Snake Catcher Cambridge Gardens
A snake near a Cambridge Gardens doorway, garden or shared path calls for distance and a clear last-seen point—not a closer look. Move people and pets away, then call Snakes in the City on 0411 103 488 for a licensed snake-removal enquiry. Our phone line is open 24/7; attendance depends on availability.

A small reserve beside everyday streets
Penrith City Council lists Trinity Drive Bushland Reserve in Cambridge Gardens as a 0.5-hectare Shale Plains Woodland reserve, entered from Trinity Drive. Council also lists a Trinity Drive playspace. Those are useful landmarks for describing an incident; they are not evidence of a snake at any particular address.
Council’s urban study places Cambridge Gardens within its established Werrington-area neighbourhood analysis. This is an established residential setting. A house boundary, shed, garage, fence line or park edge may change where a person can safely stand and how a catcher can enter. If the animal is on public land, keep away from the spot and alert the relevant land manager; do not follow it through vegetation or across a path.
Give the exact side of the boundary
When calling, say whether the snake is in a private yard, on the footpath, near the reserve entrance or inside a building. A street address, gate location and last safe observation help more than a guess about species or where it came from. Do not approach to confirm those details.
Hold the scene at the last safe observation

Preserve the last-seen point
If it vanishes beneath a shed, into garden cover or beside stored material, stop there. Note the opening and time, but do not lift items or put a hand into a gap.

Plan safe access
Tell us about locked gates, rear-lane access, pets, a shared driveway or a room that can be isolated without approaching the animal. No search can guarantee a hidden snake will be found.
A possible human bite overrides the removal call
Call 000 for an ambulance immediately, even if the person seems well. Keep them still; apply a pressure-immobilisation bandage and splint the limb as directed by the operator. Do not wash, cut or suck the bite, use a tourniquet, or catch the snake. Healthdirect explains the full steps; the NSW Poisons Information Centre also provides snakebite advice.
Two emergency routes, depending on who was bitten
Person: ambulance first
Do not delay to photograph or identify the snake. The nearby public emergency department is Nepean Hospital, Building A, entry via Gate 7 on Somerset Street, Kingswood NSW 2747. Its ED operates 24/7; the hospital switchboard is (02) 4734 2000. For a suspected bite, call 000, not the switchboard, and follow ambulance directions about transport.
Pet: call an emergency vet
Keep the animal quiet and away from the snake. Nepean Animal Hospital, WellPet Vets, 50 Mulgoa Road, Regentville NSW, lists 24/7 emergency care including public holidays on (02) 4733 3456. Call first to discuss current capacity and safe transport; this listing does not guarantee treatment of every case.
Regional snake possibilities are not a street-level record
The Australian Museum describes eastern brown snakes in varied, often modified habitats, while red-bellied black snakes are commonly associated with wetter habitat. Both are regional possibilities—not confirmed Cambridge Gardens sightings. Colour, habitat and a brief description cannot safely identify the animal in front of you.
What a photograph can—and cannot—establish
This licensed image illustrates why a snake may be difficult to judge by colour at a distance. It does not document local presence. If you already have a photograph taken safely, it may help the catcher, but never move closer to obtain one.

Meet the service without a fabricated local case study
Snakes in the City arranges humane capture and relocation under NSW licence MWL000102655. Our back office confirms who is available; traffic and existing work affect timing, so we do not promise a fixed arrival time. Ask about the call-out fee and what can be done if the snake is no longer visible. Meet Harley Jones and see independent Google reviews of the business.
After the incident: reduce cover, keep claims modest
Once the immediate situation is resolved, keep paths and doorways clear, store timber and equipment neatly, and avoid spilled pet or bird feed that attracts rodents. Check garden edges before working and wear enclosed shoes outdoors. These are practical risk-reduction steps, not a promise that an urban property can be snake-proofed. Never start clearing a last-seen hiding place while the animal may still be there.

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.
