Frequently Asked Questions
QWhat should I do if I find a snake in my house?
Stay calm and move yourself, children, and pets away from the snake. Do not attempt to catch or kill it. Keep visual contact if safe to do so, and call a licensed snake catcher immediately. Close doors to the room if the snake is contained. Most snakes will try to escape if given the opportunity.
QHow much does snake removal cost in Melbourne?
We don't quote a fixed price online — every job gets a free onsite quote, with no call-out fee to get one. Final cost depends on the property, pest activity, access and treatment scope, confirmed before you book.
QWhat snakes are found in Melbourne?
Common Melbourne snakes include Tiger Snakes (highly venomous, found near water), Eastern Brown Snakes (highly venomous, found in grasslands and gardens), Copperhead Snakes (venomous, found in cooler areas), and non-venomous species like Blue-tongue Lizards (often mistaken for snakes). Never try to identify a snake yourself.
Snake Removal in Melbourne
Melbourne's urban sprawl borders significant bushland and waterway corridors, meaning encounters with snakes are common, particularly in the eastern and southeastern suburbs. Australia is home to some of the world's most venomous snakes, and Melbourne's two most common species - the Tiger Snake and the Eastern Brown Snake - are both potentially lethal. If you find a snake on your property, do not approach it. Call a licensed snake catcher immediately.
Venomous Snakes Found in Melbourne
- Tiger Snake (Notechis scutatus): Victoria's most commonly encountered venomous snake. Dark brown to olive-green with lighter bands. Found near water - creeks, dams, wetlands, and stormwater drains. Highly venomous - can cause death within hours without antivenom
- Eastern Brown Snake (Pseudonaja textilis): Australia's second most venomous snake. Fast-moving, light to dark brown. Found in grasslands, garden beds, sheds, and under building materials. Responsible for the most snakebite deaths in Australia
- Lowland Copperhead (Austrelaps superbus): Found in cooler, wetter areas of Melbourne. Dark brown to black. Less aggressive than Tiger and Brown snakes but still dangerously venomous
What to Do If You See a Snake
- Stop moving. Most snakes strike because they feel threatened by movement
- Back away slowly if you can do so safely
- Do not try to catch or kill it. Most snakebites occur when people attempt to handle or kill snakes
- Keep children and pets away from the area
- Note the location and call a licensed snake catcher immediately
- If bitten: Call 000 immediately, apply a pressure immobilisation bandage, and keep still
Reducing Snake Risk on Your Property
- Keep grass short and gardens tidy - snakes avoid open, exposed areas
- Remove ground cover, wood piles, sheet metal, and building materials
- Control rodent populations - rats and mice attract snakes to your property
- Seal gaps under doors, around pipes, and in the bottom of garage doors
- Keep bird aviaries and chicken coops secure - eggs attract snakes
