Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Customer reports a baby rattlesnake in her fenced yard. She plans to capture it and place it in a bucket. Customer states there are holes in the fence allowing animals to enter. This issue is not covered under warranty; however, the customer refuses to pay. Due to her prior customer service history, she is choosing to capture the snake herself despite being advised not to. Final payment decision will be made after inspection of the fencing and consultation with management. |

Scottsdale | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner was in the front yard when she spotted a snake slithering down her driveway. She placed a bucket over it, and I removed it from underneath. The yard is fairly open and bare, but the home is surrounded by desert. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Received a call about a rattlesnake in the courtyard behind a fountain. Arrived at the property and was shown the fountain fixture, which was backed against the stucco wall that housed a garage on the other side. The customer stated he watched the snake go behind the fountain on one side and kept his eyes on it until I arrived. The customer stated the snake was approximately 2 ft long. I observed a small hole on one side of the fountain and decided to flood the area using the customer’s hose. After about 15 minutes of flooding, with nothing coming out on the side with the house, I began watching the other side, which appeared to be blocked off with rocks. Using my flashlight, I was able to see a small portion of an atrox head attempting to peek out. I used my hook to remove the rocks, and the snake exited almost immediately. I used tongs to capture it. The snake escaped the bucket five times before I was able to secure the lid. The snake definitely came from the preserve that the property backed up to. I pointed out areas of concern in the courtyard and suggested that fencing could help keep rattlesnakes from entering. The customer declined. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | This is a fence customer of ours. His dog was barking, so he looked outside and saw the rattlesnake up against his back fence in the fenced secured area. He got his dog in, and the snake climbed up onto the block ledge and was trying to get over the mesh, but could not. I searched around the yard for any possible ways in and did find that some of the mesh on the view fence was puckered up, and some rocks got wedged in there; it was puckered up and could have possibly been the entry point. This home is really close to the desert preserve, and there are lots of great habitats around. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner called about a rattlesnake in his backyard. It was coiled up in between stacks of roofing shingles. I was able to catch it as soon as I arrived. This was a prior fence customer, but it has been out of warranty for several years. The fence still looked like it was in great shape. The homeowner said he was pretty sure that a landscaper left his gate open long enough for the snake to find its way in. At the request of the homeowner, I am submitting a fence ticket for someone to take a look at the fence just in case. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Homeowner called about a rattlesnake on his back patio. While I was on my way, he texted me informing me that there was actually a second rattlesnake as well. When I arrived, both Western Diamondbacks were stretched out along the perimeter of his patio against a wall. One male and one female, likely a bonded pair. Yard is fenced, but there are a few areas where the snakes could’ve still managed to get in. I took the snakes to a nearby trailhead and released them into some deep cover within some rocks on a north facing slope. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The home owner called to say he had a rattlesnake stuck in a glue trap in his garage, but it turned out to be a baby gopher snake. He was concerned because they had a rattlesnake in the backyard a week prior that bit the dog. The house is located in an area with lots of open desert. I took the snake home where I used olive oil to remove it from the trap. After observing it to make sure it was doing ok, it was released in the desert with deep cover. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Mojave Rattlesnake | The homeowner called and reported a rattlesnake in the garage. This house is located in a wide open area with lots of open desert nearby. Both the homeowner and the snake were startled, and the snake was found curled up in the garage trying to hide. There was an open patch of land next the house, so I walked down a wash and found some trees to release it. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Homeowner called about a small western diamondback rattlesnake in her backyard. The snake was on the move, but luckily I was able to find it very quickly when I got there. The home is very large and surrounded by open desert. The homeowner has seen multiple rattlesnakes and even a Gila monster in her yard and the surrounding area. Wildlife is just a part of their lives when living in a home like this. Snake was hiked a little bit away from the home and placed into a large rodent hole at the base of a large pile of rocks. Scottsdale. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner saw this baby rattlesnake coiled up to the left of the front door. Given the temperature was in the 60’s the snake was rather lethargic and easy to capture. I held on to the snake overnight as I was not familiar with the area and wanted to hike it to its new home in the daylight. Released into a packrat nest in its estimated home range. