Professional snake removal and safety advice for Brisbane's Griffin suburb.

About Griffin

Griffin is one of Brisbane's newest suburbs, developed rapidly from the mid-2000s across land immediately adjacent to North Pine Country Park and the North Pine Dam catchment. The suburb's master-planned layout incorporates a network of retention lakes and drainage waterways that thread through nearly every estate — these water corridors are precisely the pathways that snakes use to move between the park boundary and residential blocks. Properties on the northern and western fringe of Griffin back directly onto country park bushland, meaning eastern browns and carpet pythons have an uninterrupted route from dam-edge habitat into backyards. Griffin consistently records some of the highest snake callout rates in the Pine Rivers area.

Common Snake Species in Griffin

Carpet Python (Non-Venomous)

Among the most frequently encountered snakes in Griffin homes and structures. Carpet pythons are non-venomous constrictors known for their calm temperament. They commonly shelter in roof spaces, sheds, garages, and garden structures throughout the suburb.

Eastern Brown Snake (Venomous)

Highly venomous snakes commonly found in Griffin's open spaces, gardens, and areas with debris or compost piles. They are active hunters, especially during warmer months, and can be quick-moving and defensive if threatened.

Identification: Uniform brown, tan, or reddish coloration. Slender body, medium size.

Red-Bellied Black Snake (Moderately Venomous)

Shy snakes that prefer areas with water and vegetation. Generally non-aggressive and will move away if given space. Occasionally found in Griffin gardens near water features, drainage areas, or wetland vegetation.

Why Snakes Appear in Griffin

Snakes in Griffin appear for natural survival reasons. Common causes include:

  • •North Pine Country Park forms the western boundary — eastern browns and pythons regularly cross from park bushland into adjoining residential blocks
  • •Estate retention lakes and drainage waterways connect nearly every street to the broader North Pine Dam catchment, providing covered movement corridors
  • •Development fringe constantly pushes into former bushland, displacing resident snakes into established parts of the suburb
  • •Water-edge vegetation along the lake network supports high frog and lizard populations that attract red-bellied black snakes and pythons
