Why Are There So Many Snakes in Bangor?
A Comprehensive Analysis
Bangor, NSW, is a quiet bushland suburb in the Sutherland Shire. With its unique mix of residential housing, dense natural reserves, and proximity to rivers, it provides the perfect environment for snakes to thrive.
Geographical and Demographic Overview:
📍 Bushland Proximity – Bangor is surrounded by native bush and green corridors, with the Georges and Woronora Rivers on its borders. This allows snakes to move easily between natural habitat and suburban backyards.
🌿 Bushland Coverage – Over 70% of Bangor is zoned for environmental conservation or environmental living, meaning homes are often built right alongside bushland.
🏡 Population & Housing Density – Home to about 5,500 residents, Bangor features mostly detached houses with large yards, increasing the chance of human–snake encounters.
Snake Relocation Data:
Recent data from Bangor shows the most commonly relocated snake species in the area:
🐍Diamond Python (45%) – Non-venomous and calm, these snakes often live in roofs, trees, and sheds. They play a vital role in controlling rat and possum populations.
🐍 Red-Bellied Black Snake (20%) – A highly venomous but generally shy species, often found near damp areas, creeks, and gardens.
🐍 Common Tree Snake (10%) – Harmless and very fast, often seen in trees, fences, and gardens.
🐍 Eastern Brown Snake (7%) – Highly venomous and more likely to be found in open grassy yards and bush tracks.
🐍 Golden-Crowned Snake (6%) – A small, nocturnal snake that hides under rocks, logs, and leaf litter. Mildly venomous but not considered dangerous.
🐍 Yellow-Faced Whip Snake (5%) – A quick, slender snake that is mildly venomous but poses little risk to humans.
🐍 Brown Tree Snake (3%) – Nocturnal and mildly venomous, known for climbing and occasionally entering houses.
🐍 Blackish Blind Snake (3%) – Harmless, worm-like burrowing snake that feeds on ants and termites.
🐍 Marsh Snake (1%) – A smaller venomous species often found in damp, grassy environments.
Factors Contributing to Snake Presence:
1️⃣ Location & Habitat
🔹 Bushland reserves and waterways provide ideal snake habitats.
🔹 Natural corridors connect directly with residential areas.
2️⃣ Abundant Food Sources
🔹 High populations of rats, birds, and frogs attract snakes.
🔹 Diamond Pythons in particular are vital for rodent control.
3️⃣ Seasonal Activity
🔹 Snakes are most active in spring and summer when seeking food and mates.
🔹 Rain often drives them into yards, garages, and even roofs for shelter.
Recommendations for Residents:
✅ Keep your yard tidy – Trim vegetation, clear woodpiles, and reduce hiding spots.
✅ Secure your home – Seal gaps under doors, sheds, and around pipes.
✅ Stay aware – Be cautious when gardening, walking near bushland, or by the river.
✅ Call a professional – Never attempt to handle a snake yourself. Always contact a licensed snake catcher.

Absolutely not! It is extremely important that you do not attempt to catch the snake yourself. Please leave this to the professionals, to avoid any risk of being bitten and/or seriously injured.
No. Please keep small children and pets away from wherever you saw the snake in your home/property, until it has been safely captured.
If you have been bitten by a venomous snake, it is crucial to take immediate action! Here are some recommendations:
1. Stay Calm: Panicking increases your heart rate, which can cause the venom to spread quicker.
2. Seek Medical Attention: Call emergency services or go to the nearest hospital as soon as possible. Do not attempt to drive yourself!
3. Keep Bite Area Immobilized: Immobilizing the bitten limb can slow down the spread of venom to other parts of the body.
4. Remove Constrictive Items: Snakebite swelling can progress rapidly, so remove any constrictive items, such as; rings, bracelets, or tight clothing near the bite site.
5. Do Not Apply a Tourniquet: Contrary to popular belief, applying a tourniquet, or restricting blood flow, is not recommended and can cause more harm than good.
6. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water! Avoid alcohol, caffeine, or other substances that can increase heart rate and blood flow.
7. Observe and Describe the Snake: If possible, try to remember the look of the snake that bit you. This information can help healthcare professionals determine the appropriate antivenom for treatment.
