Why Are There So Many Snakes in Bundeena?
A Comprehensive Analysis
Bundeena, NSW 2230, is a unique coastal suburb in the Sutherland Shire. Surrounded by the Royal National Park and bordered by the waters of Port Hacking, it’s a sought-after area for its natural beauty, beachside lifestyle, and outdoor activities. But with this bush-meets-ocean environment comes frequent encounters with native reptiles — especially snakes.
Geographical and Demographic Overview:
🌊 Coastal & Bushland Location – Bundeena sits on the edge of the Royal National Park, one of the largest protected natural areas in Sydney. This creates prime habitat for snakes.
🌿 Thick Vegetation – The suburb has extensive bushland, walking tracks, and reserves where snakes can shelter, hunt, and breed.
🏡 Residential Setting – Homes with gardens, compost piles, and sheds provide warm hiding places, particularly after rain or during the hotter months.
💧 Water Sources – Natural creeks, wetlands, and coastal edges support a high population of frogs, fish, and lizards, which attract snakes.
Snake Relocation Data:
Based on recorded sightings and relocations:
🐍 Red-Bellied Black Snake (38%) – Highly venomous but generally shy. Often spotted near creeks, wetlands, and damp backyards.
🐍Diamond Python (27%) – Non-venomous, commonly found in sheds, garages, and even roofs. Excellent for controlling rat populations.
🐍Eastern Brown Snake (11%) – Highly venomous and fast-moving. Less common than other species but a serious risk when encountered.
🐍Common Tree Snake (10%) – Harmless and non-venomous. Agile climber often seen in gardens or trees.
🐍Golden-Crowned Snake (4%) – Mildly venomous, secretive, and usually active at night.
🐍Marsh Snake (2%) – Venomous but less dangerous than browns. Typically found in damp areas.
🐍Brown Tree Snake (2%) – Venomous but rarely life-threatening. Arboreal and often seen at night.
🐍Yellow-Faced Whip Snake (2%) – Mildly venomous, extremely fast, and often mistaken for more dangerous snakes.
🐍Yellow-Bellied Sea Snake (2%) – A rare visitor, highly venomous, usually seen washed ashore or near tidal areas.
🐍Bandy Bandy (2%) – A secretive, burrowing snake that feeds mostly on blind snakes. Mildly venomous but rarely encountered.
Factors Contributing to Snake Presence:
1️⃣ Royal National Park Habitat – Vast protected bushland right on the suburb’s doorstep makes Bundeena a hotspot for wildlife, including snakes.
2️⃣ Abundant Food Sources – Frogs, fish, lizards, and rats are plentiful, attracting snakes close to homes and gardens.
3️⃣ Seasonal Activity – Encounters increase during spring and summer when snakes are breeding and on the move.
4️⃣ Coastal Lifestyle – Locals who enjoy bushwalking, kayaking, or gardening are more likely to encounter snakes in natural areas.
Recommendations for Residents:
✅ Stay aware outdoors – Take care near bush tracks, reserves, and waterways.
✅ Maintain your yard – Keep lawns short and clear away piles of debris where snakes may shelter.
✅ Snake-proof your home – Seal gaps under doors and around sheds.
✅ Don’t interfere – All snakes are protected in NSW. Never attempt to kill or capture one.
✅ Call a licensed snake catcher – If you see a snake on your property, keep your distance and get professional help.

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.
