Before anyone gets too close
Retail loading areas and family yards share the district
Loading docks, landscaped centres, pool yards and construction stock all need different access and crowd control.
PET EMERGENCY CONTACTS
Narellan veterinary contacts
Keep these details separate from the snake-removal number. The catcher handles the snake; a veterinary team assesses the pet. If both are needed, make the veterinary call without waiting for capture.
snake at a retail or business loading area
sighting near a pool, shed or garage
call from a school, new estate or building site
Keep people and pets back
Move customers, children and workers away and stop vehicle or forklift movements in the immediate area.
Do not touch, trap, corner or try to kill the snake. Bring children and pets away and call a trained reptile handler.
What to look at later
Keep loading and waste areas clean, raise stock and clear building leftovers after the site is safe.
No property can be completely snake-proof. The practical aim is better visibility, fewer hiding places and less food for rodents, without harming native wildlife.
PET SAFETY / DETAILS CHECKED 17 AUGUST 2026
Where to ring about a pet
The first card is a practical clinic for the local area. The second card is a hospital that advertises 24-hour emergency care. Neither requires you to move closer to the snake or transport it.
Open six days at the time checked; its site lists after-hours referrals.
The hospital states that its emergency service is open 24/7, including public holidays.
Selection from the middle of Narellan cannot account for every road or open clinic. Confirm where the veterinary team wants you to go before starting the trip.
Independent contact information only. Snake Catcher 24/7 Sydney is not affiliated with these veterinary providers. In a life-threatening pet emergency, follow the veterinary team's instructions immediately.
The best way onto the site
Give the centre dock, business unit, estate stage or residential driveway and nominate one contact.
Let us know whether the snake is inside or outside, whether a gate or door is locked and whether animals are still on the property.
A calm description is enough
We will ask where the snake was last seen, what sort of property it is and the safest place to meet you. An existing photo can be useful, but nobody should move closer to take one. Once we know the situation, we can give you an honest indication of availability and travel time.

Local habitat and snake activity Narellan
River and creek margins can suit red-bellied black snakes, while grassland, construction edges and semi-rural ground can suit eastern brown snakes. Pythons may be encountered around wooded edges and sheltered structures. Treat these as broad habitat associations only.
Eastern brown snake
May use open ground, grass margins, disturbed land and places where rodents are active.
Do not use this as an ID: Colour varies widely; a brown or grey snake cannot be identified safely by colour.
Australian Museum species guide ↗Red-bellied black snake
Often associated with wetter habitat such as creeks, drains, wetlands and dam margins.
Do not use this as an ID: The red or pink flank may be hidden from view, especially from above.
Australian Museum species guide ↗Diamond python
Can use mature trees, roof spaces, thick gardens, rockwork and sheltered structures.
Do not use this as an ID: Do not approach because a pattern appears familiar; large pythons can still defend themselves.
Australian Museum species guide ↗These are habitat-based possibilities for the wider district, not a claim that any species is common on a particular Narellan property. The Sydney snake identification guide explains the limits of visual identification.
Call 000 immediately. Keep the person still and calm, apply a pressure immobilisation bandage, and do not wash, cut or suck the bite. Follow the emergency operator and Healthdirect guidance ↗.
Common local questions
Answers for Narellan
Can you attend a Narellan shopping or business site?
Yes. Centre or site management should isolate the area and provide the exact service entrance.
Is the snake moved humanely?
The aim is safe capture and humane relocation in line with current NSW requirements. The snake should not be handled by an untrained person.
Can I make a Narellan property snake-proof?
No property can be made completely snake-proof. Keep loading and waste areas clean, raise stock and clear building leftovers after the site is safe.
The local background comes from NSW Environment — Warranmadhaa National Park and Georges River ↗, with snake safety checked against NSW Environment guidance ↗. Habitat can vary from street to street, so we do not claim that a particular species is common at any address.
