Why Are There So Many Snakes in Como?
A Comprehensive Analysis
Como, NSW 2226, is a picturesque riverside suburb in the Sutherland Shire. With its waterfront parks, leafy streets, and close-knit community, it’s a popular spot for families. But Como’s natural setting—bordered by the Georges River, wetlands, and large bushland reserves—makes it an ideal habitat for snakes.
Geographical and Demographic Overview:
📍 Proximity to Bushland & River Systems – Como is surrounded by natural corridors including the Georges River, Scylla Bay, and surrounding reserves, which provide prime conditions for snakes.🌿
Bushland Coverage – The suburb retains large tracts of bushland, creating perfect shelter and hunting grounds.
🏡 Housing Density – Family homes with gardens, sheds, and roof spaces give snakes easy hiding spots close to people.
Snake Relocation Data:
Recent data from Como shows the most commonly relocated snake species:
🐍 Common Tree Snake (63%) – Harmless, active during the day, and often spotted darting through gardens and shrubs.
🐍 Red-Bellied Black Snake (37%) – A highly venomous snake, usually found near water sources such as creeks, backyards, and wetlands.
Factors Contributing to Snake Presence:
1️⃣ Location & Habitat
🔹 Riverfront setting with bushland and reserves.
🔹 Gardens, sheds, and leafy backyards offer perfect hiding spots.
2️⃣ Abundant Food Sources
🔹 Rats, frogs, and lizards attract both venomous and non-venomous species.
🔹 Diamond Pythons play a key role in controlling rat populations.
3️⃣ Seasonal Activity
🔹 Most active in warmer months for hunting and breeding.
🔹 Storms and hot days often drive snakes into garages, houses, and shaded spots.
Recommendations for Residents:
✅ Keep yards tidy – Trim overgrown vegetation and reduce clutter.

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.
