If you need a snake catcher in Narara, CALL NOW on 0418 633 474. Urban Reptile Removal covers Narara year-round, seven days a week.

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 Narara

Narara sits in the central part of the Gosford LGA, with Narara Creek running through the suburb, the bushland of Rumbalara Reserve to the south and the Strickland State Forest corridor to the north. The character is established Central Coast residential — mature canopy, sandstone outcrops, deep gullies, and a layout where most properties sit within a few streets of bushland, creek or reserve. The bushland-and-creek geography produces a strong red-bellied black snake suburb, with diamond pythons through the older roof spaces and lace monitors from the connecting reserve corridors in summer.

**Diamond Pythons, like this one are a common species around Narara.**

What we see in Narara

Red-bellied black snakes are the dominant species across Narara. The Narara Creek catchment, the connecting drainage corridors and the damp gully systems support a strong resident population. Pool and pond properties, creek-side blocks and damp garden beds see the highest activity, particularly through summer and after rain.

Diamond pythons work the older housing stock and the bushland-edge properties. The Rumbalara Reserve and Strickland State Forest connections sustain a steady python presence in roof cavities through the warmer months.

Green tree snakes are a regular feature of Narara properties. Slender, fast and harmless, they turn up in garages, sheds, gardens and occasionally inside homes. They climb readily and often follow prey into roof spaces.

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 connecting bushland reserves in summer. A regular callout on properties backing onto Rumbalara or Strickland — they wander through yards, sheds and occasionally into roof spaces.

Eastern water dragons and Blue-tongued lizards are part of Narara's everyday wildlife. Water dragons are common along the creek and in gardens with ponds. 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 Narara properties

The hiding spots reflect the creek-and-bushland character: around pool pumps, filtration boxes and pond edges, along creek lines and damp drainage, under decking and pergolas, behind hot water systems, in thick damp garden beds, in roof cavities for pythons, along sandstone 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 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.
