Narrabeen Lagoon is one of the most reptile-active locations in metropolitan Sydney. Stay calm and keep your distance. Move children and pets clear of the area, but keep your eyes on the snake from a safe spot. The most useful thing you can do before we arrive is maintain visual contact — a snake that's been watched is far easier to find. You don't need to take a photo or identify the species — just watch where it goes.

About Narrabeen

Narrabeen wraps around the southern and eastern shoreline of Narrabeen Lagoon — the largest coastal lagoon in metropolitan Sydney — with the connecting bushland of the Garigal corridor running into the suburb from the west and the coastal heath of Narrabeen Head to the east. The character is mixed: lagoon-side properties, beachside housing, established residential streets, and the bushland-edge blocks backing onto reserve. The lagoon is the dominant feature for snake activity. It's a wetland system supporting a year-round red-bellied black snake population, and Narrabeen is one of the most consistent red-belly suburbs in the Northern Beaches.

What we see in Narrabeen

Red-bellied black snakes are the dominant species across Narrabeen. The lagoon edge, the connecting creeks, and the damp gully systems support a strong resident population. Pool and pond properties, lagoon-frontage blocks, and damp garden beds see the highest activity. Summer and post-rain are the busiest periods. Properties with frog activity will see red-bellies through the warmer months as a near certainty.

Diamond pythons work the older housing stock and the bushland-edge properties on the western side of the suburb. Roof cavity callouts are common through the warmer months.

Eastern brown snakes are uncommon in Narrabeen itself — the wetland character doesn't suit them. They appear occasionally on the drier blocks further inland.

Golden-crowned snakes turn up in shaded leaf-litter gardens after summer rain. Venomous but their bite is medically minor.

Lace monitors appear from the bushland reserves in summer, particularly on the western edge of the suburb.

Blue-tongued lizards and Eastern water dragons are part of Narrabeen's everyday backyard wildlife. Water dragons are particularly common around the lagoon foreshore and along the connecting creek systems. Many of the snake calls we attend turn out to be one of these — never an issue, always happy to attend and confirm.

Where snakes go on Narrabeen properties

The hiding spots reflect the lagoon-and-coastal character: around pool pumps, filtration boxes and pond edges, along the lagoon foreshore and dock structures, in waterside garden beds, under decking and pergolas, behind hot water systems, in thick damp garden beds, along retaining walls, under garden edging, in roof cavities for pythons, behind boat sheds, and through the gaps between the house and the lagoon or reserve boundary. We work through them methodically once we arrive.

After we leave

Every Urban Reptile Removal job ends with a brief walk-through of the property. We tell you why the snake was likely there, what's drawing it in, and what you can change to reduce future activity — short grass, no clutter along the fence line, stored items lifted off the ground, gaps sealed where rodents travel, and no pet food bowls left outside overnight. No snake repellent sprays, no gimmicks. Just the things that actually work.
