Scottsdale | 85255 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | This western diamondback had been visiting this McDowell Mountain Ranch home on and off for the past week. The house sat on the end of the street with a wide open ravine right next to it. The homeowner knew that meant he might have frequent visitors. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The caller reported a rattlesnake under the cars in the garage. I arrived and the snake had moved in between some boxes in the garage. I was able to remove it without incident. A courtesy inspection of the yard was completed. During the inspection, I noted a very deep rodent burrow just outside the garage side entry door. A nearby hose was used to attempt to draw anything that may be in there, however, nothing emerged. A fairly recent shedding was found in a lantana bush just under the hose bib in the rear yard. It appears to belong to a juvenile WDB. It is possible this snake was overwintering in the rodent burrow. As such, I collapsed the burrow to the best of my ability. |

Scottsdale | 85266 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The customer spotted a western diamondback underneath a rug on his back porch while taking the garbage out. He saw the head pop up and the tongue flicker. When I arrived the snake was no longer under the rug or anywhere near the patio. After a long game of hide and seek, I found him on the side of the house between a stack of roof tiles and the block fence. The snake was relocated north of the property into a packrat nest that was right underneath a large tree. |

Casa Grande | 85122 | Sonoran Sidewinder | The homeowner called about a small rattlesnake curled up by her AC unit. When I arrived, I found the Sidewinder in the same spot. Temps are about 105 right now so this shady area was likely keeping him alive. Home is right up against the open desert, and the back wall is cinderblock, so the snake was likely just stuck in the yard and unable to find its way back into the desert. Gate gaps and holes in the block wall for drainage are easy access points to this yard and likely how the snake entered. Took the snake back out into the desert nearby and placed it into the deep cover of a rodent hole at the base of a creosote bush. |

Peoria | 85383 | Sonoran Gophersnake | The homeowner called about a Sonoran Gophersnake hiding in some of the landscaping in his backyard. This home was situated in a typical Peoria neighborhood, with many small drainages running throughout. He told me that he usually gets one or two Gophersnakes per year, but never any rattlesnakes. The snake likely came in through one of the block drains or under the gap under the gate. |

Surprise | 85387 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | A crew member at a construction site was moving materials and unknowingly came dangerously close to a rattlesnake. They let the snake stay on site, but the following day, when it was still there, they decided to call us. This was a typical construction site, with piles of building materials, refuse, and large containers. It sat on the edge of a development and had no barrier to the open native desert to the west. No other snakes were found. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | This public library, which is surrounded by desert gets rattlesnakes often. We just got three away from the building a day ago. Today they had a young rattlesnake coiled on their back patio. |

Anthem | 85086 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner called after seeing a rattlesnake on his shady front porch. It had moved slightly into some nearby landscaping by the time I had arrived. The home is far from any development and surrounded by mountainous, native desert. It is a large property with a lot of structure and landscaping, but no irrigation system. There is no block wall bordering the home and very surprisingly, he told me that this is only the second snake he's seen since 2018. The temperature of the shaded porch was significantly cooler than the ground just beyond. I did not find any other snakes. |

Scottsdale | 85266 | Mojave Rattlesnake | The homeowner spotted this baby Mojave next to her garage door (outside) after pulling into the garage. The house had a wash on the west side of it and open desert just south which is where I believe this guy came from. The snake had moved to the same rock next to the driveway by the time I arrived and this is where I found it. Safely captured and relocated south of the property into a packrat nest. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Early this morning, the homeowner walked out the front door and noticed the baby rattlesnake coiled under an elevated pot. The front yard was very well maintained, and the backyard had our fencing. There was desert in and around the home throughout the community and more desert down the road on the outside of the community. |

Phoenix | 85085 | Sonoran Gophersnake | The crew at a water treatment facility in North Phoenix called about a rattlesnake on the property. It turned out to be a Sonoran Gopher snake, but the crew thought that it would be safer for the snake to be relocated. I looked around the rest of the facility, which had a ton of great cover. There were piles of large rocks, stacks of pallets and PVC pipe, and several con-ex structures that had exterior doors left open. There is virtually no barrier preventing any snake from the adjacent native desert from entering or exiting the property at will. No additional snakes were found. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Sonoran Gophersnake | The homeowner called about a rattlesnake that she saw in her side yard hiding behind her trash cans. It turned out to be a Sonoran Gophersnake, which she wanted removed regardless. This home in Cave Creek was near a golf course and had a view fence overlooking a narrow drainage, and had chicken wire about 24inches high, installed along the base. She explained that it was never meant to keep snakes out, but to keep her 3 young beagles in. The backyard was well-manicured with landscaping and a pool. The front had two very tall, dense lantanas. I captured the snake and looked for others but did not find any. The homeowner is very interested in a fencing quote as well as getting a dog training refresher. |

Phoenix | 85048 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner saw her delivery driver, kind of tossed her package and she was wondering why he didn’t just set it down when she went to grab the package she got rattled at by two rattlesnakes by her front door. That’s when she called me. The snake's tails were intertwined, but they were not fully locked up. I was able to get both of them in the bucket. She had a desert wash behind her house across the street and more desert beyond that and a desert little hillside on the other side of the road. |