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The snake was first seen a few days ago in the backyard by a big boulder. Today, they observed it again and requested its removal. The back yard isn’t fenced, and it goes into some natural desert and a golf course not far from that. The snake was by some big boulders with a pack rat nest underneath. Thankfully, the snake was out and easy to catch. The community backs up to a desert preserve. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Coachwhip | Wonderful couple who lives part time in Scottsdale called because they had a coachwhip and a rattlesnake in their garage. The rattlesnake they usually coexist with but they are having company next week and wanted it removed for this reason. The coachwhip was found in the garage. The rattlesnake was unable to be found after checking the garage, side yard, and backyard unfortunately. They were given education about possibly getting their garage scorpion proofed so they do not find snakes within the garage area anymore but they are okay with them in their backyard as they have no kids or dogs. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner heard some tapping on his back patio door, and he looked to see a rattlesnake looking in at him. He then followed the snake around his side yard into his front yard where his neighbor put it in a bucket without a lid. They had the snake in full sun, so the snake escaped from the bucket and went to the nearby bush, which is where I caught it. He had some heavy vegetation in his yard, and he backed up to desert and a golf course with more desert surrounding the community. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Snake was found in backyard under some bushes and they have 2 large dogs. They were able to watch the snake for me and it stayed in one place rattling at them the whole time. Homeowners were relieved the snake would be ethically relocated as they didn't want any harm to come to it. Home with some view fencing but they are happy to live with the desert wildlife and do not want any changes/rattlesnake fencing. They usually coexist if they find nonvenonous snakes in the backyard or rattlesnakes out front. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Rattlesnake inside the backyard near the a/c unit. They have their own fencing that came with the house and they pile up bricks to block entry areas in the block wall. They are happy with their setup and do not wish to pursue professional rattlesnake fencing despite education. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner saw the snake in her front yard eating a mouse and then it went to her back yard. She lost sight of it but I found it coiled under the AC unit. The yard didn’t have much for cover but was right next to a drainage area with some big boulders and lots of desert vegetation. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Rattlesnake in front yard. Homeowners are currently doing construction of their house and adding a pool. Beccause they are going to tear down the wall for the pool addition, they do not need snake fencing in that area yet but they do have an enclosed garbage can area with side gate, another enclosed area on the opposite side of the house and a third front entry courtyard area in the meantime. They would like a recommendation for a new, large front gate as well but I told her I do not know if we have a connection like that. Solid walls all around home so fencing would just be flood holes and gates. Wife is from Australia and petrified of rattlesnakes and coyotes. They have a boxer dog and she would not be reassured that this dog was too big for a coyote to mess with. |

Scottsdale | 85260 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | This was at a business center in the under ground parking garage. Someone had saw the snake but then they lost sight of it. I found the snake not far from where they saw it just coiled in the corner. It was pretty cold in this parking garage. There were gaps that separated the wall and cement floor that possibly could have been a place the snake was. There were also some storage rooms nearby. They had just received a bunch of desert trees that were placed right by this area that the snake could have been transported in. It was a healthy older adult and the area I got it in was extremely populated. |

Scottsdale | 85260 | Sonoran Gophersnake | The homeowner looked out her back window and saw a snake wrapped around a bird, constricting it. She then lost sight of the snake and called us, believing it was a rattlesnake. It turned out to be a gophersnake, which had climbed into a tall bush just behind her fence. I was able to locate and safely capture it, and it did have a bolus. The property has a significant amount of desert habitat across the street. |

Scottsdale | 85260 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner was outside with her dogs when she heard them barking at a snake by the back fence. She brought the dogs inside and watched the rattlesnake. It was at the edge of her grass, out in the open, in a very small patch of shade. It was 106 degrees out, and I was very surprised it was where it was. She had a few smaller rosemary plants in the backyard, which were the only shady spots besides her back patio. The home had a desert drainage behind it and some desert beside it that led to a larger desert area. |
