Turramurra is a suburb with large gardens, deep shade, bush corridors, and old sandstone features that suit reptiles perfectly. But from here onward, this entry focuses mostly on the snakes themselves and the process of safe snake removal. People often assume snakes enter yards looking for trouble, when in reality snakes are simply responding to their natural instincts. They follow food sources, temperature changes, and movement pathways. Understanding the behaviour of the species seen in Turramurra helps residents feel more confident and prepared.
Snakes avoid humans whenever they can. They do not chase people, guard territories, or stalk pets. They simply move through the environment using the safest and quietest paths. They may cross a lawn, slip behind a shed, move through garden beds, or rest under warm surfaces. Snakes only become defensive when cornered or blocked. This is why chasing or attempting to trap a snake creates danger. A trained snake catcher is calm, patient, and skilled at locating the animal without provoking it.
Turramurra has consistent sightings of five main reptile species: golden crowned snake, red bellied black snake, diamond python, green tree snake, and blue tongued lizard. Each species behaves differently and needs a different approach for safe snake removal.
Golden crowned snakes are small, slender, nocturnal snakes with a pale yellow marking across the top of the head. Their underside is pink or reddish. Many residents confuse them with young brown snakes, but their behaviour is different. Golden crowned snakes hide under rocks, timber, mulch, and damp shaded corners. They prefer moisture and are often active after rain. Although they are venomous, their bites usually cause only mild local symptoms. They feed on small lizards, skink eggs, insects, and frogs. When disturbed, they rarely stand their ground and instead slip deeper into hiding. This makes them difficult to locate without experience.
Red bellied black snakes are well known in Turramurra. Their shiny black body and red or pink belly make them easy to identify. They are often found near damp gardens, drainage lines, frog habitats, and shaded vegetation. They bask in morning sunlight before moving into shade. They feed on frogs, skinks, fish, and small snakes. Although venomous, they are shy and try to escape if given the chance. If trapped or cornered, they may flatten their body or show defensive behaviour. Professional snake removal prevents unnecessary risk and ensures the animal is relocated safely.
Diamond pythons are large, gentle, non venomous snakes that are excellent climbers. They have patterned black and yellow scales that blend well with trees, fences, garden walls, and roof lines. Many Turramurra homes have roof cavities and structures that attract possums and rodents, which attract diamond pythons. These snakes may rest on verandas, gutters, rafters, retaining walls, or shaded corners. They are quiet and may remain in the same place for hours. Although harmless to humans, they are strong and require careful handling to avoid injury.
Green tree snakes are slim, very fast, and harmless. Their colours range from bright green to olive, grey, or almost black with a yellow underside. They have large eyes and excellent eyesight. When frightened, they flatten their bodies, showing flashes of pale blue between their scales. This can alarm residents unfamiliar with the species. They climb easily and often appear in hedges, trees, fences, pool areas, and garages. Their speed makes them difficult to track, and a trained snake catcher understands their typical pathways.
Blue tongued lizards are extremely common in Turramurra. These slow moving skinks are often mistaken for snakes because they rustle loudly through vegetation. When threatened, they puff up and display their bright blue tongue. They feed on snails, insects, fruit, vegetables, and leftover pet food. They hide under pot plants, garden equipment, timber piles, and warm surfaces. Urban Reptile Removal receives many calls about “a thick snake with a flat head,” which usually turns out to be a blue tongue.
Turramurra yards provide many hiding spots that snakes use throughout the year. During callouts, Urban Reptile Removal frequently finds snakes in the following areas:
behind hot water systems and air conditioners
under pot plants and raised tubs
inside garages behind stored boxes
beneath sandstone retaining walls
in roof cavities or wall gaps
inside sheds behind tools and equipment
under timber, tiles, or scrap materials
inside thick hedges or bamboo
near compost heaps and mulch piles
around pool pump equipment
behind garden ornaments or water features
along fence lines and shaded pathways
under decks and steps
inside shaded corners with leaf litter
Snakes hide silently and quickly. Following them or trying to trap them usually makes things worse. Once you call Urban Reptile Removal, you can move away and keep everyone safe indoors. A trained snake catcher uses species behaviour, time of day, temperature, and the layout of the property to perform a calm and structured search. Most snakes are found within a few metres of where they were last seen.
After removal, we explain why the snake was there and how to reduce future encounters. Powders, chemical repellents, and ultrasonic devices do not work. Real prevention is practical and effective. It includes mowing grass regularly, reducing leaf litter, trimming vegetation away from walls and fences, organising sheds and garages, storing timber off the ground, clearing pathways, reducing rodent activity, securing outdoor pet food, and removing unused building materials that create shelter.
If a snake enters your home in Turramurra, this becomes an emergency snake removal situation. Snakes can enter through open doors, sliding door gaps, holes near pipes, or garage openings. Urban Reptile Removal responds quickly and works calmly to remove the snake without panic.
