Habitat Types in Herston

Herston’s diverse environment provides the perfect blend of natural habitats that snakes thrive in. Understanding these habitats can help residents coexist peacefully with local wildlife:

  1. Urban Gardens Many snakes are drawn to residential gardens that provide shelter, food, and water. Overgrown vegetation, rock piles, and garden ponds often become hotspots for species like the Keelback Snake and Common Tree Snake.
  2. Creekside Areas The water features running through and near Herston create an ideal habitat for aquatic and semi-aquatic snakes, such as the Keelback and Golden-Crowned Snake. These areas are also rich in prey like frogs and small fish.
  3. Wooded Patches and Bushland The pockets of bushland around Herston offer excellent cover for snakes. These areas are frequented by species such as the Eastern Brown Snake and Eastern Small-Eyed Snake, which prefer undisturbed environments.
  4. Climbing-Friendly Zones With its mature trees and fences, Herston is a playground for climbing species like the Brown Tree Snake and Common Tree Snake. These snakes are often found resting on branches or exploring rooftops in search of food.
  5. Urban Infrastructure Surprisingly, urban features like drains, sheds, and garages also serve as shelters for snakes seeking refuge from predators and extreme weather. Regular inspections can prevent unwelcome encounters in these spaces.

By understanding the specific habitats within Herston, our team can tailor strategies to safely remove snakes and mitigate future interactions.
