Whitehorse has a few areas where snakes may be found living naturally. Generally these areas are near waterways. Snakes are relatively uncommon in the suburbs but on hot days, it is worthwhile keeping an eye out for them.
The types of snakes that may be found are the Red-bellied Black Snake, Lowland Copperhead and the Tiger Snake. All three of these species are venomous and must be treated with respect. If you see a snake in a bush-land area, slowly walk away and leave it be.
