Llandilo · rural north-east Penrith
Snake Catcher Llandilo
At a rural home, shed or animal enclosure, the safest first move is to stop approaching the snake. Keep people and animals out of its path and phone Snakes in the City on 0411 103 488. Give the property address, a safe gate and the last-known position. The team will confirm availability; this page does not claim a previous Llandilo call-out.
Suspected human bite? Call 000 for an ambulance before arranging removal.
Make a safe perimeter first
Do not corner, strike, catch or chase a snake. If it moves out of view, do not walk into grass, a paddock or stored equipment to relocate it.
Bring pets and children away from the area only when you can do so without approaching the snake. Leave livestock or penned animals alone if reaching them requires crossing its path.
Tell the catcher the exact address, gate or driveway, whether dogs or other animals are present, and where the snake was last visible.
A rural address is not a suburban front yard
Penrith City Council places Llandilo in its Rural North East precinct. Its Rural Lands Strategy discusses rural living, agriculture and animal-keeping in this part of the city. That does not mean every Llandilo lot has the same use. Council also records Wilson Park at 226 Seventh Avenue as a public playspace; mentioning it helps orient the suburb, not establish a snake sighting there.
Long fence lines, outbuildings, stacked supplies and animal areas can make the last-seen point harder to describe. If the location is behind a locked gate or down a long driveway, say so before anyone arrives. Do not open an enclosure or shift feed, timber or machinery to check beneath it.
Old map labels can mislead
Penrith Council says the central precinct once mapped as Llandilo was formally renamed Jordan Springs in 2019. Give the current property number and suburb, rather than relying only on an older rural lot description or a nearby landmark.
South Creek and the surrounding open-space network are part of council’s broader rural planning context. They are habitat context, not proof of a snake at a particular property.
Four details that reduce an unnecessary search
- Where exactly? Street number and the most reliable driveway or gate; mention a locked gate before dispatch.
- Where last seen? A fixed feature such as the outer shed wall, a trough, a fence post or a doorway. If uncertain, say so.
- Who is nearby? People, dogs, poultry or other animals, and whether they can be moved without crossing the snake’s path.
- What can be reached safely? Say if the area is fenced, muddy, overgrown or beside equipment; do not clear it yourself while the snake may still be there.
These are examples of information to pass to a catcher, not reports of actual Llandilo incidents. Snakes in the City is identified here by Harley Jones and NSW wildlife licence MWL000102655; the caller will be told who is available.
Regional snake context—with the location of the image made clear
The Australian Museum documents eastern brown snakes in the wider eastern Australian landscape. Its red-bellied black snake account describes another regional possibility. Those sources are not Llandilo sighting records. Many snakes vary in colour, so do not identify one from colour alone or move closer for a photo.
The example at right was photographed in Bundeena—not Llandilo. It is included to support general awareness, not to imply a local customer, response or sighting.
If a person may have been bitten
Call 000 and request an ambulance. Healthdirect’s snakebite advice says to keep the person still and calm, apply a pressure-immobilisation bandage to the bitten limb, splint it and record the times. Follow the operator’s instructions. Do not wash the bite, apply a tourniquet, cut or suck it, or try to catch the snake. Symptoms may be delayed; even someone who seems well needs medical assessment. Do not drive the patient unless emergency services direct you.
Emergency destinations: confirm by phone
For a person: Nepean Hospital
Nepean Hospital, Derby Street, Kingswood NSW 2747, has a 24-hour public emergency department. The current public ED entrance is Gate 7, Somerset Street. Hospital information: (02) 4734 2000. A suspected bite still starts with 000, not this switchboard.
For a pet: Nepean Animal Hospital
WellPet’s Nepean Animal Hospital, 50 Mulgoa Road, Regentville NSW, (02) 4733 3456, advertises 24/7 emergency care including public holidays. Phone before travelling to confirm the team can receive the animal and for transport advice. Keep your pet away from the snake; do not bring the snake.
After the area is safe
Once the immediate issue has been handled, look for routine changes that reduce shelter and rodent attractants: contained feed, managed clutter around sheds, and grass maintained where people walk. Do that later, not while an unseen snake may be under materials. No tidy-yard measure guarantees a snake-free rural property.
For additional service information, see the Penrith and Lower Blue Mountains hub and the site’s snake safety guidance. Existing Google reviews describe the business; none is presented here as a documented Llandilo case.

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.
