Snake Catcher Neutral Bay
If you need a snake catcher in Neutral Bay, CALL NOW on 0418 633 474. Urban Reptile Removal attends Neutral Bay every day of the year — usually on site within 30 minutes.
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 Neutral Bay
Neutral Bay sits on the harbourside ridge between Cremorne to the east and North Sydney to the west, with Hayes Street, Anderson Park and Kurraba Point reserves shaping the foreshore character. The suburb is mostly a mix of mid-density apartment living around Military Road and the harbourside streets, with pockets of established Federation and Inter-war housing on substantial blocks running down towards Hayes Street Wharf and Kurraba Point. The harbourside geography, the mature trees, and the bushland fingers in the reserves produce a quiet but steady reptile callout pattern — diamond pythons through the older roof spaces, water dragons along the foreshore.
Golden Crowned snakes, like this one, are one of the most common snakes we find in Neutral Bay
What we see in Neutral Bay
Diamond pythons are the most common snake call. The older housing stock with mature roof cavities, combined with the bushland connections through the harbourside reserves, sustains a small but resident python population. Roof cavity work runs through the warmer months. Pythons also turn up in apartment building roof spaces, courtyards and around pools.
Red-bellied black snakes are uncommon — the inner-harbour character doesn't sustain a strong population. Occasional sightings near the larger reserves.
Eastern brown snakes are essentially absent from Neutral Bay.
Golden-crowned snakes turn up occasionally in the sandstone country and shaded leaf-litter gardens after summer rain. Venomous but their bite is medically minor.
Blue-tongued lizards and Eastern water dragons are the most common reptiles we attend in Neutral Bay. Water dragons in particular are common in gardens with ponds, around the harbour foreshore, and on apartment building grounds. 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 Neutral Bay properties
The hiding spots reflect the harbour-and-residential character: roof cavities and eaves for pythons, in pool sheds and garages, under decking and pergolas, behind hot water systems, in courtyards of older housing, around pool pumps and filtration boxes, in thick damp garden beds, along sandstone retaining walls, in apartment building grounds, in storage areas, and through the gaps between the house and the back reserve or foreshore 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.
