What makes this page local
Kissing Point Park and Parramatta River, local access and the ground around it
Quiet residential streets slope toward foreshore reserves and sheltered river bays. Around Kissing Point Park and Parramatta River, the mix of fig-lined parks, foreshore plantings, garden cover and creek-side vegetation creates very different shelter and access from a bare, newly cleared block.
Properties here include family homes, waterfront yards, boat ramps and garages. Nominate one safe entry point and one person to meet the catcher; that keeps bystanders from drifting back into the area.
This does not mean a particular species is guaranteed to occur at a particular address. It explains why a catcher needs the actual scene—not a generic suburb assumption.

Questions people ask in the moment
Putney snake removal FAQs
Should I try to identify the snake before calling?
No. Colour and pattern can be misleading, especially at a distance. Keep back and describe only what you can see safely. A zoomed photograph is optional, never worth approaching for.
Can you help at family homes, waterfront yards, boat ramps and garages?
Those are all situations worth explaining on the call. Tell us whether the sighting is indoors or outside, the last reliable location, the safest access and who may be at risk.
What if the snake disappears?
Do not pull apart the hiding place or start a search. Close internal doors if that can be done without approaching, keep people and pets out, and tell the catcher exactly where it was last seen.
What if my pet may have been bitten?
Move yourself and the pet away from the snake without trying to catch it, keep the pet as still as practical and phone a vet immediately. Use the local veterinary contact on this page or the closest open emergency vet.
