When snake activity becomes a news story, the public needs practical advice from someone who deals with these situations in the real world. Harley Jones has contributed to television, radio, newspaper and online coverage by explaining snake behaviour, suburban sightings and safe public responses in clear language.

Field experience behind the commentary

Harley has attended homes, schools, sporting grounds, businesses, gardens and difficult-access locations across Greater Sydney. That range gives him direct experience with situations involving Eastern Brown Snakes, Red-bellied Black Snakes, Diamond Pythons, Common Tree Snakes and other local reptiles. He can explain how the surroundings, human behaviour and available escape routes affect each incident.

Turning an alarming story into useful safety information

Responsible commentary does more than name a species. Harley helps audiences understand why they should create distance, keep children and pets away, avoid cornering the animal and watch its location only from a safe position. He can also discuss humane relocation, seasonal activity and the ecological role of native snakes without encouraging viewers to attempt a capture.

Available for Sydney media enquiries

Journalists, presenters and producers can contact Harley for breaking-news context, seasonal safety segments, interviews, background information and educational features about Sydney snakes and reptiles. His goal is to replace speculation with accurate, practical guidance while making it clear that wild snakes should be respected and left to trained handlers.

For a media enquiry or an urgent snake-removal call, phone Harley directly on 0411 103 488 or email snakes@v2.snakesinthecity.com.au.
