The Ponds

Snake Catcher - Available 24/7

0418633474

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

The Ponds sits in the Blacktown LGA between Kellyville Ridge, Stanhope Gardens, Schofields and Riverstone, with the First Ponds Creek and Second Ponds Creek catchments threading through the suburb and the connecting drainage corridors linking into the wider South Creek system. The suburb was developed from farmland in the mid-2000s and now consists of densely-built modern estate housing on standard suburban blocks, established gardens that have had 15-20 years to mature, a high concentration of backyard pools, retained reserve and bushland strips between the streets, and the connecting creek and drainage network that gives the suburb its name. That combination produces a distinctively water-influenced snake catching profile.

What we see in The Ponds

Red-bellied black snakes are the species we see most often in The Ponds. The creek system and the connecting drainage easements sustain a year-round red-belly presence, and pool pump housings, ponds and thick damp garden beds on adjoining properties bring them up into yards consistently. They're most active following summer rain when frog populations spike along the creek lines.

Eastern brown snakes appear on the drier blocks, around older sheds and properties with chicken coops or rodent activity. Less dominant than red-bellies here, but they turn up regularly. Generally shy and prefer to flee — but highly venomous and worth treating with respect.

Yellow-faced whip snakes appear along fence lines, retaining walls and warm garden edges. Often mistaken for juvenile brown snakes because of their speed and slender shape. Venomous but their bite is medically minor compared to a brown.

Blue-tongued lizards are part of The Ponds' everyday backyard wildlife, particularly in the more established gardens. Many of the snake calls we attend turn out to be blue-tongues — never an issue, always happy to attend and confirm.

Where snakes go on The Ponds properties

The hiding spots are predictable: around pool pumps and filtration boxes, behind pool equipment sheds, behind hot water systems, in thick damp garden beds, under garden edging, inside garages along the wall lines, behind air-conditioning units, beneath outdoor furniture, around pond and water-feature edges, and along the reserve and drainage easement margins where they back onto residential blocks. 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.
