Snakes in South East Queensland (SEQ)

South East Queensland’s unique combination of diverse habitats makes it a haven for a wide variety of snake species. From dense rainforests to open woodlands, urban parks to suburban gardens, SEQ offers the perfect environment for snakes to thrive. Some commonly encountered snakes in the region include:

  • Eastern Brown Snake: Highly venomous and often found in rural and urban areas.
  • Red-bellied Black Snake: Venomous but generally less aggressive, commonly seen near water bodies.
  • Carpet Python: Non-venomous and frequently found in suburban gardens and roofs.
  • Green Tree Snake: Harmless and often spotted in backyards and bushes.

The Role of Habitats in Snake Abundance

SEQ’s varied landscapes contribute significantly to the abundance of snakes in suburban areas. The region’s mixture of natural and human-modified environments provides ample food sources, shelter, and breeding grounds for snakes. The interplay between these habitats and urban expansion means that encounters between humans and snakes are not uncommon.

  1. Rainforests: Dense vegetation and a moist environment create ideal conditions for many snake species. These areas offer abundant food sources like small mammals, birds, and amphibians.
  2. Woodlands: Open woodlands with scattered trees provide excellent hunting grounds for snakes. These habitats support a variety of prey, including rodents and lizards.
  3. Grasslands: These areas are perfect for snakes that prefer open, sunny spaces. Grasslands support populations of small mammals and insects, which attract snakes.
  4. Wetlands and Riparian Zones: Snakes are often found near water bodies such as rivers, creeks, and wetlands. These areas provide a rich source of food and are frequented by species like the Red-bellied Black Snake.
  5. Urban and Suburban Areas: Gardens, parks, and even backyards offer food and shelter for snakes. Urbanisation creates pockets of suitable habitats where snakes can thrive, often leading to increased human-snake encounters.
