Snake Catcher Cherrybrook

In Cherrybrook, a snake may be noticed where established gardens meet retaining walls, drainage or pool equipment. Keep children and pets indoors while maintaining a safe line of sight.

When calling from Cherrybrook, explain whether the animal is indoors or outside, whether it remains visible, and whether children, pets, customers, livestock or workers are nearby. Harley can then assess the immediate risk and the safest access.

Local settings include leafy residential blocks, creek corridors, schools, large gardens, retaining walls and pool equipment areas. The priority is not to search each space; it is to keep the immediate area clear and preserve safe access.

For acreage and semi-rural attendances, identify the safest gate, nearest building and any livestock or machinery before Harley arrives.

• leafy residential blocks: Do not place hands, tools or cameras into gaps around leafy residential blocks; report only what you can see safely.
• creek corridors: If the snake travels toward creek corridors, note which side it entered and leave the area undisturbed.
• schools: Use schools as a landmark when explaining the last known position; do not move closer to inspect it.
• large gardens: Tell Harley whether large gardens is open, enclosed, elevated or difficult to access from the street.
• retaining walls: Keep people and pets away from retaining walls until the sighting has been assessed.
• pool equipment areas: Identify the safest gate, path or building entrance leading toward pool equipment areas without approaching the animal.

A sighting does not establish that there is a nest or more than one snake. Avoid assumptions about species, numbers or where the animal has gone; preserve the last reliable observation instead.

• Create several metres of distance without sudden movement or noise.
• Move bystanders away from the Cherrybrook sighting without creating a crowd.
• Keep visual contact only while you can remain on stable, open ground.
• Never touch, trap, corner, poke or attempt to kill the snake.
• If someone may have been bitten, call Triple Zero (000) immediately and follow the operator’s instructions.

Licensed work in Cherrybrook is completed by Harley Jones, an experienced wildlife relocator operating under NSW General Licence MWL000102655.

Equipment and positioning are selected for the actual Cherrybrook setting, with safe capture and humane relocation as the objective.

If the snake has left leafy residential blocks or cannot be located, capture cannot be guaranteed. Harley will explain what was checked and what should happen next. Read about Harley’s training and experience or review the Greater Sydney snake-removal process.
