Snake Catcher Cromer

Service Locations

1 June

If there's a snake at your home, garage, shed, or property in Cromer, CALL NOW on 0418 633 474.

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 Cromer

Cromer sits between Narrabeen Lagoon and the bushland of the Cromer Heights and Wheeler Heights reserves, with South Creek and the connecting drainage corridors threading through the residential streets. The suburb has a mix of established 1960s and 70s housing, mature gardens, and a significant industrial pocket along Cromer Road. The bushland-and-lagoon geography produces a strong red-bellied black snake presence, with diamond pythons through the older roof spaces and lace monitors moving through the reserve corridors.

What we see in Cromer

Red-bellied black snakes are a particular feature of Cromer — the Narrabeen Lagoon catchment, the South Creek drainage, and the damp gully systems support a strong resident population. Pool and pond properties see the highest activity, especially through summer and after rain.

Diamond pythons work the older housing stock and the reserve-edge properties. Roof cavity callouts are common through the warmer months.

Eastern brown snakes are present but less common — the bushland character doesn't suit them as well as the open country further west. They appear occasionally on the drier blocks and around industrial properties.

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 in summer. A regular callout on properties backing onto Cromer Heights or Wheeler Heights reserves.

Blue-tongued lizards and Eastern water dragons are part of Cromer's everyday backyard wildlife. 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 Cromer properties

The hiding spots reflect the lagoon-and-bushland character: around pool pumps, filtration boxes and pond edges, under decking and pergolas, behind hot water systems, in thick damp garden beds, along retaining walls, under garden edging, behind air-conditioning units, in sheds and storage areas, and through the gaps between the house and the back reserve or creek line. 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.
