Why Are There So Many Snakes in Bonnet Bay?
A Comprehensive Analysis
Bonnet Bay, NSW 2226, is a quiet riverside suburb in the Sutherland Shire. Nestled along the Woronora River and surrounded by bushland reserves, it’s a peaceful community known for its leafy streets and family-friendly lifestyle. But with its natural charm comes a thriving population of native reptiles — including snakes
Geographical and Demographic Overview:
📍 Riverside Location – Bonnet Bay is bordered by the Woronora River, which creates natural corridors where snakes can move and hunt.
🌿 Bushland Reserves – Almost a quarter of the suburb is covered by reserves and parks such as The Glen Reserve and Koolangarra Bushland Reserve. These areas provide excellent habitat and shelter for snakes.
🏡 Residential Layout – Family homes with gardens, large yards, and sheds make perfect hiding places for snakes, particularly during hot weather or after storms.
Snake Relocation Data:
Residents in Bonnet Bay most commonly report the following species:
🐍Common Tree Snake (50%) – Harmless and non-venomous. Fast-moving and often seen climbing in gardens or trees.
🐍Red-Bellied Black Snake (20%) – Highly venomous but generally shy. Often found along creeks, damp backyards, or near the river.
🐍Yellow-Faced Whip Snake (20%) – A slender, mildly venomous snake. Very fast and often mistaken for the dangerous Eastern Brown.
🐍Diamond Python (10%) – Non-venomous. Commonly found in sheds, garages, and even roofs. Plays an important role in controlling rat populations.
Factors Contributing to Snake Presence:
1️⃣ Natural Habitat – The river and surrounding reserves provide the perfect environment for snakes to thrive.
2️⃣ Food Supply – Frogs, lizards, and rats are abundant, drawing both venomous and non-venomous snakes closer to homes.
3️⃣ Seasonal Activity – Snakes are most active during spring and summer, especially after rainfall or during breeding season.
4️⃣ Bushland Lifestyle – Residents enjoy outdoor living and bushwalking, which naturally increases the chance of encounters.
Recommendations for Residents:
✅ Keep gardens tidy – Trim thick vegetation and keep lawns short to reduce hiding places.
✅ Secure your home – Seal gaps under doors, around pipes, and in sheds or garages.
✅ Be alert outdoors – Take care when gardening, walking near reserves, or along the river.
✅ Leave snakes alone – All snakes are protected in NSW. Never try to catch or kill them.
✅ Call an expert – If you see a snake, keep your distance and contact a licensed professional.

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.
