Stay well back, keep an eye on the snake from a safe distance if you can do so without approaching it, and call a licensed snake catcher straight away. Don't try to move, trap, or spray it yourself, as most snake bites happen when people try to handle or kill a snake themselves. Newcastle Snake Control offers genuine 24/7 callouts across Newcastle and the Hunter Region for exactly this situation.
No, it's not recommended, even if the snake looks harmless. Many of the region's venomous species, like the Eastern Brown Snake, are hard to correctly identify at a glance, and most bites occur during attempted capture or handling. A licensed snake catcher can identify and relocate the snake safely without unnecessary risk to you, your family, or pets.
Cost depends on the situation, including location, time of day, and how accessible the snake is. Newcastle Snake Control gives honest, upfront advice over the phone before any charge is made, so you know what to expect before committing to a callout.
