9:30 AM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The neonate rattlesnake was on the playground at this preschool. Thankfully everyone knows to keep an eye out for snakes here. They have some kind of fencing but it needs work to be fully snake proofed. It’s a view fence with some mesh on it currently. They have a lot of desert around them and we have been here several times this year.

12:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner was doing work in his back yard when he noticed the rattlesnake coiled up by his hose container out in the open. It’s a very nice fall day out after a bunch of rain. The home has desert throughout the community and also a lot of desert just up the road. His yard had a few heavy lantanas and led to a very lush courtyard with a fountain.

9:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner called about a western diamondback rattlesnake inside her garage. When I arrived, I found the snake curled up around the water heater. Snake likely entered the garage when the door was open at some point, no other obvious points of entry were found. I hiked the snake out into the nearby desert and placed it into a large pack rat nest at the base of an ironwood tree. Scottsdale.

12:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner said he always checks the yard being from Canada he heard snakes are everywhere so he just doesn’t want any around him. Sure enough, he spotted one under his pool pump, just coiled up. It was a really cold rainy day. Near the pool pump was a grill island which is the only spot near that I could image the snake hibernating in. The home has a view fence and has quite a bit of desert around it.

8:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Homeowner called about a small rattlesnake that was in front of her guest house. She has family in town and was worried about the grandkids getting bit. They placed a small trash bin over the snake to keep it from going anywhere. Home is very large and surrounded by desert, likely not the first time a rattlesnake has been around. I took the diamondback into the nearby desert and found it a nice packrat nest at the base of an ironwood tree away from homes. North Scottsdale

1:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Western diamondback rattlesnake was found under a staircase at an apartment complex and was causing a stir among the residents. They were excited to hear that our service does not kill the snake but instead finds a more suitable environment away from people to for it to live. Relocated into a desert wash with lots of rodent activity.
2025-12-10
1:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner was on her back patio when she saw a little snake head poking out from under a large pot on her back patio. There was a dying centipede near the neonate so I’m not sure if the little one envenomated it. I was able to get the little one out from under the pot. There was also a large shedded king snake skin under there. She said she saw the king a few months before she let it stay. This was large property with a lot of vegetation but it was all very clean. Next to the big pot, about 7 feet away, was a grill island that I believe the snake was staying under for winter. She is scheduled to get our fencing done already in the spring. There is some desert just behind her back wall.
2025-12-11
11:30 AM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner was taking his trash cans from his back yard to the street when he noticed the rattlesnake coiled underneath. His backyard did not have any cover for this adult rattlesnake. The garage was a few feet away and there were gaps in the sides and middle big enough for this snake to slither in and out. The home was across the street from a lot of desert.

1:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Big rattlesnake by the front door. While en route, the snake moved a short distance, but the homeowner washed it, and it was an easy capture. They said they had another snake there recently, which indicates a den. Searched the property and adjacent public areas, and found nothing, which means their neighbors likely have an issue. Advised.
2026-02-26
2:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner called about a rattlesnake that was on her back porch. When I arrived, the western diamondback had moved behind a large flower pot and was rattling. This was a huge yard and it was one of those neighborhoods in Scottsdale, where all the homes are equally spaced with desert all around them. Did a sweep of the yard and did not find any other snakes. The homeowner is curious about the fencing because the snake could easily enter through both gates on both sides of the house. Found a nice large desert area in between two neighborhoods about a mile south and placed the snake into a large packrat nest underneath a shady tree where the snake will be able to continue living its life.
2026-02-28
4:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake A homeowner in Scottsdale called about a large rattlesnake curled up by her garage door. She spotted it from her car as she was coming home. Upon arrival, the snake had started to move away from the garage door and towards the desert, but I got there just in time to snag it before it could disappear. Home is right at the base of a large mountain covered in boulders and the front yard area looks like it could have many more rattlesnakes around, so I told her just to be careful especially this time of year as they are all emerging from the winter. She was completely understanding about where she lives. Snake was released into a large Pack rat nest in a nearby patch of desert away from homes.

2026-03-03
1:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner saw the rattlesnake just outside his garage door. When I arrived I could tell by how it was sitting that it was dead. It had guts coming out of its cloaca. It must have been hit by a car. The road was busy with construction workers from all the new homes being built nearby. The home has a view fence and has a lot of great habitat around. They are right by the preserve.

1:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake It ended up being a mating couple in a tiny gap under the pavers!
2026-03-11
1:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The church was having a stack of doors moved out of their back storage area and one of the workers noticed a small baby Rattlesnake curled up outside of them, the worker used a nearby shovel to scoop it into an empty dry paint bucket. The church is on a large property adjacent to a great natural habitat on the back side where the storage area and snake was found. I took some time to look around their storage areas and peak into their storage sheds for any further snakes. No other snakes were found, and the baby rattlesnake was driven shortly up the road to the next safest natural habitat away from buildings.
2026-03-11
2:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Staff called the hotline with a report of a western diamondback traveling from the pool area along a building. I arrived at the appropriate building and the staff observers immediately pointed out the snake. It was in a semi defensive posture and clearly agitated. The snake was removed without incident. A courtesy walk through of the area resulted in no additional snakes removed, however, there was a highly decomposed section of vertebrae and skin from what appeared to be a colubrid.
2026-03-16
11:00 AM		 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.
2026-03-21
9:00 AM		 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.
2026-03-22
10:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Received a call about a rattlesnake on the back porch. Arrived at home and the customer escorted me to the backyard area. The customer pointed out through a window where the snake was and I observed an adult atrox in a defensive posture rattling. Snake was on top of a small flight of steps that led to a door inside the home. Snake was very defensive and did not stop rattling for the duration of my time with it. Snake struck tongs as I captured it and struck out twice when I had it bucketed. Performed an inspection of the back yard. The yard was very large with topography. Home sat at the bottom of a granite mountain. Pointed out to the customer several areas of concern for overgrown vegetation that was irrigated near the pool area and provided education on snake behavior and encouraged the customer to keep plants trimmed or eliminate them. Walked around the fence line, and I noticed new holes. There is an area where the fencing stops as the wall intersects with a giant boulder on the east end of the yard. Fencing material just kind of folded back into the open desert where a snake could easily enter. I offered the customer a free fencing quote and they obliged. The customer shared concerns they had about their small dog and I stressed the importance of prevention.
2026-03-24
10:00 AM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner was trimming up some plants in her backyard when she heard a rustling and looked down and saw the rattlesnake just slithering by. She kept her eye on it and it just stayed in the same area while I drove there. I grabbed the snake and looked around. She did have some heavy vegetation, but she was also trimming up her plants as we spoke. I did not see any other snakes. She has a view fence in the back, which is higher off the ground, and one gate. She has a drainage that runs by her house that leads to little sections of desert, but not much desert is left in this area.

5:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Caller reported a rattlesnake near the front entryway. The snake made its way to a bush in the front yard, and then the homeowner lost track of the snake’s location. I was unable to locate the snake initially, however, I was eventually able to locate the snake in a large bougainvillea bush amongst the leaf litter. I advised the client to seal the drainage block behind the Bougainvillea bush, as well as the hole under their block view fence wall in the rear of the yard.

11:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Received a call regarding a rattlesnake in a driveway. Arrived at the customer’s home and was greeted outside by them. The customer pointed out where he first noticed the snake in the large driveway and that he tracked it slowly moving south to some landscaping as he waited for me to arrive. I observed a young g juvenile atrox in ambush underneath a small creosote. Utilized oversized tweezers to capture with no issue. The snake had three segments in its rattle. Performed an inspection of both front and backyard, which were huge and no other snakes were found. Both yards were largely neat and tidy. I provided education on snake behavior and pointed out some areas a snake might seek refuge in the summer months. Customer stated that the builder installed 1/4” mesh around the view fence but not around gate entrances on either side of the yard. Home and development are new and surrounded by habitat on all sides. I suspect the snake was likely just moving through the property before it was found by the customer and the dog.

12:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner called because they had a snake in their backyard eating quail eggs. Before calling us, they shot the snake with a pellet gun only injuring it and it disappeared into to some landscaping rocks. I flooded the rocks with water and we found the snake on the other side of the wall. It had found a way under the wall through the rocks. The snake was observed for a couple of days and after recovering it was released into deep cover.

12:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The client called with a report of a small rattlesnake coiled near the base of a trash bin, which sits behind a gate in front of the home. The client was able to watch the snake as it remained coiled in the same position until I arrived. It looked like the snake had recently had a small meal. No other snakes were recovered. The client requests a quote for fencing to protect the rear yard and possibly the trash receptacle storage area.

3:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake This was at a preschool. One of the kids spotted the rattlesnake on the playground by the toy box. The employees watched the snake from inside but lost sight of it. The snake was not on the playground when I arrived but I checked the desert around the playground and found a male and female western diamondback coiled up together under a bush. The preschool had a view fence that opened up to some desert. There wasn’t much desert around this busy shopping center but enough for two rattlesnakes. There was a bit more desert across the road.
2026-04-23
4:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The caller in this instance was a property manager for a short-term rental property. The guests staying in the home saw a rattlesnake coiled behind a large shed. The children observed the snake then traveling along the inside of the perimeter wall. Unfortunately, the observers lost sight of the snake after briefly leaving the area. After a brief inspection, I determined the snake had likely made its way under the shed. After attempting a flood out for a significant period of time in each hole with no emergence, I decided to tap along the base of the shed and I was able to hear the snake rattle. After much more water, I was able to coax the snake into emerging from one of the drain holes in the shed base. The snake was recovered without incident and no other snakes were removed.
2026-04-24
9:30 AM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner called about a rattlesnake on the move in her front yard. I found the snake half in a bush trying to get away. The front of the house is completely exposed to the desert with lots of open space surrounding it. The snake was relocated to the nearby preserve in a packrat nest. Twenty five minutes later the homeowner called that there was a second snake on her front porch. I went right back and found a very defensive snake stretched out at the front door. The second snake looked like a gravid female and was placed in the same packrat nest as the first.
2026-05-05
8:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Security at an apartment complex called about a small rattlesnake spotted by one of the tenants. When I arrived the young diamondback was curled up in the middle of the parking lot. There was some good habitat just across the street no less than a year ago but that land is now flattened and being developed, which likely displaced the snake and led to this encounter.
2026-05-02
9:00 AM		 Scottsdale 85255 Nightsnake The caller reported a small snake on the patio that her dog was barking at for some time. When I arrived the snake was under a plastic storage bin. The snakes mouth was agape and it was visibly not well. I placed the snake in shade and gave it cool water. I advised the client to remove slate rock pile on the side of the home and roofing tiles on the opposite side as well. The snake has not recovered but was released in hopes of pulling through.
2026-05-11
10:30 AM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner called after seeing a rattlesnake on the side of his home headed towards the back yard. I arrived and took a quick look around the back yard, which was small, clean and completely empty. There was almost no landscaping and very few structures to hide under. Around the opposite side of the home from where the snake was last seen, there was a small stack roof tiles left over from a recent project. The snake was found hiding under one of these tiles, which was the only shade available in the immediate area. The property was in the middle of a development, but situated in between two natural drainages, both of which led out to more native habitat.
2026-05-18
11:30 AM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowners pool person was in the back yard by the pool equipment and spotted one rattlesnake. He walked to the front door to notify the homeowners and there was another coiled by the front door. The snake by the door went under a bush near by and I grabbed it. The snake in the back yard took a little coaxing to get out from under the heater but I was able to grab it. The home has the preserve across the street. This was a male and female rattlesnake. They are getting our fencing installed next week.
2026-05-27
2:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner had some painters at his house when one of them said he saw a rattlesnake in his backyard. They lost sight of it but I found it coiled under some stacked bricks not far from where they saw it. The home has a view fence and backs up to desert with some big boulders behind it that looked like perfect snake habitat.
2026-06-01
5:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Kingsnake Homeowner called about a snake in the backyard. The house is in a neighborhood with lots of washes surrounding it. The back of the house has a vision fence with easy access to the yard. There were visible quail nest and birdseed on the ground.

2026-06-15
8:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake A homeowner who lives out of state part of the year and uses this home as his snowbird/vacation home was contacted by his monthly window cleaner because they found a rattlesnake in the courtyard of the home. The home has a maze of a courtyard going through the center of it surrounded by a block wall fence system some of the outermost block walls have view fences and a series of gates. The home is in a developed gated community that has desert landscaping and lots of rock features. The back side of the community has a small remaining patch of natural habitat. The homeowner is interested in rattlesnake proofing the property. Overall, it may be easy to do if the outermost fencing and block walls are fenced, I will let him know the fencing team could be in contact with him to discuss what it would take to Rattlesnake proof the yard/courtyard. The snake had to be driven slightly out of range to the nearest natural preserve area as the community is only adjacent to very small remaining sections of natural habitat that seem to connect directly to the golf course and other plots of homes. The snake was released in the preserve, in a wash, in a deep series of holes/tunnels within the root system of a dead tree that had an adjoining pack rat nest.
2026-06-17
9:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake North Scottsdale homeowners called with a request to relocate a small rattlesnake that was crawling through the front yard towards a drainage wash that goes between properties they were alerted by the cat showing lots of interest by the window. When I arrived the snake had already made it down into the drainage ditch that I had to slide down to retrieve it still within their property but almost to the next. I inspected the rest of the property and explained that they had been doing a good job maintaining their landscaping but pointed out a few holes that might be valuable to fill in and explained that we could easily proof their back yard. The backyard is part block wall and part view fence. I explained rattlesnake behavior and safety as well. The home is in a spacious gated community that has lots of natural habitat and desert landscaping in between the homes not far from larger plots of open natural land.
2026-06-23
5:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Sonoran Gophersnake Homeowners were so scared of the snake that I did not get to do my usual education on what attracts snakes, prevention, possible fencing, etc. They were not interested in talking so I respected their boundaries and took the snake away from their home quickly. They did say that the snake had been there a few days slithering in and out of their yard, but I did not get much more out of them of how many snakes they get a year, etc. Very nice but frightened couple.
