Snakes in Suburban Brisbane: Understanding Their Abundance

Suburban Brisbane, with its warm climate and lush environment, is a prime habitat for snakes. Understanding why snakes are so prevalent in this area can help residents coexist more comfortably with them.

Factors contributing to snake abundance in Brisbane include:

  • Climate: Brisbane’s subtropical climate provides a perfect environment for snakes. The warm temperatures and high humidity levels support a variety of snake species.
  • Habitat: The mix of urban and natural environments offers abundant shelter and food sources for snakes. Gardens, parks, and bushland areas provide ideal habitats.
  • Food sources: Suburban areas often have a high availability of prey such as rodents, birds, and insects, which attract snakes.

By understanding these factors, we can take proactive steps to minimise unwanted encounters and live peacefully alongside our native wildlife.

Living in Peace with Snakes: Tips for a Harmonious Coexistence

While the idea of living alongside snakes may be unsettling for some, it’s important to remember that they play a vital role in the ecosystem. Here are some practical tips to help you coexist safely and peacefully with snakes in suburban Brisbane:

  1. Secure Your Property:
  • Seal entry points: Ensure that gaps and holes in walls, doors, and windows are sealed to prevent snakes from entering your home.
  • Maintain your garden: Keep your garden tidy by regularly mowing the lawn, trimming bushes, and removing piles of debris where snakes may hide.
  • Secure compost bins: Ensure that compost bins and garbage areas are secure and do not attract rodents, which can in turn attract snakes.
  1. Reduce Attractants:
  • Control pests: Implement measures to control rodent populations, as they are a primary food source for many snake species.
  • Secure pet food: Keep pet food indoors or in sealed containers to avoid attracting rodents and snakes.
  • Water sources: Minimise standing water in your garden, which can attract both snakes and their prey.
  1. Stay Informed and Prepared:
  • Learn about local snakes: Familiarise yourself with the common snake species in your area, their behavior, and how to identify them.
  • Educate your family: Teach your family members, especially children, about snake safety and what to do if they encounter a snake.
  • Have a plan: Know who to call and what steps to take in case of a snake sighting. Having Snake Catcher Albion’s contact information handy can save valuable time.
