Call with the location
Give the street address, last-seen time and exact spot: for example, beside the side gate or beneath a particular shelf. Tell us if anyone or any pet may have been bitten.
Possible bite to a person? Call 000 now
Keep the person still and follow the ambulance operator’s instructions. For a limb bite, use a pressure immobilisation bandage if available. Do not wash the bite, cut it or apply a tourniquet. Do not drive yourself or wait for a catcher. Healthdirect snakebite first aid.
Possible pet bite: call a vet immediately, even if your pet appears well. Keep it quiet and follow the veterinary team’s transport advice. Local vet contacts below.
Kellyville gardens, creek corridors and access
The Hills Shire Council’s Metro walks guide describes routes from Kellyville station through the Caddies Creek and Strangers Creek landscape. These waterways and woodland edges help explain the mix of residential streets and nearby habitat; they do not tell us which property has a snake today.
For a sighting beside a reserve or shared path, give the nearest street and named entrance from a safe position. Tell us whether the snake is on your property or public land. Do not follow it down a creek bank to keep it in view.
At home, describe the access as well as the hiding place: a narrow side passage, locked courtyard, garage or shared strata garden. Arrange a keyholder if needed, without approaching the snake.

After the immediate situation is resolved
Keep commonly used paths clear, reduce clutter beside buildings, store animal feed securely and address rodent activity. Seal suitable building gaps once it is safe to work. These steps reduce shelter and food opportunities; they cannot guarantee a snake-free property.
Questions when calling from Kellyville
What if it disappears before help arrives?
Note the last place and time you saw it and update us. Keep that area clear. Do not move pot plants, dismantle decking or empty the shed to search.
What if a snake is inside a room?
Leave the room and keep people and pets out. If you can close the door without going near the snake, do so. Tell us which room and where it was last seen; do not try to push it outside.
Does a snake on a walking track need catching?
A snake moving through habitat away from people may be best left alone. Keep back and let it pass. Call if it is trapped, injured or creating an immediate risk, and describe the location so we can discuss the appropriate response.
Need help at a Kellyville property?
Keep a safe distance. Call with your address and the snake’s last known location.

Looking for broader wildlife context? The mapped place point for Kellyville falls in square E4 of our 2025 Sydney-region observation report. A suburb can extend into neighbouring squares; this is an orientation guide, not a suburb boundary map.

Counts apply to the whole square, not each suburb listed. A suburb appearing in a square does not mean a snake was recorded in that suburb. These are public observation records, not SITC call-outs, unique snake totals or a measure of danger.
