Murrumba Downs, with its riverside charm and natural reserves, offers a unique environment for both residents and wildlife. Our goal is to ensure your home remains a safe and stress-free space while respecting the vital role snakes play in our ecosystem.

Snakes and Murrumba Downs: A Natural Intersection

Murrumba Downs is a thriving community surrounded by the lush banks of the North Pine River and the green spaces of Griffin and Kallangur. These features make it a perfect habitat for many species of native snakes. As suburban development expands into these natural areas, snake sightings are becoming more common.

Our role is to act as a bridge between humans and wildlife, ensuring that snakes are removed safely while preserving the ecological harmony of our region.

Why Murrumba Downs Sees Snakes

Snakes are an integral part of the natural food chain, and their presence indicates a healthy ecosystem. Here’s why they might visit your property:

• Proximity to Water: The North Pine River attracts a variety of prey, which in turn draws snakes.
• Vegetation and Shelter: Overgrown gardens, compost heaps, and rock piles provide excellent hiding spots.
• Warmer Weather: During the warmer months, snakes are more active and may seek out warm surfaces or shaded shelters.

Understanding these dynamics can help homeowners manage encounters more effectively.

Snake Encounters: Dos and Don’ts

DO

• Keep a safe distance from the snake.
• Monitor the snake’s location while waiting for help.
• Keep children and pets indoors.
• Call Snake Catcher Murrumba Downs for professional removal.

DON’T

• Attempt to catch or kill the snake.
• Corner or provoke the snake.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure both your safety and the snake’s welfare.

Preserving Balance: The Role of Snakes in Nature

Snakes often get a bad reputation, but their presence is vital for a balanced ecosystem. They help control populations of pests, such as rodents and insects, which can cause damage to crops, gardens, and even infrastructure.

At Snake Catcher Murrumba Downs, we emphasise the importance of humane snake removal and relocation. By protecting these reptiles, we’re also safeguarding the health of our local environment.
