Richmond is not just a name in a list.
Richmond is treated as part of our The Hills & Hawkesbury call-out cluster; exact access and current catcher availability are confirmed by phone for every address.
A sighting in a Kellyville garage calls for different access planning from a Dural stable or a Hawkesbury outbuilding. Gate codes, animals and the route to the last sighting belong in the first phone call.

“It was right there a second ago”
Places worth describing—not poking.
The catcher’s search starts from the last reliable sighting. Do not pull these areas apart yourself.
- 01along a shaded creek or dam edge
- 02between sandstone landscaping rocks
- 03under stable mats, feed pallets or tack-room shelving
- 04inside a garage beside stored boxes
- 05beneath a pool pump cover or low platform
Before a catcher sets off
Three useful Richmond questions.
Which gate is usable and is there a code?
What animals must be secured before arrival?
Is the sighting near a dam, stable, worksite or occupied building?
Species context—not a remote identification
Colour is not a safety test.
The region spans open and wet habitats. Eastern brown snakes, red-bellied black snakes and several small species may be encountered; sandstone and treed areas also support pythons.
Take a zoomed photograph only from behind glass or another secure position. Never move closer for identification.
After the immediate problem
Make the property easier to inspect.
No Sydney property can honestly be guaranteed “snake-proof”. These practical steps reduce shelter and make future sightings easier to manage.
- 1Reduce spilled feed and rodent shelter around stables.
- 2Keep fence-line material off the ground.
- 3Use lighting and clear paths for night access.
- 4Check new landscaping and building materials before moving them.
