Snake Catcher Kallangur
Professional snake removal and safety advice for Brisbane's Kallangur suburb.
About Kallangur
Kallangur is one of the older established suburbs in the Pine Rivers district, bounded on its eastern side by the North Pine River floodplain and its associated drainage creek system. Unlike the newer greenfield estates further north, Kallangur has mature gardens, large trees, and decades of garden waste and rock accumulation that provide extensive snake shelter. The railway corridor running through the suburb creates a linear bushland strip that functions as a movement pathway connecting the river floodplain to the inland parts of the suburb. Eastern brown snakes and carpet pythons are the species most commonly called out in Kallangur, with activity concentrated in the older garden belts bordering the creek drainage lines.
