An Engadine family moved children and pets away from a playroom before Harley removed a diamond python from among the toys. The report describes keeping the room undisturbed.
The Woronora valley and Georges River slopes can mean stairs, raised decks and narrow side passages. Engadine and Heathcote sit beside extensive national park bushland. Describe the access to your own property, rather than sending a catcher towards a reserve where the snake has disappeared.
Do not crawl underneath, lift stored materials or poke retaining-wall gaps. Report the last visible position and the safe entrance.
Redirect visitors away from the affected doorway. Give an on-site contact and explain gates, steps and loading access.

Sutherland Hospital: Kingsway and Kareena Road, Caringbah.
Ambulance services determine the appropriate hospital.

Keep people and pets away. Do not approach, trap or disturb the snake, and do not search concealed spaces if it disappears. Watch only from a safe position; a photograph is useful only if you can take it without moving closer. Read the full snake safety guide.
We confirm catcher availability, the call-out fee and a current arrival estimate when arranging attendance. Existing jobs, traffic and access affect timing. Capture cannot be guaranteed if the snake cannot be found.
For property-specific access advice, see the Heathcote snake catcher guide or Alfords Point snake catcher guide. Give the actual street address when requesting attendance.
Looking for broader wildlife context? The mapped place point for Sutherland falls in square F7 of our 2025 Sydney-region observation report. A suburb can extend into neighbouring squares; this is an orientation guide, not a suburb boundary map.

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.