Phoenix | 85085 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | A crew at a wastewater transfer station was moving a conex and discovered a rattlesnake hiding underneath. I had been to this facility earlier in the day to remove a gopher snake and had searched the property but did not find any other snakes. I mentioned to them that there may be snakes sheltering under the conex and they told me that they would be moving it soon. Once the conex was gone, the snake began to look for shade. It was just over 100F degrees outside and the only shade the snake could find was the tiny shadow of a 2X4 frame lying on the ground. By the time I arrived, the snake was not doing well. I put it in the bucket with some water, but it was not moving. I decided to bring the snake home with me for the night to see if it could be revived. If it is well enough in the morning, I will look for an appropriate spot for relocation. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner was working from her office when she spotted this adult western diamondback hanging out in her office. She said she had seen a snake in her garage within the past day and assumed this is the same one. I offered to check out the garage and laundry room but she declined. Typically, these indoor rattlesnakes turn out to be night snakes or gophers so seeing this adult western diamondback was a surprise. Relocated south of the property into a packrat nest surrounded by bushes and a tree. |

Tucson | 85718 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Management called because a snake had been seen on a sidewalk by a resident. They had laid out a cone but the snake was gone when I arrived. After some investigation, I found the adult female Western Diamondback Rattlesnake in a Dalea bush a few yards away. |

Tucson | 85641 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | This homeowner was startled by a loud rattling sound when he walked into his garage. He quickly realized it was the distinct sound of a rattlesnake. He looked underneath his shelving unit and found an adult Western Diamondback Rattlesnake coiled in the corner. He called us immediately to come remove it. Once I arrived, I safely got the snake into the bucket and relocated it to a nearby habitat into a rodent burrow. The homeowners told me they left the garage door open for about an hour or so today, but almost always keep it closed. This shows how quickly a rattlesnake can find a comfy spot in your garage if the door is left open in a relatively short period of time- and why it’s so important to keep it closed. |

Mesa | 85207 | Whiptail Lizard | The homeowner called about a snake in a glue trap. Upon arrival, I discovered that it was actually two whiptail lizards, and because one of the lizard’s tails was sticking out of the glue trap I could see how someone unfamiliar with snakes could mistake that for a snake tail. Spray olive oil to the rescue, and 10 mins later both lizards were free and placed into a small rodent hole in the nearby desert. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner was doing some work around the yard when she stumbled on this mating pair of diamondbacks. The property had a view fence at the back that went all the way to the ground which backed up to a wash. When I arrived the snakes were coiled together but weren’t locked up. They were released together into a packrat nest that sat up against a wash. |

Phoenix | 85054 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | I was contacted by a pest control service on behalf of one of their clients to remove a rattlesnake from a large office campus. A young Western Diamondback was seen by an employee on a sidewalk next to a busy street. She covered the snake with a bucket and waited for me to arrive. The campus is large with multiple buildings and a lot of concrete surfaces, but it\'s also very well landscaped and is surrounded by a small amount of native desert. |

Apache Junction | 85120 | Sonoran Gophersnake | The homeowner called about a snake that slithered into a cactus in her backyard. She thought it was a rattlesnake because it did rattle. When we got there, we discovered it was a harmless gopher snake. She was cool enough and let us relocate the snake in her yard. She lived on 2.5 acres and had some natural desert all around her house. There were a few pack rat nests on the property and she had chickens but she didn’t have a fenced yard it was all open. |

When we got there, the snake was under a bush near a drainage. She is a fence customer of ours so her yard is well protected and both front and back yards were very clean.

Phoenix | 85044 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | A homeowner in Ahwatukee called about a rattlesnake in his yard. When I arrived the western diamondback was curled up in a corner of the backyard wall. The home is at the base of South Mountain and surrounded by desert with a large hill directly behind the house. There are also a couple of large rock piles and wood piles just on the other side of the fence, so no surprise there was a rattlesnake at this property. I hiked the snake back into the preserve and placed it into the deep cover of a rock pile at the base of a hill with a large drainage just below. |

Fountain Hills | 85268 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner called about a rattlesnake in a fenced yard. The western diamondback was curled up under a chair on the back patio when I arrived. The fencing looks intact, the only thing I can think of is maybe the fence was propped open and the snake was nearby and entered that way. Snake relocated into a large packrat nest in the nearby desert. |

Scottsdale | 85255 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner was in the garage and she spotted both the snakes. She then noticed they were locked up mating. They saw her and went further into the garage. The male was pulling the female around. I was able to scoop both the snakes up and keep them locked up. The garage had a lot of things in it and I noticed rodent activity. There were gaps in the garage door when it was shut. There was a lot of desert just down the road from her. The snakes were still locked up when I relocated them. |

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. |

Scottsdale | 85266 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner called with a report of a rattlesnake in the pool. The homeowner was envenomated by a neonate western diamondback this last November and hospitalized. The snake was posted behind the waterfall feature of the pool when I arrived.

I highly recommend snake fencing to these folks given the incident that occurred last year and their very open backyard with plentiful reptile resources nearby and on property. The client also has 2 dogs that I recommended they get training for. |

Peoria | 85308 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner first called about a rattlesnake in the house but was able open the front door and let it find it's way out. Not long after they called again. The same snake had found its way into the back yard and was sheltering under some landscaping. From the front door, it was easy to see how the snake could have followed the wall around to a drain hole leading into the backyard. There was a small amount of landscaping and patio furniture for the snake to shelter under, but it was not clear that the snake had over wintered on the property. The homeowner suspects that the snake entered the home when the sliding glass patio door was left slightly open. The house was located near a small mountain with some native desert but was situated deep into the neighborhood with no direct or safe travel route. I searched the rest of the property but did not find any additional snakes. |
