A local note
Retail loading areas and family yards share the district
Loading docks, landscaped centres, pool yards and construction stock all need different access and crowd control.
For the wider service context, see our Blacktown snake removal guide and the Blacktown and Western Sydney service area. This page covers the access and safety details specific to Narellan.
PET EMERGENCY CONTACTS
Pet help to keep handy in Narellan
A snake sighting and a suspected pet bite are two separate emergencies. Call the catcher about the snake; call Camden Valley Animal Hospital or the 24-hour hospital below about the animal without waiting for symptoms.

If the snake is still visible
Move customers, children and workers away and stop vehicle or forklift movements in the immediate area.
Do not touch, trap, corner or try to kill the snake. Bring children and pets away and call a trained reptile handler.
Snakes and habitat around Narellan
River and creek margins can suit red-bellied black snakes, while grassland, construction edges and semi-rural ground can suit eastern brown snakes. Pythons may be encountered around wooded edges and sheltered structures. Treat these as broad habitat associations only.
Eastern brown snake
May use open ground, grass margins, disturbed land and places where rodents are active.
Do not use this as an ID: Colour varies widely; a brown or grey snake cannot be identified safely by colour.
Australian Museum species guide ↗Red-bellied black snake
Often associated with wetter habitat such as creeks, drains, wetlands and dam margins.
Do not use this as an ID: The red or pink flank may be hidden from view, especially from above.
Australian Museum species guide ↗Diamond python
Can use mature trees, roof spaces, thick gardens, rockwork and sheltered structures.
Do not use this as an ID: Do not approach because a pattern appears familiar; large pythons can still defend themselves.

PET SAFETY / DETAILS CHECKED 28 AUGUST 2026
A nearby veterinary contact
For Narellan pet owners, the first listing is a practical general veterinary contact. The second is a continuously staffed emergency hospital for times when the local clinic is closed or directs you onward.
Open six days at the time checked; its site lists after-hours referrals.
The hospital states that its emergency service is open 24/7, including public holidays.
The general clinic was selected as a practical option from the centre of Narellan. Street location, traffic, opening hours and triage can change what is most suitable, so phone before travelling.
Independent contact information only. Snake Catcher Sydney Wide is not affiliated with these veterinary providers. In a life-threatening pet emergency, follow the veterinary team's instructions immediately.
Getting to the right spot
Give the centre dock, business unit, estate stage or residential driveway and nominate one contact.
Let us know whether the snake is inside or outside, whether a gate or door is locked and whether animals are still on the property.
What we'll ask when you ring
We will ask where the snake was last seen, what sort of property it is and the safest place to meet you. An existing photo can be useful, but nobody should move closer to take one. Once we know the situation, we can give you an honest indication of availability and travel time.
After the snake has gone
Keep loading and waste areas clean, raise stock and clear building leftovers after the site is safe.
No property can be completely snake-proof. The practical aim is better visibility, fewer hiding places and less food for rodents, without harming native wildlife.
Call 000 immediately. Keep the person still and calm, apply a pressure immobilisation bandage, and do not wash, cut or suck the bite. Follow the emergency operator and Healthdirect guidance ↗.
Questions people ask
Answers for Narellan
Can you attend a Narellan shopping or business site?
Yes. Centre or site management should isolate the area and provide the exact service entrance.
Do I need pest control or a snake catcher?
If you are searching for pest control or pest removal because you have found a snake, contact a licensed snake catcher directly. A pest-control business that does not provide licensed snake handling may need to refer your call, adding a step and potentially delaying arrangements. Some pest controllers also offer licensed snake catching; ask whether they can arrange an appropriately licensed handler. Keep people and pets away and call Snake Catcher Sydney Wide to confirm the fee, availability and estimated arrival.
Can I call late at night in Narellan?
Yes. Calls from Narellan are taken day and night, including weekends and public holidays. We will confirm current availability and likely travel time when you ring.
What is the most useful detail to give you?
Tell us exactly where the snake was last seen and whether it is inside or outside. Give the centre dock, business unit, estate stage or residential driveway and nominate one contact.
