South Turramurra has bush corridors, deep gardens, and shaded pockets that reptiles use naturally. However, this entry focuses far less on the suburb and almost entirely on the reptiles themselves. The behaviour of snakes is predictable once you understand why they move, how they hide, and what attracts them to a property. Snakes do not come into a yard because they want to confront people. They avoid humans at every opportunity. They are driven by instinct, food availability, and shelter.
Snakes respond to the environment. They look for quiet areas with warmth or shade, depending on the temperature. They look for prey such as frogs, skinks, rodents, insects, and small birds. They use rock walls, timber piles, sheds, garden edges, and vegetation as movement pathways. When someone tries to trap or chase the snake, the animal reacts defensively and disappears into deeper hiding places. Calling a trained snake catcher prevents this problem and ensures a safe and professional snake removal process.
Five reptile species are commonly seen in South Turramurra: the golden crowned snake, red bellied black snake, diamond python, green tree snake, and blue tongued lizard. Each species has its own behaviour, preferred hiding places, and seasonal patterns.
Golden crowned snakes are small, slender, and active mostly at night. They have a pale yellow marking across the head and a pink or reddish underside. Many residents mistake them for juvenile brown snakes due to their size and colour. Although they are venomous, their bites usually cause only mild local symptoms. Golden crowned snakes hide in mulch beds, under garden edging, beneath rocks, behind timber, and in damp shaded corners. They feed on small lizards, eggs, insects, and frogs. After rain, they become more active and move quietly through gardens. Because they hide so well, they are difficult to locate without an experienced snake catcher.
Red bellied black snakes are another species often found in South Turramurra. Their glossy black body and bright red or pink belly make them easy to identify. They prefer moist environments and are frequently seen near shaded gardens, drainage lines, frog habitat zones, and areas with damp vegetation. They feed on frogs, small snakes, skinks, and fish. They may bask in morning sunlight and then retreat to shade during the day. Although venomous, they are shy and usually try to escape. When cornered, they may hiss or flatten their body. Professional snake removal prevents risk to both the snake and the resident.
Diamond pythons are large, gentle, non venomous snakes that are common in South Turramurra due to the abundance of trees, roof spaces, and small mammals. They have distinctive black and yellow patterns that help them blend with natural structures. Diamond pythons often rest on verandas, under eaves, along fence tops, inside roof cavities, or behind garages. They feed on rats and possums, making them beneficial for controlling rodents. Although harmless to humans, they are strong and require professional handling to avoid injury to themselves or others.
Green tree snakes are fast moving, slim, and harmless. They can be bright green, olive, grey, or almost black, with a yellow underside. They have large eyes and excellent vision. When frightened, they flatten their bodies to appear wider, showing flashes of blue between the scales. They climb extremely well and often appear in hedges, fences, garages, pool areas, and roof edges. They hunt frogs and skinks. Because they move quickly, residents often lose sight of them. A trained snake catcher understands their movement patterns and the common hiding areas they prefer.
Blue tongued lizards are widespread throughout South Turramurra. These slow moving skinks are often mistaken for snakes because they rustle loudly through leaf litter. They have a bright blue tongue used as a defensive display. Blue tongues hide under pot plants, timber piles, garden tools, outdoor furniture, or warm surfaces. They feed on insects, snails, slugs, fruit, and leftover pet food. Many residents call Urban Reptile Removal thinking a snake is present, only to find a blue tongue. We are always happy to check.
South Turramurra yards have many ideal hiding places for reptiles. During snake removal callouts, Urban Reptile Removal often finds snakes in the following locations:
behind hot water systems and air conditioners
under pot plants and raised garden containers
inside garages behind shelves or storage boxes
beneath sandstone blocks and retaining walls
in roof cavities or wall gaps
inside sheds behind tools or bags of soil
under timber, tiles, or scrap building materials
in thick hedges and dense shrubs
around pool pump equipment
inside compost heaps and mulch piles
behind garden ornaments and water features
along fence lines and narrow side passages
under outdoor furniture or tarps
beneath decks, stairs, and raised garden platforms
Once you call Urban Reptile Removal, there is no need to follow the snake. Snakes hide silently and quickly. Following them usually makes removal harder, as it drives them into deeper hiding spots. A trained snake catcher uses species knowledge, time of day, temperature, and yard layout to perform a calm and structured search. Most snakes are located within a short distance of where they were last seen.
After removing the snake, we explain why it was there and what can be done to reduce future sightings. Powders, sprays, and ultrasonic devices do not work. Effective prevention is practical and based on reducing food sources and hiding places. This includes mowing grass regularly, trimming vegetation away from walls, storing timber off the ground, organising sheds and garages, reducing leaf litter, securing outdoor pet food, managing rodents, clearing pathways, and removing unused building materials.
If a snake enters your home, it becomes an emergency snake removal situation. Snakes may enter through open doors, sliding door gaps, holes near pipes, or open garages. Urban Reptile Removal responds quickly and calmly to secure the home and remove the snake safely.
