The Snakes of South East Queensland
Ferny Hills, like much of South East Queensland, is home to a variety of snake species due to its diverse landscapes. These creatures thrive in environments ranging from bushland and watercourses to residential areas, making them a frequent sight in the region.
Habitats in Ferny Hills
Ferny Hills offers a mixture of natural and human-modified environments, creating ideal habitats for snakes. Understanding these areas can help you reduce encounters:
- Bushland and Forest Areas: Dense vegetation and plenty of prey make these locations prime habitats for various snake species.
- Creeks and Wetlands: The proximity to water attracts snakes like the Red-bellied Black Snake.
- Suburban Gardens: Backyards and parks provide snakes with shelter and food, especially if there are overgrown areas or clutter.
- Sunny Grasslands: Open spaces are perfect for basking species like the Eastern Brown Snake.
