Anthem | 85086 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Western diamondback in backyard near grill area. This is somehow the first snake in 5-10 years in their backyard. Two brothers who live together. There is snake fencing that came with the house that looks unprofessional with many gaps and not adhered to the wall on the view fencing. Concrete block wall on the side of the house with one side gate (bricks piled underneath the side gate in an attempt to keep critters out). They would love a fencing quote as soon as possible. |

Scottsdale | 85255 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Homeowners were having a FIFA soccer party when they saw a rattlesnake on their porch. They watched it go into a hole in their outdoor fridge and barbecue cabinets. After finally obtaining the snake, I found a packrat nest underneath these cabinets and lots of rat poop. They have had snakes before but did not want to have this problem anymore. They are very interested in rattlesnake fencing as soon as possible. One of the party goers said they got their fencing through us and vouched that it works perfectly. |

Marana | 85658 | Sonoran Gophersnake | The snake was on the front porch. Ask the homeowner if they wished to keep said snake. Homeowner declined the offer. Released the Gopher snake into a deep pack rat burrow by a tree about 1/8 of a mile. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner was out back with her dogs when she heard them bark and then a rattle. Some are snake-trained and some aren’t but she was able to get everyone inside safely. The snake then moved under some nearby cover from a bench and that’s where I grabbed it. The yard is large but not a lot of hiding spots. She did say she thought she heard a rattle yesterday by the pool equipment. The home is really close to a lot of desert. |

Scottsdale | 85266 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The new homeowner said their pool guy saw the snake yesterday under the pool heater and the homeowners hoped it would leave overnight but it was still there this afternoon. When I got there I could see part of the snakes body poking out from underneath the heater, once I started to coax it out a second snake came out the other side. I got that one in the bucket and tried again with the first snake. The remaining one was clearly a gravid female and she wedged herself underneath there really good. I used water to try and flood her out while using my hook and eventually was able to grab her. This yard backs up to desert and the snakes had a perfect spot under the pool heater where the dirt was already damp and it was shaded and cool. The previous homeowners did their own snake fencing but it was old and had many gaps. There was also two holes in the wall surrounding the pool heater units that lead out to the desert. The yard is mostly open but there were a few other spots where a snake could hunker down in the future. They are interested in fencing. |

Phoenix | 85085 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Security from WL Gore called about a rattlesnake on their property. When I arrived the Western Diamondback was slithering through the parking lot, looking pretty lost. The area is surrounded by desert but is undergoing development so the animals are likely being displaced at this point. |

Scottsdale | 85255 | Longnosed Snake | Security guard at an apartment complex called about a tenant who said they had a “small black and white snake” in their apartment. They were able to contain it in the corner of the living room by placing a small pot over it. When I arrived I found the Longnosed Snake under the pot. The front door had gaps that the young snake could easily fit through. What was most impressive though is that this apartment was on the second floor, about 20ft up. Not quite sure how the little one managed that but either way, impressive. |

Paradise Valley | 85253 | Sonoran Gophersnake | The homeowners contacted us after seeing a gopher snake on the driveway of their Paradise Valley home. It was a warm and rainy night, and I did not expect to find the snake after the 45-minute drive. When I arrived, the homeowners were more concerned about me searching the property for additional snakes. It was a large, wide-open property with very little landscaping, except around the perimeter wall, so it was easy to search. There were several gates between the front and back yards, all of which had large gaps underneath. I ended up finding the Gophersnake that was seen earlier and at the very end of my search. It was just about to leave the property into the road, so I captured it before it found its way into a neighbors yard or got hit by a car. |

Phoenix | 85044 | Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake | One of the workers at this community spotted a rattlesnake coiled under the lip of the building. When I arrived they had the snake in a bucket in the sun. They said the snake was slithering onto the hot asphalt. I don’t know how true that was. They then said they put it in a bucket but the bucket was in the sun. When I opened the bucket the gravid female speck was limp. She never came back, either. This community is on south mountain preserve. The side where the snake was backs right up to a hillside. |

Sun City | 85351 | Sonoran Gophersnake | The homeowner\'s dogs alerted them to a very large Gophersnake in a shaded area next to the home. The snake was bedded down on the ground under a dense canopy of recently watered plants. The home was situated near a golf course and not far from a dry riverbed. I searched the rest of the yard, which had some very nice DIY fencing blocking off drain holes around the wall, but the gate leading to the front yard had a huge gap underneath that a snake of any size could easily enter. I did not find any additional snakes |

