The Orange Snake Service owner said snakes are commonly found in built up and residential areas, and often hide-out around loose ground cover, holes and gaps underneath concrete slabs or around overgrown vegetation or grass.

"I commonly get calls from people living on the outskirts of Orange like Clifton Grove and North Orange," he said.

"This is because those areas are quite close to the snakes' habitat. I will get a phone call to catch a snake in the CBD but it is very rare."

Mr Hansen said he commonly finds Highland Copperhead and Eastern Brown snakes in Orange.

"Both of those species are highly venomous," he said.

"But I have also found Red Belly Black snakes in Clifton Grove and Ophir and Tiger snakes closer to Bathurst."

Upon catching a snake, Mr Hansen added he releases them back into nature.

"I release the snake five kilometers away from the captured site and I put a lot of thought into where the snake will live to benefit it and people," he said. "I keep a log book of what has been caught and released.

"Snakes present as a low risk threat in comparison to what people do in their everyday life and I think it comes down to people not having a great knowledge and understanding about it."

Mr Hansen said installing weather strips or seals under all doors and ensuring bird seed, compost, chicken feed or any other rodent attractants aren't left around are key ways to keep your property snake safe.

He said those who live in snake prone areas should remain vigilant.

"Snakes typically breed during spring time so the males snakes will be a bit more active and travel to different spots while they look for a female partner," he added. "But during summer, they won't breed because it will be too hot for them."

Mr Hansen also said depending on the year he will catch between 70 to 100 snakes.

"I have been catching snakes in Orange for four years because I have an interest in reptiles," he said.

"I would like people to understand snakes don't pose as a risk because they don't bite unless it's necessary."
