Why Snakes Are Found Around Illawong
Illawong is a strong target suburb because of its riverfront and sloping bushland blocks. Local snake sightings are more likely where there is a mix of shelter, warmth, water and prey. Georges River frontage, bush reserves, sloping blocks, pools, decks and rock walls can all bring snakes closer to homes, sheds, garages, schools, pets and work areas, especially during warm weather.
A snake on an Illawong property does not mean the property is dirty or neglected. In many cases, the snake is simply moving through natural habitat or following food, water, shelter or warmth.
- Georges River frontage
- Bush reserves
- Sloping blocks
- Pools
- Decks
- Rock walls
