Snake safety & awareness
Snakes are cold blooded reptiles. This means that when the weather warms up, snakes become more active and visible as they look for food or a potential mate. This increases the possibility of potential interactions with people throughout areas such as The Hills Shire, Sydney and it’s surrounding areas.
Snakes are regularly sighted in council reserves, residents’ backyards and the wider environment.
Like any wild animal, snakes are to be treated with caution and should be given a wide berth where possible, however, they are not an animal to be feared.
Most snake species are not naturally aggressive and will generally see humans as a threat. Their preference will generally be to retreat from or avoid humans when possible. However, at times, an interaction with a snake may be unavoidable.
When you come across a snake, they may make hissing noises or give warning strikes. Please be mindful that this is usually just defensive behaviour informing you not to come any closer. If you find yourself in a situation where you are unable to avoid an interaction with a snake (i.e. it’s at your feet), stay completely still so it doesn’t see you as a threat.
While some snakes are non-venomous, it is best to treat all snakes you see as potentially venomous and keep your distance. Treat all snake bites as potentially life-threatening and get help immediately by contacting 000 emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions
All native snake and reptile species are protected by law throughout NSW under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. Harming, killing or capturing snakes without formal licenses or approvals is a serious offence.
In a public place or reserve:
- Be alert but not alarmed. Stay as calm as possible and leave the snake alone and back away slowly to a safe distance. Snakes will often prefer to avoid interactions with people where possible.
- Never attempt to capture or kill the snake. Snakes will generally only bite if hurt or provoked and most bites occur when people try to kill or capture snakes.
- Keep pets and children away from the snake.
- Warn others in the area.
- Please report it to council customer service. Council may install temporary signage in the area to help warn others. Council does not capture or relocate snakes.
