
• behind air conditioners and hot water systems
• inside garages behind storage shelves
• beneath timber, tiles, scrap, or building materials
• in sheds behind boxes or tools
• inside roof spaces or wall cavities
• beneath decks, stairs, and outdoor platforms
• in thick shrubs, hedges, or overgrown garden beds
• around pool equipment and shaded corners
• along fence lines and boundary edges
• near compost heaps or leaf piles
• inside gaps created by rodents
• under garden edging or loose stones
Once you call Urban Reptile Removal, you do not need to keep watching the snake. Snakes move quickly and hide silently. Following them can put you at risk. A trained snake catcher knows how each species behaves and knows which areas to check first. We search carefully until the snake is found and removed safely.
Many Pennant Hills residents worry that one snake means there are many more nearby. This is a common myth. 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 relocated, the issue is normally resolved.
After we remove the snake, we explain what attracted it and how to reduce future sightings. Snake repellents, powders, sprays, and ultrasonic devices do not work. Effective prevention includes:
• mowing grass regularly
• trimming hedges and clearing overgrown plants
• reducing leaf litter and old mulch
• storing scrap materials off the ground
• managing rodents
• keeping pet food indoors
• clearing fence lines and pathways
• organising garages and sheds
• lifting stored items off the ground
• sealing small gaps where possible
• removing unused materials
• keeping garden beds tidy
These steps reduce hiding places and limit the food sources that attract prey animals.
Snakes sometimes enter homes in Pennant Hills through sliding door gaps, cracks near pipes, open garages, or worn weather strips. Any snake inside a home is treated as an emergency snake removal situation. Urban Reptile Removal responds quickly to secure the house and remove the snake safely.
