Rydalmere is a diverse riverside suburb with a mixture of family homes, units, new developments, industrial areas, university buildings, creeks, bike paths, and large open parks. Its position along the Parramatta River, combined with its network of drainage lines, grassy corridors, shaded footpaths, and quiet residential pockets, makes Rydalmere a regular movement zone for snakes. Every year, residents see snakes in gardens, beside driveways, beneath sheds, near the riverbank, along fences, under retaining walls, and around industrial lots. Urban Reptile Removal responds to many snake callouts in Rydalmere, particularly during spring, summer, and early autumn.
If you encounter a snake in Rydalmere, the safest action is to step away, bring children and pets indoors, and call 0418 633 474 for fast and professional SnakeRemoval. You do not need to take a photo or try to identify the species. You do not need to follow the snake or keep watching it. Snakes almost always retreat to the nearest hiding place, and a trained SnakeCatcher will locate it once we arrive. We guide you step by step on what to do while we travel to your property.
Rydalmere’s landscape includes older timber cottages, brick houses, apartment blocks, industrial warehouses, new townhouses, grassy fields, the Western Sydney University campus, and several creek systems. This variety of environments makes it a prime location for wildlife movement, including some of Sydney’s most common reptile species. The snakes most frequently seen in Rydalmere include the Eastern brown snake, red-bellied black snake, golden crowned snake, diamond python, and the well known blue-tongued lizard.
The Eastern brown snake is one of the most commonly removed species in Rydalmere. This dangerously venomous and very fast species thrives in areas with high rodent activity, warm concrete, older fences, sheds, and abundant hiding places. Eastern brown snakes are often seen crossing driveways, slipping under garden edging, travelling along flowerbeds, or disappearing into gaps beneath structures. Because of their speed and defensive behaviour, brown snakes should never be approached or cornered. If you see one in Rydalmere, call 0418 633 474 immediately for EmergencySnakeRemoval.
Red-bellied black snakes are also regularly encountered in Rydalmere, especially around the Parramatta River, Subiaco Creek, the university grounds, and shaded gardens with moisture. These snakes are distinctive with their glossy black bodies and red or pinkish underbellies. They are often seen basking near water, moving along drainage channels, hunting in gardens after rain, or crossing open grass in warm weather. They are less defensive than brown snakes but still venomous, and should only be handled by a trained SnakeCatcher.
Another species commonly seen in Rydalmere is the golden crowned snake. This small, nocturnal species has a pale crown-like marking across the head and a pink or reddish belly. Although venomous, golden crowned snakes typically produce only local symptoms. They are often found in leaf litter, rockeries, under pot plants, or near creek lines during warm humid nights. Many residents mistake them for juvenile brown snakes because of their small size and quick movements. Urban Reptile Removal can identify and relocate them safely.
Rydalmere also supports a healthy population of diamond pythons. These large, non venomous snakes are gentle by nature but can be intimidating due to their size. Diamond pythons are excellent climbers and are frequently seen resting in roof spaces, wrapped around rafters, curled up on verandas, stretched across fences, or hiding in sheds. They play an important role in controlling possum populations but can be difficult for homeowners to remove safely. Urban Reptile Removal relocates many diamond pythons each season, especially during spring and summer.
The blue-tongued lizard is one of the most frequently misidentified reptiles in Rydalmere. Blue-tongues are harmless and slow moving. They feed on snails, fruit, insects, and backyard pests. They often bask near garden beds, rest under pot plants, or explore veggie gardens. When frightened, they puff up, hiss, and show their bright blue tongue, which leads many residents to believe they have seen a venomous snake. We never mind checking and are always happy to attend if you are unsure.
The wide range of gardens, riverfront edges, warehouse lots, sheds, industrial yards, and bush pockets in Rydalmere provide numerous hiding places for snakes. The most common hiding locations we search include:
• under sandstone blocks, retaining walls, or garden edging
• behind hot water systems and air-conditioning units
• inside garages behind stored items
• under pot plants, sleeper gardens, or raised soil beds
• inside thick shrubs, hedges, and leafy gardens
• under sheds, decks, or outdoor storage units
• beside fences, paving, or outdoor steps
• around workshop equipment in industrial lots
• under piles of timber, metal, tiles, or stored building materials
• inside wheelie bin storage areas
• beneath childrens play equipment
When you call Urban Reptile Removal, you do not need to stay outside and watch the snake. We will systematically search all likely hiding spots until the snake is located and removed.
Residents often ask why snakes appear on their property. The explanation is straightforward: snakes follow food. Rydalmere has strong populations of frogs, insects, lizards, and especially rodents due to its mix of residential, commercial, and industrial zones. The riverfront and creek systems also provide ideal travel corridors for wildlife. Snakes are not targeting homes or people. They simply move through the environment as part of their natural behaviour.
After the snake is removed, we provide practical advice that actually works. You do not need ultrasonic devices, powders, or chemical snake repellents. These products do not work. Instead, focus on simple outdoor maintenance:
• keep grass short
• reduce clutter and remove stored materials from ground level
• lift items such as timber and tools onto shelves
• tidy gardens and reduce thick vegetation
• secure outdoor pet food to discourage rodents
• control rodent activity around sheds and houses
• trim hedges and prevent garden overgrowth
• remove unused building materials
• maintain clear spaces beside fences and walls
• keep sheds organised and free from piles of debris
These changes reduce the availability of hiding places and food sources, making your yard less attractive to both prey and predators.
Many people worry that one snake sighting means there are many others nearby. Snakes do not travel in pairs, do not live in groups, and do not build nests in suburban yards. In almost all cases, one sighting means one snake. Once that animal is relocated, the situation is usually resolved.
Snakes do occasionally enter homes in Rydalmere, especially older houses with gaps beneath doors, damaged flyscreens, sliding door track openings, or small structural gaps. Homes near the river or creek can have increased wildlife movement. Snakes may enter through open doors, rodent holes, gaps around pipes, or ventilation openings. Any snake inside a home is treated as an urgent callout.
Residents choose Urban Reptile Removal because we are calm, respectful, and professional. We do not judge the condition of your property. We do not create panic or exaggerate the situation. We simply remove the snake, explain why it was there, and provide practical advice that is easy to follow. If you hear strange noises, see unexpected movement in the garden, notice your dog reacting, or feel unsure about whether a reptile is dangerous, call 0418 633 474 and we will help.
