COLEBEE — Urban Reptile and Snake Removal 0418633474
Colebee may be one of the newer suburbs in Western Sydney, but that doesn’t stop snakes from moving through the area. In fact, new estates often see more reptile activity than older suburbs because the environment shifts quickly during construction. Rodents move, frogs spread out, lizards relocate, and snakes follow all of that movement. Colebee is full of warm retaining walls, open lawns, fresh landscaping, stacked materials, and sunny edges along fences — perfect conditions for several species of local snakes. That’s why Urban Reptile Removal responds to so many callouts here, and why having a reliable snake catcher in Colebee is so important.
If you ever need quick, calm, professional snake removal, the best thing you can do is phone 0418 633 474 straight away. We know the area well, we know the behaviour of the local species, and we can get to Colebee quickly.
The most common snake we remove here is the Eastern brown snake. Brown snakes thrive in clean, open modern suburbs because they prefer warmth, space, and rodent activity. Colebee, with its long, straight fencelines and newly established drainage corridors, provides the perfect environment for them to move through. Most people who spot a brown snake describe it appearing “out of nowhere”, which is exactly how they behave — they move quickly and silently. If you see a brown, don’t try to corner it or chase it off. Just step back and call a trained snake catcher immediately.
Another regular visitor to Colebee is the red-bellied black snake. These snakes prefer slightly wetter or more sheltered areas, and Colebee has many damp corners in fresh landscaping, shady garden beds that hold moisture, and areas where frogs and skinks hide. Red-bellies often move through backyards early in the morning or late in the afternoon when temperatures are more comfortable. Although they are calmer than browns, they are still highly venomous, and attempting to interfere with them leads to problems very quickly. If you see that characteristic glossy black body and red underside, back away and call us for safe, professional snake removal.
Yellow-faced whip snakes appear regularly here as well. These are slender, very fast snakes, usually confused with baby brown snakes. They’re shy, nervous, and will flee quickly, but they are venomous and should always be handled by a licensed professional. Whip snakes are common in newly landscaped yards, especially around rock borders, raised garden beds, mulch piles, and small gaps between fence posts. Colebee’s layout makes it easy for them to dart between properties. A quick call to 0418 633 474 gives us the best chance of locating them before they disappear completely.
Colebee also gets plenty of green tree snakes, especially in warmer months. These snakes are harmless, but they move very quickly and flatten their heads when frightened, which makes many residents assume they’re venomous. They often slip into garages, outdoor entertainment areas, and laundry rooms while chasing lizards or frogs. Even though they’re non-venomous, removing one from inside a home or enclosed area requires gentle handling. We always prioritise the safety of both the homeowner and the animal.
And of course, Colebee residents see plenty of blue-tongued lizards. Blue-tongues sunbake on driveways, hide under pot plants, squeeze under air-conditioning units, or shelter behind retaining walls. They hiss, puff up, and show a blue tongue when startled, which leads many people to assume they’re snakes. We never mind attending a call that turns out to be a blue-tongue — it’s always better to check than risk being wrong. Blue-tongues are completely harmless and one of the best natural pest controllers you can have in the garden.
When you call Urban Reptile Removal, the first thing we do is talk you through what to do while we’re on our way. Colebee residents often apologise for not knowing the species, but that’s completely normal. You don’t need to identify the snake — just tell us what you saw and roughly where it went. We can usually get a good idea of the species based on your description, the location, and the behaviour.
Most snake calls in Colebee happen in the afternoon when snakes warm up and become more active, but we attend morning and evening callouts as well. If a snake is inside the home, near pets, or in an area where someone might accidentally step on it, we treat it as an urgent emergency snake removal and head straight out.
On arrival, we work calmly and methodically. There’s no drama, no shouting instructions, no panic — just proper reptile handling from licensed professionals. We look at the last known movement of the snake, check the likely escape paths, and inspect places where it may have settled. Snakes rarely move far. They usually duck into predictable spots: under landscaping timber, behind AC units, beside garden edging, under kids’ outdoor toys, or behind items stored along the side of the house. New estates like Colebee have plenty of these temporary hiding places.
Once we locate and safely remove the snake, we check nearby hiding areas and then talk you through what attracted the snake in the first place. In Colebee, the most common attractant is rodents. Fresh soil, new turf, and nearby construction all stir up mouse activity, and snakes follow that trail. Frogs and skinks are common too, so red-bellies and green tree snakes appear more often than people expect. We’ll give you practical advice on reducing the odds of another visit — things like keeping grass trimmed, lifting items off the ground, tidying unused materials, and fixing small fence gaps where rodents run.
One of the biggest myths we correct in Colebee is the idea that snakes “live permanently” in yards or “breed” under houses. They don’t. Snakes in suburban areas are transient. They move constantly and rarely stay in one spot for long. A snake sighting doesn’t mean your home is infested — it simply means a snake passed through or found a temporary shelter spot.
Throughout the process, we keep everything calm and straightforward. People call Urban Reptile Removal because we don’t make the situation bigger than it is. We arrive quickly, we speak plainly, and we remove the snake safely. Homeowners often tell us they feel better within minutes of us showing up because the situation immediately feels controlled and manageable.
If you ever feel unsure about something you’ve seen in the yard — even if you don’t know whether it was a snake or a lizard — you can always call 0418 633 474 for advice. We’d much rather walk you through it than have someone take a risk.
And if you need a dependable snake catcher in Colebee, or fast emergency snake removal, we’re only ever a phone call away. Colebee is a beautiful suburb, and snakes are simply part of the environment here. With the right help, there’s nothing to worry about.
