Turramurra: Urban Reptile & Snake Removal  Turramurra Call Now 0418 633 474

If you see a snake anywhere in Turramurra, call Urban Reptile Removal immediately on 0418 633 474. Snakes move constantly across the Upper North Shore, and Turramurra is one of the most active suburbs due to its large, shady blocks, moisture-rich gardens, sandstone features, and long-running wildlife corridors. A snake can appear on your lawn, in your garage, under your deck, near the pool equipment, inside the home, or even coiled behind garden clutter — often without any warning.

Urban Reptile Removal is recognised as the number one Sydney snake catcher, carrying out more snake removals across the Greater Sydney region than any other service. We specialise in fast, calm, safe and highly professional snake handling. When a snake appears in Turramurra, we know the terrain, the behaviour patterns, the hiding places and the species that move most frequently through the area. Residents rely on our expertise because snakes can be unpredictable when disturbed, and professional removal is the only safe option.

If a snake is on your property, do not attempt to move it, scare it off or trap it. Snakes react defensively when pressured, and even harmless species can cause panic when approached. Call 0418 633 474 and let an experienced professional handle it.

Why Snakes Are So Common in Turramurra

Turramurra has ideal conditions for snakes because it provides a perfect balance of:

• Shade
• Water
• Warm, sun-exposed surfaces
• Cool hiding spots
• Dense planting
• Native wildlife
• Rodent activity
• Moist soil
• Retaining walls and gaps
• Older homes with under-floor access

Snakes do not hunt out suburbs — they hunt out micro-environments. Turramurra’s deep gardens, scattered moisture, sandstone edges and well-established vegetation give snakes ample places to move unseen. Most residents only notice a snake when it comes out to bask or crosses open ground.

Snake sightings increase during:

• Rapid temperature rises
• Warm mornings after cool nights
• After rainfall
• During high rodent activity
• In spring during mating season
• Through summer as temperatures peak
• In autumn as snakes feed before cooler months

Even in winter, diamond pythons and green tree snakes may appear on sunny days, using warm surfaces to regulate their body temperature.

If You See a Snake in Turramurra — Follow These Steps

Your safety depends on your first reaction. The correct response is simple:

• Stop and step back slowly
• Bring pets inside immediately
• Keep children clear of the area
• Do not try to move, chase, scare or block the snake
• Do not throw objects or spray water
• Do not try to trap the snake
• Do not attempt DIY removal
• Keep eyes on it from a safe distance
• Call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474

This prevents accidental bites, keeps the snake calm and ensures an efficient removal once we arrive.

Snake Species Frequently Found in Turramurra

Turramurra has every major snake species found across Sydney. Some are venomous, some harmless but fast-moving, and some large and intimidating. Urban Reptile Removal handles all species professionally and safely.

Here are the five most common species in the area:

Red-Bellied Black Snake

A glossy black snake with a vivid red or crimson belly. Prefers cool, damp environments and areas with frogs, lizards and shaded moisture.

Key traits:
• Venomous
• Common in shaded gardens, drains, pond edges and damp soil
• Usually shy but dangerous if cornered
• Often seen basking quietly near cool, sheltered garden edges

If you see one, keep your distance and call Urban Reptile Removal.

Eastern Brown Snake

One of the most medically significant snakes in the world. Fast, alert, and highly defensive if threatened. Attracted strongly to rodents.

Important information:
• Extremely venomous
• Moves quickly and unpredictably
• Often hides under edging, steps, garden tools, and narrow warm gaps
• Activity spikes when rodents are abundant

If you suspect a brown snake, do not risk approaching it. Step back and call immediately — we treat brown snake sightings as urgent.

Golden Crown Snake

A small, secretive species with a distinct golden band across the head. Frequently uncovered during gardening.

More details:
• Not dangerous
• Lives in leaf litter, mulch, compost and damp soil
• Often mistaken for a baby brown snake
• May bite defensively if handled

If you uncover one, do not pick it up. Call us for safe identification and relocation.

Green Tree Snake

A harmless, fast-moving, brightly coloured snake common in leafy suburbs like Turramurra.

Behaviour:
• Completely non-venomous
• Climbs extremely well
• Often found on fences, pergolas, outdoor furniture and roof gutters
• Sometimes enters homes through open doors or windows
• Moves quickly and can startle people

If a green tree snake ends up indoors or stuck in tight spaces, we can remove it safely.

Diamond Python

A large, slow-moving python with yellow-and-black diamond patterns. Excellent at controlling rodents and completely non-venomous.

Key behaviour:
• Frequently seen on roofs, fences, garden walls and warm surfaces
• Often hides in roof cavities
• Moves silently at night following rodent scent trails
• Calm but intimidating due to size

If a python is in an unsuitable or uncomfortable place, Urban Reptile Removal can relocate it gently.

What Attracts Snakes to Turramurra Homes

Snake appearances almost always come down to simple environmental factors:

1. Rodents

Rodents are the number one cause of snake activity. If you have mice, you will eventually have pythons or brown snakes.

2. Water

Snakes rely heavily on moisture. Attractants include:

• Bird baths
• Pond edges
• Irrigation
• Overflow trays
• Dripping taps
• Wet soil
• Compost and mulch
• Pet water bowls

3. Warmth

Snakes regulate body temperature using heat-storing materials such as:

• Driveways
• Stone steps
• Pavers
• Sandstone walls
• Brick edges
• Timber decks
• Roof sheeting

4. Shelter

Snakes hide in:

• Under-house voids
• Deck cavities
• Retaining walls
• Sheds
• Pool filter boxes
• Dense planting
• Timber piles
• Rock crevices

Any protected, quiet, cool space becomes a potential resting point.

These attractants exist across almost all Turramurra properties — which is why snakes are such regular visitors.

Seasonal Snake Patterns in Turramurra

Understanding seasonal behaviour helps residents know what to expect:

Spring
• Snakes emerge
• Mating season begins
• Activity rises sharply
• High garden movement

Summer
• Peak snake season
• Snakes move constantly between shade and sun
• Most driveway and lawn sightings occur now

Autumn
• Snakes feed heavily before cooler weather
• Warm spells trigger sudden movement

Winter
• Lower activity
• Pythons and tree snakes still appear on warm days

This cycle repeats yearly, and snake sightings continue to rise as gardens become greener.
