Pymble has leafy streets, established gardens, older homes with deep yards, and constant movement of wildlife. These conditions allow snakes to use natural corridors through the suburb, especially in warm months from spring to late autumn. Residents often report snakes around garden beds, rock walls, sheds, garages, and shaded corners. But from here onward, the focus is on the snakes themselves — how they behave, why they appear, and how professional snake removal keeps everyone safe.
Snakes come onto properties in Pymble for simple natural reasons. They look for food, warmth, shade, and quiet places to rest. They follow prey such as skinks, frogs, rodents, insects, and small birds. They avoid humans whenever possible. Snakes are not aggressive by nature. They only show defensive behaviour when cornered or threatened. When someone tries to chase or trap a snake, the animal becomes frightened and moves into deeper hiding spots, making removal more difficult. Calling Urban Reptile Removal ensures safe snake removal with minimal disturbance.
Five key reptile species are commonly seen in Pymble: the golden crowned snake, red bellied black snake, diamond python, green tree snake, and blue tongued lizard. Understanding these species makes snake encounters far less stressful.
Golden Crowned Snake
Golden crowned snakes are small, nocturnal snakes with a pale yellow marking across the top of the head. Their underside is pink or reddish. Many residents mistake them for baby brown snakes because of their size, but their behaviour is very different. Although they are venomous, their bites usually cause only local symptoms.
Golden crowned snakes prefer damp, cool hiding places, which are common in Pymble gardens. They hide:
• under rocks
• beneath garden edging
• inside mulch
• under timber piles
• in leaf litter
• behind sandstone blocks
After rain, they become more active and may cross footpaths, driveways, or garden beds. Their quick, darting movements alarm residents, but they rarely stand their ground. A trained snake catcher knows exactly where these snakes hide and how to safely remove them.
Their diet includes small lizards, skink eggs, insects, and frogs. Their movement through a property usually means a food source is nearby.
Red Bellied Black Snake
Red bellied black snakes are one of the most recognised species in Sydney. Their glossy black body and bright red or pink belly make them easy to identify. They prefer moist environments and are frequently found near:
• drainage lines
• areas with ferns and shade
• frog habitats
• moist leaf litter
• wet garden beds
Pymble has many of these habitats, especially around older gardens and shaded yards. Red bellied blacks are shy and try to escape when disturbed. They may flatten their body or hiss if blocked, but this is defensive only.
They feed on frogs, skinks, small snakes, and sometimes fish. They are excellent swimmers and may move along stormwater paths or damp gullies. Because they can be unpredictable when frightened, professional snake removal is essential for safety.
Diamond Python
Diamond pythons are common in Pymble due to large blocks, roof spaces, possum activity, and abundant trees. These pythons are gentle, non venomous, and excellent climbers. Their patterned black and yellow scales blend perfectly with tree branches, fences, and roofs.
They are often found:
• inside roof cavities
• along fences
• on verandas
• behind garages
• curled on warm retaining walls
• in sheds or shaded structures
Diamond pythons feed on rats and possums. Their presence usually indicates rodent activity around the property. They move silently and can remain in the same position for long periods, which means residents often do not see them until they move suddenly.
Although harmless to humans, they are large and strong. Professional snake removal prevents injury to both the snake and anyone attempting to handle it.
Green Tree Snake
Green tree snakes are slender, fast moving, and harmless. They can be bright green, olive, grey, or very dark, with a yellow or cream underside. They have large eyes and excellent daytime vision. When alarmed, they widen their ribs slightly, showing flashes of pale blue between the scales, which can startle residents.
These snakes often appear:
• in hedges
• on fences
• near pool areas
• inside garages
• on garden walls
• around roof edges
• in dense vegetation
They hunt frogs, skinks, and small fish. Because they move quickly and climb easily, most residents lose sight of them within seconds. A trained snake catcher understands their movement patterns and searches accordingly.
Blue Tongued Lizard
Blue tongued lizards are extremely common in Pymble. They are often mistaken for snakes because they move low to the ground and make rustling sounds in leaf litter. These slow moving skinks are harmless and beneficial, feeding on insects, snails, slugs, fruit, and leftover pet food.
They hide:
• under pot plants
• beneath timber
• inside garden equipment areas
• behind outdoor storage
• under decks
• near sheds
• in warm sunny corners
When frightened, they puff up and show their blue tongue. Urban Reptile Removal receives many calls about “a thick snake with a flat head” which turns out to be a blue tongue. We are always happy to check.
Where Snakes Hide in Pymble
Urban Reptile Removal frequently finds snakes in the following locations during callouts:
• behind hot water systems
• under pot plants or raised tubs
• behind air conditioners
• beneath sandstone retaining walls
• inside garages behind shelves or boxes
• in roof cavities and wall gaps
• in garden sheds behind tools or storage
• under timber, tiles, or scrap materials
• in thick hedges, bamboo, and ground covers
• around pool pump equipment
• inside compost heaps or mulch piles
• along fence lines and side passages
• under decks, steps, or outdoor platforms
Once you call, you do not need to follow the snake. This often makes removal harder. Snakes hide silently, and trained snake catchers follow a structured search method based on species, temperature, time of day, and hiding spot patterns.
Prevention That Works
Effective long term prevention includes:
• mowing grass often
• trimming vegetation along walls and fences
• removing leaf litter and old mulch
• reducing rodent activity
• securing outdoor pet food
• organising storage in sheds and garages
• removing old building materials
• reducing clutter around shaded corners
• storing timber off the ground
• keeping pathways and fence lines clear
No powders, sprays, granules, or ultrasonic devices work. Real prevention is based on reducing food sources and hiding places.
