City of Stirling Handy Services Guide

professional wildlife removal service to come and remove it. If sighted in a natural area, leave it alone as it is within its rightful habitat. If you come across a snake in a park or beach, back away and leave it alone as it is likely to be making its way back to a natural area.  Tiger Snakes can swim and their preferred habitat is in lake and wetland environments. However, they could make their way onto surrounding parkland or sun themselves on a footpath or walking track around lakes and wetlands. The City installs ‘Caution Snake Sighted in this Reserve’ signs in reserves, parks, beaches and natural areas and sites where snakes have previously been sighted.
