Licensed Python Catchers
Professional reptile handlers for safe python capture and relocation across Sydney.
24/7 Sydney Response
Urgent python removal for homes, workplaces, businesses and strata properties.
Humane Reptile Relocation
Safe handling and relocation in line with NSW wildlife requirements.
Pythons are non-venomous snakes, but that does not mean they should be approached or handled without the right training. A frightened or cornered python may defend itself, and attempting to catch one can place you, the snake and anyone nearby at unnecessary risk.
Our python catchers use professional equipment and proven handling techniques to remove the animal safely and with minimal stress. Once captured, the python is relocated humanely and in accordance with applicable NSW wildlife requirements.
Native reptiles are protected in New South Wales, and catch and release licences allow suitably qualified handlers to remove reptiles from residential and commercial properties legally. NSW environmental authorities advise people not to handle or kill snakes and to keep children and pets away while contacting a licensed reptile handler.
IF YOU SEE A PYTHON:
- STAY CALM
- KEEP CHILDREN AND PETS AWAY

- TAKE A PHOTO ONLY IF SAFE

Our Python Removal Process
01.
INITIAL ASSESSMENT
We gather information about the python’s location and the surrounding environment. A photo may help with preliminary identification, but the snake will still be approached cautiously.
02.
SAFE CAPTURE
A qualified reptile handler attends the property with appropriate snake catching and containment equipment. The area is assessed before the python is captured safely.
03.
PROPERTY CHECK
Where appropriate, the handler checks nearby hiding places to determine whether the python has moved into a roof void, storage area, garden bed or another part of the property.
04.
HUMANE RELOCATION
The python is contained securely and relocated in line with relevant wildlife regulations and animal welfare requirements.
05.
PRACTICAL ADVISE
We can explain what may have attracted the python and identify practical steps that may reduce future encounters. However, no property can be guaranteed to remain completely snake free.

Are pythons venomous?
Australian pythons, including diamond pythons, are non-venomous. However, every unidentified snake should be treated cautiously until it has been assessed by an experienced handler.

You should not attempt to catch or relocate a python yourself. Keep children and pets away and contact a licensed reptile handler.

Yes. Snakes in the City provides 24/7 snake and reptile removal throughout Sydney.
What happens to the python after it is captured?
The python is handled humanely and relocated in accordance with relevant NSW wildlife requirements.
Can you remove a python from a roof space?
Yes. We attend python sightings in roof spaces, ceiling cavities and other parts of residential and commercial buildings. Access and removal options will depend on the structure and the python’s location.
What if the python disappears before the catcher arrives?
Continue watching the area from a safe distance and note where the python was last seen. Do not place your hands into gaps, boxes, vegetation or roof cavities while searching for it. Our handler can assess likely hiding areas upon arrival.
