Snakes in the City provides professional snake-catching and reptile-relocation services across Greater Sydney, including remote and difficult-to-access locations. One unusual call-out took Harley to a property situated on an island in the Hawkesbury River. The location could only be reached by boat, but the challenging access did not prevent him from responding quickly and safely.
After arriving on the island, Harley carefully inspected the property and surrounding area. Drawing on his extensive training and experience, he successfully located and safely captured the snake while minimising stress to both the animal and the property occupants.
The rescue required more than simply removing the snake from the immediate area. Because the property was located on an island, Harley transported the snake back across the Hawkesbury River by boat. He then released it in a suitable natural environment on the mainland, well away from homes and other potential conflict areas.

This call-out demonstrates the wide area covered by Snakes in the City and Harley’s willingness to attend jobs that require additional planning, travel and specialist handling. From suburban homes and businesses to bushland properties and isolated river communities, Harley provides a calm, professional and humane snake-removal service throughout Greater Sydney.
Snakes are an important part of the Australian environment, and safe relocation protects both the public and the animal. Anyone who discovers a snake should keep a safe distance, supervise children and pets, and contact an experienced snake catcher rather than attempting to capture or harm it.
