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

If you see a snake anywhere in Warrawee, call Urban Reptile Removal immediately on 0418 633 474. Snakes move constantly across the Upper North Shore, and Warrawee is one of the most active suburbs due to its large blocks, deep gardens, shaded edges, sandstone walls, and reliable wildlife corridors. A snake sighting can happen at any moment — out on the driveway, under the deck, beside the pool pump, inside a garage, in a garden bed, crawling from leaf litter, or even slipping indoors through an open door.

Urban Reptile Removal is recognised as the number one Sydney snake catcher, attending more snake callouts across the city and the North Shore than any other service. Our experience in identifying, locating, catching and safely relocating snakes means Warrawee residents can trust us during stressful and unexpected encounters.

If a snake appears on your property, do not attempt to deal with it yourself. Snakes react defensively when approached, startled, touched or cornered. They move faster than most people expect, and attempting DIY removal dramatically increases risk. Call 0418 633 474, step back and wait for a licensed professional.

Why Snakes Regularly Appear in Warrawee

Warrawee has ideal micro-habitats for snakes because it offers:

• Dense native gardens
• Moist soil and shaded nooks
• Warm sandstone and brick edges
• Under-house cavities
• Deck voids
• Water sources
• Abundant lizards and frogs
• Rodent activity
• Thick planting and leaf litter
• Minimal disturbance in garden areas

Snakes do not choose suburbs — they choose conditions. Warrawee provides excellent natural cover, reliable food sources, and perfect breeding and basking environments.

Snake sightings increase during:

• Spring warm-ups
• Summer heatwaves
• Early autumn feeding
• After rainfall
• Periods of rodent movement
• Unexpected winter warm spells

The combination of moisture, warmth, and shelter creates predictable snake pathways across Warrawee, bringing reptiles directly beneath houses, under decks, along fences, and occasionally inside homes.

What To Do If You See a Snake in Warrawee

Your response determines safety and outcome. The correct approach is always the same:

• Freeze briefly, then step back slowly
• Bring pets indoors immediately
• Keep children well away
• Do not approach the snake
• Do not touch, corner or guide it
• Do not throw water or objects
• Do not attempt DIY removal
• Maintain visual contact from a safe distance
• Call Urban Reptile Removal on 0418 633 474

A calm, measured response keeps everyone safe and ensures efficient removal once we arrive.

Snakes Commonly Found in Warrawee

Warrawee is home to the same major snake species found throughout Sydney. Some are venomous, some harmless, and some simply large and intimidating. Urban Reptile Removal relocates them all safely and professionally.

Below are the five species most commonly encountered:

Red-Bellied Black Snake

Glossy black top, bright red underside. One of the most recognisable species in Australia.

Key points:
• Venomous
• Prefers damp, shaded gardens
• Often found near drains, pond edges, cool shaded pathways
• Moves quietly through dense vegetation
• Dangerous when cornered but prefers to avoid conflict

If you see one, back away and contact Urban Reptile Removal. Shy behaviour does not equal safety.

Eastern Brown Snake

One of the world’s most venomous snakes. Fast, alert and defensive when threatened. Attracted strongly to rodents.

Critical traits:
• Extremely venomous
• Very fast-moving
• Often hides beneath garden edging and narrow warm gaps
• Appears during rodent activity spikes
• Frequently misidentified by residents

If a brown snake is suspected, avoid the area immediately. Call Urban Reptile Removal for urgent assistance.

Golden Crown Snake

Small, slender snake with a golden band across the head. Often uncovered unexpectedly while gardening.

About this species:
• Not dangerous
• Lives in mulch, compost, leaf litter, under pot plants
• Frequently mistaken for baby brown snakes
• May bite if handled

Despite being harmless, they should still be relocated by a professional to avoid confusion or unnecessary alarm.

Green Tree Snake

A harmless, fast, brightly coloured species common throughout the leafy Upper North Shore.

Behaviour:
• Non-venomous
• Excellent climber
• Often found on fences, pergolas, walls and rooflines
• Can slip into homes via open windows or doors
• Moves rapidly, startling homeowners

If one enters your home, Urban Reptile Removal will remove it gently and safely.

Diamond Python

A large, calm python with yellow-and-black diamond markings. Completely non-venomous and highly effective at controlling rodents.

Behaviour includes:
• Slow movement
• Frequent basking on warm surfaces
• Regular presence in roof cavities
• Silent night movement following rodent scent trails
• Often surprises residents due to size, not behaviour

We relocate pythons humanely whenever they are somewhere unsuitable or causing distress.

Why Snakes Enter Warrawee Properties

Snakes are not drawn to suburbs by choice — they are drawn to conditions and opportunities. Warrawee properties often provide:

1. Food

Rodents, frogs, skinks and birds attract snakes. A single mouse in a roof cavity is enough to bring a python or brown snake.

2. Water

Snakes seek moisture from:

• Bird baths
• Ponds
• Dripping taps
• Irrigation overspray
• Damp soil
• Pet bowls
• Overflow trays

3. Warmth

Snakes regulate body temperature using heat-holding surfaces:

• Driveways
• Stone steps
• Sandstone walls
• Timber decking
• Brickwork
• Roof surfaces

4. Shelter

Hiding locations include:

• Under-house voids
• Retaining walls
• Sheds
• Pool pump boxes
• Leaf litter
• Timber stacks
• Rock crevices
• Garden debris
• Deck cavities

Anywhere quiet, cool and secure becomes part of a snake’s movement route.

Seasonal Snake Activity in Warrawee

Seasonal changes strongly influence snake movement:

Spring
• Snakes emerge from winter hiding
• Mating season begins
• Sightings surge

Summer
• Peak snake season
• Snakes regulate heat by moving between sun and shade
• Most lawn, driveway and garage sightings occur now

Autumn
• Snakes feed heavily before cooler months
• Warm spells produce sudden bursts of movement

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

Residents often see snakes suddenly even after long quiet months because temperature shifts directly affect snake movement.
