Bush-edge access, rock shelves and multi-level homes matter here. A clear description of the slope, the closest reserve and whether the animal entered a cavity helps plan the search.

Before a catcher sets off
Three useful Kurnell questions.
Which reserve, river or bushland boundary is closest?
Is the property split across steep levels?
Did the snake enter a roof, wall, subfloor or drain?
Species context—not a remote identification
Colour is not a safety test.
Red-bellied black snakes, eastern brown snakes and diamond pythons can all occur across the Shire’s varied habitats. Small crowned snakes are also associated with moist sandstone shelter.
Take a zoomed photograph only from behind glass or another secure position. Never move closer for identification.
After the immediate problem
Make the property easier to inspect.
No Sydney property can honestly be guaranteed “snake-proof”. These practical steps reduce shelter and make future sightings easier to manage.
- 1Keep bush-edge paths clear enough to inspect.
- 2Repair subfloor doors and accessible gaps.
- 3Raise stored surf, garden and building gear.
- 4Manage dense groundcover beside entrances.
