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 Ourimbah
Ourimbah sits at the foot of the Watagan ranges on the Central Coast, with Ourimbah Creek running through the suburb, the bushland of Ourimbah State Forest forming the western boundary, and the connecting corridors of Strickland State Forest and Olney State Forest extending the bushland north and south. The character is semi-rural Central Coast — large blocks, acreage properties, the University of Newcastle Central Coast campus, mature canopy, sandstone country, and a layout where most properties sit on or near a bushland boundary. The result is one of the most reptile-active suburbs on the Central Coast.
What we see in Ourimbah
Red-bellied black snakes are the dominant species across Ourimbah. The Ourimbah Creek catchment, the damp gully systems and the bushland edges support a substantial resident population. Pool and pond properties, dam-side blocks, creek-frontage properties and damp paddocks see the highest activity, particularly through summer and after rain.
Diamond pythons work the older housing stock and the bushland-edge properties. The state forest connections sustain a strong resident python population, with roof cavity callouts running through the warmer months. Acreage properties with sheds, stables and storage areas see consistent python activity.
Green tree snakes are a regular feature of Ourimbah 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 are a regular feature in Ourimbah — the state forest bushland delivers them through yards, paddocks, sheds and occasionally into roof spaces. A consistent callout through the warmer months.
Eastern water dragons and Blue-tongued lizards are part of Ourimbah's everyday wildlife. Water dragons are common along Ourimbah 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 Ourimbah properties
The hiding spots reflect the semi-rural character: roof cavities, eaves and rafters for pythons, inside sheds, stables and feed stores, around water troughs and dam edges, under decking, behind hot water systems, along sandstone walls, in shaded garden beds, behind machinery, in chicken coops and aviaries, around pool pumps and filtration boxes, and through the gaps between the house and the 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 or feed bowls left outside overnight. No snake repellent sprays, no gimmicks. Just the things that actually work.
