Emergency Snake Removal in Sydney
Emergency snake removal may be required when a snake is seen in a location where people, pets, staff, customers or residents may be at risk.
Snakes should never be approached, handled, trapped or harmed. Even if the snake appears calm or has stopped moving, it may react defensively if disturbed. The safest option is to keep everyone away, watch the snake from a safe distance if possible and contact a licensed snake catcher.

Our handlers use appropriate equipment and proven handling methods to capture and relocate snakes safely while reducing risk to people and unnecessary stress to the animal.
