Snake Catcher Somersby

Service Locations

1 June

Somersby is genuine snake country. If you need a snake catcher in Somersby, CALL NOW on 0418 633 474. Urban Reptile Removal covers Somersby 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 Somersby

Somersby sits on the elevated plateau above the Pacific Motorway on the southern Central Coast, with Brisbane Water National Park forming the southern boundary, the bushland of Strickland State Forest to the east, and the deep gully country of the Mooney Mooney Creek catchment running through the western and southern parts of the suburb. The character is semi-rural acreage — large blocks, industrial estate pockets along Somersby Industrial Drive, the Australian Reptile Park as the anchoring institution, plant nurseries, market gardens, sandstone country, and a layout where almost every property sits on or near a bushland boundary. Somersby is one of the most reptile-active locations on the Central Coast

The combination of national park on multiple sides, the deep gully systems, the acreage character and the long-established bushland connections produces a year-round reptile call pattern. Industrial properties, acreage homes, nursery operations and the residential pockets all see snake activity through the warmer months.

What we see in Somersby

Red-bellied black snakes are a defining feature of Somersby. The Mooney Mooney Creek catchment, the damp gully systems, the dams on the acreage properties and the connecting drainage corridors support a substantial resident population. Pool and pond properties, dam-side blocks, nursery operations with constant moisture, and damp paddocks see the highest activity. Red-bellies move readily through the cleared paddock margins and along property boundaries.

Diamond pythons are a major species. The Brisbane Water National Park and Strickland State Forest connections sustain a strong resident python population. Acreage properties with sheds, stables, hay storage, plant nursery structures and large roof spaces deliver consistent python callouts year-round. Industrial estate roof cavities and warehouse storage areas also see python activity.

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

Golden-crowned snakes turn up in the sandstone country and shaded leaf-litter gardens after summer rain. Nocturnal and often found at night around outdoor lighting where they hunt skinks. Venomous but their bite is medically minor.

Lace monitors are a regular feature in Somersby — the surrounding bushland delivers them through paddocks, sheds and occasionally into roof spaces. A consistent callout through the warmer months, particularly on properties backing onto the national park or state forest.

Eastern water dragons and Blue-tongued lizards are part of Somersby's everyday wildlife. Water dragons are common along the creek systems and around dams. 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 Somersby properties

The hiding spots reflect the acreage-and-industrial character: roof cavities, eaves and rafters for pythons, inside sheds, stables and feed stores, behind hay bales, around water troughs and dam edges, in tack rooms, in plant nursery structures and shade houses, under decking, behind hot water systems, along sandstone walls, in shaded garden beds, behind machinery, in chicken coops and aviaries, in industrial warehouse storage, 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.
