What makes a Narrabeen call-out different
In Narrabeen, avoid entering reeds, drains or waterside vegetation after a snake moves from view. Use a safe landmark on the path or property.
When calling from Narrabeen, explain whether the animal is indoors or outside, whether it remains visible, and whether children, pets, customers, livestock or workers are nearby. The team can then assess the immediate risk and the safest access.
Property access around lagoon edges
Around Narrabeen, lagoon edges, coastal gardens, wetland vegetation, apartment common areas, schools and garages can create several possible routes and shelter points. Leave those places undisturbed after the snake moves out of sight.
Coastal bushland, rock shelves and dense gardens can limit visibility; watch only from a clear, stable position.
Details worth noting around this Narrabeen property
A sighting does not establish that there is a nest or more than one snake. Avoid assumptions about species, numbers or where the animal has gone; preserve the last reliable observation instead.
What to report when you call
- Avoid approaching from either side, particularly around lagoon edges.
- Ask workers, visitors and neighbours to use another entrance or area.
- Watch from a safe position and remember the last feature or boundary where it was visible.
- Never touch, trap, corner, poke or attempt to kill the snake.
- If someone may have been bitten, call Triple Zero (000) immediately and follow the operator’s instructions.
Experience, equipment and humane relocation
Harley Jones brings more than a decade of reptile-handling experience to Narrabeen call-outs and operates under NSW General Licence MWL000102655.
The attending catcher assesses access around lagoon edges, keeps other people outside the working area and completes humane relocation when capture is possible.
If the snake has left lagoon edges or cannot be located, capture cannot be guaranteed. The attending catcher will explain what was checked and what should happen next. Read about Harley’s training and experience or review the Greater Sydney snake-removal process.
After the call-out: sensible property maintenance
Regular mowing, controlled storage and rodent management are practical priorities near lagoon edges.
Do not begin this work while a snake may still be concealed. These measures reduce convenient shelter but cannot make a Narrabeen property completely snake-proof.
