The Snake Diversity of South East Queensland

South East Queensland is home to a rich variety of snake species, thanks to its diverse habitats. These habitats, ranging from lush rainforests to suburban gardens, create an environment where snakes thrive. Understanding these habitats can help you appreciate why snakes are so common in this region.

Habitat Types in SEQ

  1. Rainforests: These areas are characterised by dense vegetation and high humidity, providing excellent cover and abundant food sources for snakes. Rainforest snakes include species like the Carpet Python, which thrives in such environments.
  2. Woodlands: With their scattered trees and underbrush, woodlands offer open hunting grounds for many snakes. Species such as the Eastern Brown Snake can often be found in these habitats, where they hunt for small mammals.
  3. Grasslands: These sunny, open areas are preferred by snakes that enjoy basking. Grasslands support a variety of prey, making them ideal for snakes like the Eastern Brown and other sun-loving species.
  4. Wetlands and Riparian Zones: Areas near water bodies such as rivers, creeks, and wetlands are frequented by snakes due to the abundance of food and moisture. The Red-bellied Black Snake is commonly found in these wet habitats.
  5. Urban and Suburban Areas: As urbanisation encroaches on natural habitats, snakes are increasingly found in gardens, parks, and backyards. These areas offer shelter and food, leading to frequent human-snake interactions.

  3. Legal Compliance: Certain species are protected by law. We adhere to all regulations, ensuring ethical and legal handling of snakes.
