Snakes Around Kingscliff

Snakes in the Neighbourhood

Kingscliff backs onto bush and wetlands, so snakes wander through from time to time. You’ll usually see carpet pythons or green tree snakes sunning themselves, but a red-bellied black snake isn’t unheard of.

If you spot one, resist the urge to play hero. Snakes move on if left alone and they’re protected wildlife in New South Wales.

Spotting Local Species

A few quick IDs for curious locals:

Carpet python – large, non-venomous and fond of roof spaces.
Green tree snake – bright, harmless and fast.
Red-bellied black snake – venomous but shy; usually near creeks.

If you’re ever unsure, snap a photo from a safe distance and send it to a catcher for ID.

Call me on 0405 508 035 for general pest control, but hit up the folks above if there’s a snake in the way.
