Arranging a call-out
Our office checks catcher availability and location before arranging attendance. Ask about the expected arrival time, call-out fee and what the fee covers. Traffic, access and other jobs can affect timing.
Somerville Road and the Berowra Creek valley
Crosslands Reserve is reached from Somerville Road in Hornsby Heights. It sits beside Berowra Creek within the Berowra Valley bushland. Council lists seasonal closing times for its access gate, so a reserve sighting needs a precise location and current access information. A street address and a reserve trackhead are not interchangeable meeting points.
A local fence rescue
In our published Hornsby Heights report, Harley freed a diamond python woven through metal fence bars by supporting its body and working through the loops carefully. The snake was then secured for relocation. Read the full account and see the original photograph.
Has SITC handled a snake on a local fence?
Yes. Our published Hornsby Heights field report describes Harley supporting and carefully freeing a diamond python threaded through metal fence bars. Read the report below; never pull a snake through fencing yourself.
What if the snake has gone?
Call with the last sighting and time. Do not dismantle stored materials or enter a roof, drain or underfloor space. Ask the team whether a visit is useful and what charges apply if the animal cannot be located.

Counts apply to the whole square, not each suburb listed. A suburb appearing in a square does not mean a snake was recorded in that suburb. These are public observation records, not SITC call-outs, unique snake totals or a measure of danger.