He then watched the snake slither into his yard and go into his back yard through some drain holes in his fence. The snake was on the back patio when I arrived. The home had a view fence that backed up to desert and a golf course. The preserve was just across the street. |

Phoenix | 85027 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | An employee at a warehouse called after seeing a rattlesnake near some stacked-up pallets. By the time I arrived, the snake had moved into the shade of a large trailer. The warehouse was adjacent to Deer Valley Airport. The only small patch of native habitat nearby was part of the airport and not accessible to me. Nobody that I talked to at the facility had ever seen a snake on the property before. I had to drive down the road a little over a mile before I got to a patch of state trust land where I could release the snake. |

Phoenix | 85024 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner was out back with his dog when his dog went to drink its water and it suddenly jumped back. He saw then that the dog had been bitten by a rattlesnake. He got the dog to the vet and called. After a long search, I found the snake in some thick saw grass covered pretty well and hard to see. The home had a view fence and had some desert behind it. A lot of the desert behind their home has become 2000 new homes. They still have quite a bit of desert on the other side of their home just outside the community. |

Phoenix | 85020 | Sonoran Gophersnake | The homeowner called about a “large rattlesnake” under her bathroom sink. When I arrived I discovered that it was actually a large Gophersnake that was stuck to two glue traps and attempting to eat a large mouse that was stuck to another glue trap. I was able to free the snake relatively easily with cooking spray and the snake was unharmed. Home is right up against a desert preserve and the homeowner said that rats are able to access her bathroom sink via faulty piping under the home so the snake must have found its way inside the home that way. |

Scottsdale | 85255 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner contacted us after a delivery driver noticed a rattlesnake coiled up in the shade near the front door. Another snake had been removed from the same porch about a week ago. This home was in Scottsdale, surrounded by native habitat and just across the street from a desert preserve. The back yard has snake fencing that had been installed by us but the homeowner did not need me to look at it as it had been looked at only last week. |

Scottsdale | 85260 | Sonoran Gophersnake | I arrived and it was a Sonoran Gophersnake that was at one point stuck to a glue trap, but freed itself and was now stuck to the floor and wall. I got it off but ended up covered in glue myself. Awkward. |

Peoria | 85383 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | We were called out to a Peoria home after a grandchild of the homeowner stepped directly over a rattlesnake while entering the home through a back door. Two dogs were also following the child into the home, and it was at first thought that one may have been bitten. Luckily, neither the dog nor the child was bitten. The snake coiled up and waited near the back door for me to arrive. The home was close to a desert preserve, and there was a large area of development close by. A wash ran between the home and the construction site. I searched the large yard, which had a lot of heavily watered fruit trees and other landscaping. There was a view fence with a DIY snake-proofing mesh, which was full of gaps that would not prevent anything from entering. I recommended a fence estimate, but they declined to request it. |

San Tan Valley | 85144 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Received a call regarding a snake in the backyard area. The customer sent a picture and I confirmed it was an atrox. Arrived and met the customer out front who escorted me into the backyard. The backyard was very large ~half an acre facing west. The area of the yard directly off the back porch was gated with a view fence to keep pets (3 Yorkies) close to the house. The fence had a 1/4 mesh lining it all the way around. Directly west of the fence the ground sloped gently and was lined with bigger rocks. Went through the gate to access the rest of the yard and noted a large atrox in ambush to my left. Captured and bucketed using tongs with no issue. Inspected the rest of the yard and no other snakes were found. Most of the yard was barren and void of cover but there were several small fruit trees with drip irrigation. Home is surrounded by habitat on all sides and I suspect the snake likely came from the wash to the west. |

Phoenix | 85085 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Caller reported a rattlesnake at the front door. Upon arrival, the snake was already under a bucket on the driveway. I was able to quickly contain the snake in my bucket and provided room-temperature water. The property is free from excessively overgrown plants. However, they do have numerous plants in the rear yard with a great deal of water, but all in an elevated position. The front door is pretty deeply recessed and was probably just a temporary stop for thermoregulation. No other snakes were removed. |

Phoenix | 85020 | Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake | The caller reported a small rattlesnake in the front yard. When I arrived the homeowner walked me to the snake. The snake, immediately identified as a Speckled Rattlesnake, was coiled at the root system of a mesquite tree. The homeowner was watering and it was clear the snake was enjoying the added humidity and cool ground. I was able to quickly and safely capture the snake without incident. No other snakes were recovered from the property. |

