Northbridge: A Hotspot for Snake Movement
Northbridge sits between major wildlife corridors that connect the Lower North Shore directly to Middle Harbour. These natural pathways channel all kinds of wildlife — lizards, rodents, frogs, and birds — and snakes simply follow their food. The combination of leafy blocks, warm sandstone, garden edges, shaded retaining walls, and older houses provides endless hiding spots for reptiles.
But the important point is this:
You don’t need bushland at your back fence to attract a snake. You only need food, water, warmth, or shelter.
If your garden contains any of those — and almost every garden does — then snake movement is inevitable. That’s why Urban Reptile Removal attends Northbridge so often during the hotter months.
Whenever you see a snake, do not wait.

Understanding the Snakes of Northbridge
Northbridge has all the major Sydney species. Some are venomous, some harmless, some large, some fast — but all require experienced handling.
Below are the five most common species we relocate in Northbridge, explained in clear terms so you know what to expect and how to respond.
Red-Bellied Black Snake
Red-bellied black snakes are sleek, shiny black with a bright red underbelly. They love moisture, shade, lawn edges, drains, and garden beds. They chase frogs, skinks, and sometimes small mammals.
Characteristics:
• Venomous
• Usually shy but will defend itself
• Often found near water features, shaded gardens, and cool corners
• Common along the North Shore due to deep gullies and moist landscapes
If you see a red-bellied black snake, do not try to move it on.
Keep your distance and call Urban Reptile Removal.
Eastern Brown Snake
Extremely venomous, extremely fast, and extremely alert. Eastern brown snakes follow rodents, so if you have compost, chicken food, bird seed, dog food, or clutter, you may inadvertently attract mice — and snakes along with them.
Key points:
• Second most venomous snake on earth
• Fast and defensive if threatened
• Colour varies from pale tan to chocolate brown
• Frequently mistaken identity with golden crown snakes or young black snake variants
If you suspect an eastern brown snake is on your property, step back slowly, clear the area, and call immediately.
Urban Reptile Removal will attend urgently and safely.
Golden Crown Snake
A small, secretive snake with a pale golden band across its head. Golden crown snakes are often discovered under pot plants, in leaf litter, in mulch piles, or under garden equipment.
Important details:
• Not dangerous but will bite if handled
• Often mistaken for baby brown snakes
• A sign of healthy gardens and strong insect activity
• Appears during gardening, mulching, or property clean-ups
Never pick these up. Leave them where they are and let us relocate them safely.
Green Tree Snake
Harmless, fast-moving, bright green or blue-green in colour. Known for startling people because of their speed.
Behaviour:
• Climbs well
• Squeezes through tiny gaps
• Often crosses fences or rooflines
• Sometimes enters homes through open windows
• Completely non-venomous
If one ends up in your house, laundry, garage, or bathroom, stay calm.
Urban Reptile Removal handles these quickly and gently.
Diamond Python
A large, slow-moving, non-venomous snake with yellow-and-black diamond patterns. Pythons are vital for rodent control, but their size often surprises homeowners.
About diamond pythons:
• Common across the North Shore
• Excellent climbers
• Frequently found on warm roofs, fences, or rock walls
• Calm nature but intimidating due to size
• Often move through properties at night following rodents
We can relocate any python safely and legally if it’s somewhere you don’t want it.
Why Northbridge Properties Attract Snakes
Instead of diving deep into street-by-street details, here are the real reasons snakes show up in Northbridge:
1. Rodents
If mice or rats are present, so are snakes. Rodent activity is the number one attractant for brown snakes and pythons.
2. Water
Northbridge gardens often contain:
• Bird baths
• Pet bowls
• Drains
• Outdoor taps
• Pond edges
• Moist soil
Water attracts both prey animals and snakes.
3. Warm Surfaces
Snakes regularly use:
• Driveways
• Pavers
• Rock walls
• Timber decks
• Barbeque areas
• Garden edges
• Steps and pathways
These surfaces retain heat and draw snakes from nearby bushland.
4. Shelter
Common hiding areas include:
• Gaps under houses
• Retaining walls
• Timber piles
• Garden clutter
• Pool-filter boxes
• Behind hot water systems
• Beneath sheds
Snakes don’t seek houses — they seek the structures around them.
Whenever you see a snake or signs of snake activity, call Urban Reptile Removal for immediate help.
What To Do If You See a Snake in Northbridge
This part should always be simple, direct, and repeated:
• Stand back
• Move pets indoors
• Do not approach
• Do not try to kill or capture it
• Do not take close photos
• Keep children away
• Keep eyes on it from a distance
• Call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474
Snake behaviour becomes unpredictable when the animal feels threatened. Professional relocation is the only safe option.
