Why Are There So Many Snakes in Burraneer?
A Comprehensive Analysis
Burraneer, NSW 2230, is a leafy suburb bordered by the Port Hacking River, with large residential properties, landscaped gardens, and surrounding pockets of bushland. Its unique mix of natural and residential environments creates ideal conditions for native reptiles, including snakes.
Geographical and Demographic Overview:
📍 Proximity to Waterways & Bushland – Burraneer sits on a peninsula surrounded by Port Hacking, with easy access to bushland corridors. These environments provide shelter, food, and water sources that attract snakes.
🌿 Backyard Gardens & Green Spaces – Well-maintained gardens, ponds, and landscaped yards create habitats that mimic natural environments.
🏡 Low to Medium Housing Density – Large blocks and leafy backyards increase opportunities for snakes to find shelter in sheds, retaining walls, and under houses.
Snake Relocation Data:
Recent data from Burraneer shows the most commonly relocated snake species:
🐍 Red-Bellied Black Snake (34%) – A highly venomous snake often found near waterways, ponds, and gardens. Generally shy but should never be approached.
🐍 Diamond Python (33%) – A large, non-venomous python frequently found in trees, sheds, and roof spaces. Beneficial as it helps control rat populations.
🐍 Blackish Blind Snake (33%) – A small, harmless burrowing snake that lives underground and feeds on ants and termites. Rarely seen but occasionally uncovered in gardens.
Factors Contributing to Snake Presence:
1️⃣ Location & Habitat
🔹 Surrounded by water and bushland edges that support snake populations.
🔹 Residential landscaping provides alternative shelter and hunting grounds.
2️⃣ Abundant Food Sources
🔹 Rats, frogs, and lizards attract both pythons and venomous snakes.
🔹 Termites and ants sustain populations of blind snakes.
3️⃣ Seasonal Activity
🔹 Snakes are most active during warmer months when they are hunting and breeding.
🔹 After rain or storms, snakes may be displaced and seek shelter in homes or garages.
Recommendations for Residents:
✅ Maintain gardens – Cut back overgrown vegetation and remove debris piles.
✅ Secure entry points – Seal gaps under doors, garages, and around pipes.
✅ Be mindful outdoors – Stay alert when gardening, walking near bushland, or accessing waterfront areas.
✅ Call a professional – Never try to handle a snake yourself. Always contact a licensed snake catcher.

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.
