Stonecutters Ridge and Colebee · property-first guidance

Snake Catcher Colebee

Snakes in the City arranges licensed snake capture and humane relocation for Colebee homes, pool areas and landscaped boundaries, subject to catcher availability and safe access. Keep people and pets clear, note which side of the fence or wall the snake was last seen on, and call 0411 103 488 to discuss the fee and current attendance options.

For a snake at a nearby Dean Park property, see our snake removal service in Dean Park and the information to have ready when you call.

A planned neighbourhood with very specific edges

This guide is for a snake at a Colebee address. If the property is in Glendenning, our Glendenning snake-removal guide covers warehouse gates, residential access and reserve entrances there. Give the actual suburb and street address when calling.

Blacktown City Council identifies Stonecutters Ridge Neighbourhood Centre at Ashlar and Stonecutters Drive, and lists Reserve 1010 on Sugarloaf Crescent and Reserve 1012 on Boonah Street. These provide local orientation, not records of snake sightings. Council planning material describes the Colebee release area as housing with open space and the Stonecutters Ridge golf course nearby.

At an individual address, a low retaining wall, side gate, narrow garden strip or pool-pump enclosure can hide a moving animal from view. A newly landscaped lot is not sealed against wildlife. Do not cross a neighbour’s land or a managed open-space boundary to continue watching.

Keep a small-lot sighting contained without cornering it

01

Clear a route for people

Bring children and pets inside by a door that does not take them past the snake. Keep neighbours and visitors out of the affected side path.

02

Leave covers closed

Do not lift a pool cover, pot, timber stack or retaining-wall cap. Do not spray, trap, strike or attempt to handle the animal.

03

Pass on a reliable location

If it disappears, describe the last point seen rather than searching. A catcher can assess accessible places, but may not locate an animal that has left.

A regional species example, not a Colebee record

The Australian Museum describes red-bellied black snakes in wetter habitats, while its eastern brown snake profile covers a species associated with varied open and modified places. Either is regional context, not confirmation of a sighting in Colebee. Colour and a glimpse from a doorway cannot identify an individual reliably.

Two urgent-care pathways

If a person may have been bitten

Call 000 for an ambulance immediately. Keep the person still and calm. For an arm or leg bite, apply a firm pressure-immobilisation bandage over the site and up the limb, then splint it while following ambulance instructions. Do not wash, cut or suck the bite, use a tourniquet or try to catch the snake. Healthdirect’s first-aid advice explains the steps.

Mount Druitt Hospital Emergency Department, 75 Railway Street, Mount Druitt NSW 2770, is a nearby public 24/7 emergency department; main phone (02) 9881 1555. Do not delay the ambulance call to travel there yourself; the service will direct transport.

If a pet may have been bitten

Phone an emergency vet and keep the pet as quiet as possible. VECA Norwest, 7/2 Capital Place, Rouse Hill NSW 2155, is open 24/7 and lists suspected snakebite among its emergency presentations. Call (02) 9129 5800 first to discuss your pet and travel. The practice is independent of Snakes in the City; treatment depends on veterinary assessment.

After the immediate issue

Store garden materials off the ground where practical, keep grass and planting around regular access paths visible, secure pet food and manage rodents. These measures reduce concealment and attractants, not all wildlife movement.

Arrange a licensed response and stay local

Snakes in the City provides professional snake capture and humane relocation across Greater Sydney. See Harley Jones’s background, published field stories and customer reviews on Google. We do not claim a Colebee call-out or sighting without a documented record.

Explore public snake observations around Colebee

Looking for broader wildlife context? The mapped place point for Colebee falls in square D4 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.
