Snake Catcher Davidson

Service Locations

1 June

If there's a snake at your home, garage, shed, or property in Davidson, 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 Davidson

Davidson sits between Garigal National Park to the north and the Middle Harbour bushland corridor to the south, with most of the suburb backing directly onto reserve, gully or bushland fingers. The character is established residential blocks, mature gardens, sandstone outcrops, and a higher-than-average proportion of properties sitting on the bushland boundary. The combination produces a textbook diamond python suburb — bushland on one side, suburban garden on the other, and a generation of older homes with mature roof spaces in between.

What we see in Davidson

**Diamond Pythons, like this one, are the most common species we find in Davidson.**

Diamond pythons are the signature call. The Garigal connections and the older roof cavities sustain a substantial resident population. Roof cavity callouts run year-round, with the busiest period through the warmer months.

Red-bellied black snakes work the damp gullies, the creek drainage, and properties with pools, ponds or thick shaded garden beds. Consistent through summer.

Eastern brown snakes are uncommon in Davidson — the bushland character doesn't suit them as well as the open country further west. Occasional sightings on the drier ridge blocks.

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

Lace monitors appear from the bushland in summer, particularly on properties backing onto Garigal. A regular callout.

Blue-tongued lizards and Eastern water dragons are part of Davidson'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 Davidson properties

The hiding spots reflect the bushland-edge character: roof cavities and eaves for pythons, under decking and pergolas, behind hot water systems, around pool pumps and filtration boxes, in thick damp garden beds, along sandstone retaining walls, under garden edging, behind air-conditioning units, beneath outdoor furniture, and through the gaps between the house and the back bushland 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.