Avondale | 85339 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Homeowner called about a young Diamondback in his front yard. They has attempted to get the snake to move along by spraying water at it but all the snake did was climb up a bush and take cover. Home is next to some farmland but not much habitat left in this area for rattlesnakes due to new housing developments so its probably good I got him because his days were likely numbered in the area. |

Scottsdale | 85255 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The renter of the house knew there was a rattlesnake living in the backyard for some time. The landscaper told he was going to kill it and that he had already killed 7 in the past year. She called us hoping we would do it for free so the snake could live. The house backs up to the McDowell Mountain Preserve & has a view fence with some really bad snake fencing. Anything that gets in will have no way out. |

Phoenix | 85085 | Mojave Rattlesnake | Received a call regarding a rattlesnake on a front patio. The customer stated the neighbor attempted to contain the snake in a bucket, but it may or may not have been in the bucket. Arrived home and went into the south-facing entryway, where there was a covered patio. I noticed a snake in ambush on an east facing was somewhat behind a 5-gallon bucket that was on its side. Upon closer inspection, I noticed it was a scutulatus in ambush which surprised me as the home was east of North Valley Parkway and the nearest habitat was almost exclusively mountain terrain. Captured snake using tongs and bucketed it with no issue. Customers stated they noticed the snake initially in the general location where it was near the front door. The area would have plenty of shade most of the day and early morning. Performed inspection of the front and backyard with no other snakes found. There was washes running north and east of home. The backyard has a brick wall all around. The side yard in the east has a lattice brick for drainage and side yard on the west has a gate. The family has three medium-sized dogs which are often out back. Offered a free fencing quote and they accepted. |

Tucson | 85745 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner called when he discovered a young Western Diamondback Rattlesnake coiled in his backyard near his garden. When I arrived, the snake was on the move, headed straight for the hose hideaway box. It managed to escape under the box, so I carefully moved the box, secured the snake, and picked an appropriate habitat nearby to release it to. A deep rodent burrow under a mesquite became its new home. |

Tucson | 85835 | Coachwhip | This homeowner called when she stepped outside and discovered a large, beautiful pink and black Coachwhip that was stuck under the flashing on the side of her house. She sent me pictures before I arrived so I could get a better idea of the situation, and the Coachwhip was wedged tightly under the metal flashing against the stucco wall. Coincidentally, when I was walking back to my van to grab some tools, I saw another large Coachwhip making its way across the driveway and slithered into nearby habitat. With the help of some hand tools and cooking spray, I was able to bend and flex the metal flashing just far enough away from the snakes body that it could begin working itself out. The snake and I worked together in unison, as I pulled the metal flashing slowly and carefully back and forth away from the wall while the snake moved from side to side, slowly gaining leverage and space to move. After a few minutes, the snake was able to free itself and slithered right into the surrounding habitat. Thankfully, the homeowner lives in a remote area of the desert with lots of great habitat, and doesn’t mind having the Coachwhip stay. In the end, the Coachwhip was able to be saved without any injuries and returned back to its native home range. |

The yard is enclosed with standard view fencing, it has a swimming pool, rodent activity, and copious ground cover vegetation especially by the back porch. The view fencing has been modified by the homeowner with chicken wire and approximately 1 foot of fine wire mesh in an attempt to prevent snakes from getting into the yard.

Phoenix | 85020 | Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake | The Phoenix Mountain homeowner called reporting a rattlesnake she had seen since the night before in the same area by her front walkway into her home. The home is located directly beside the mountain going into the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. Most of the neighbors seem to have rattlesnake fencing except in the front areas of their driveways. When I arrived the snake was as described tucked into the corner of the front wall which had a brick facade. When I went to retrieve the snake, it began to tuck far back into the wall. When I realized the wall took a sharp left turn and had a large cavity for the snake to reside in. I confirmed with the owner that it was a southwestern speckled rattlesnake and proceeded to try to flood the snake out using a nearby garden hose. It took several attempts but finally the snake came out and I was able to contain it in a bucket and then find my way hiking into The Preserve where I went into a well-vegetated wash far from any buildings and found a deep caliche cavern to release the snake into the neighbors made me make a ticket to have their other gate fenced in a different part of the yard. They are also an existing customer. This current customer, where the snake was at their front door also already has areas rattlesnake fenced by us. |
