9:30 AM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Western diamondback rattlesnake found by homeowner's gate. They have our rattlesnake fencing so it was not able to get into the backyard. Homeowner would like it removed because she feeds and waters the wild cottontails on her property.

1:30 PM		 Marana 85658 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner went to let his pug out to go to the bathroom and saw a roughly 3ft Western Diamondback Rattlesnake crossing towards a shaded corner. When i arrived i noted that the home was built on the Eastern slope of a rocky hill within a larger canyon. Rocks and brush everywhere. The backyard where the snake was was a series of descending patios leading to an infinity pool. Minimal decoration so not much in terms of hiding spots. Snake was trying unsuccessfully to hide along a wall behind a decorative pot with 1/3 of its body still sticking out. Put snake into bucket. Snake fence could probably be pretty beneficial here.
2026-03-01
3:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85266 Sonoran Gophersnake Gate code #1362. A snake was found on homeowner's driveway. She watched the snake for me and when I arrived I identified it as a gophersnake. She wanted it removed anyway.

2026-03-01
5:00 PM		 Carefree 85377 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Very nice couple who has used our rattlesnake fencing services. This snake was outside the fencing but they have guests coming from out of state and would like the snake removed as it is close and can be seen from their patio area. It was living under a large rock on their property and they plan to seal the hole it was living in.
2026-03-01
6:00 PM		 Phoenix 85024 Sonoran Gophersnake The home owner called for rattlesnake removal after seeing a snake in her backyard. When I arrived, the snake had gone behind their shed but its tail was visible indicating it was a gopher snake. Using a hose I was able to get the snake out and captured. Released across the street into a wash.
2026-02-28
1:00 PM		 Tucson 85741 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake A self-storage company called because one of their customers had a snake in the storage unit. I have been here previously to remove a snake for them, only this was in an adjoining unit to the last one. There was a juvenile, apparent female and well-fed, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake hiding beneath an overhang next to the door to the unit. I was able to coax the snake out with a mini snake hook and contain it.
2026-02-28
1:00 PM		 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.
2026-02-28
2:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Homeowners were spending the weekend cleaning out their garage. They had left it open and found 3 birds inside that they were trying to get out by various means including a leafblower. When they were evicting these unwanted guests, they noticed another! A rattlesnake was perched unusually high (above my head level) where they hang their tools above a workbench. He may have been going after the birds as well. He was carefully taken down and relocated into a natural desert area.
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.
2026-02-28
5:00 PM		 Phoenix 85050 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner found a rattlesnake in his irrigation valves. Able to obtain and educate on side yard debris and ways to make his backyard less hospitable to snakes. He is not interested in fencing at this time.
2026-02-28
6:00 PM		 Phoenix 85085 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The client called with a report of a rattlesnake moving along a perimeter wall in the neighborhood. Client and fellow neighbor observers watched the snake as it entered a desert plum bush on a neighboring property. I arrived on scene and searched the plum bush. The snake did not immediately alert until I approached the third quarter of the bush. It was tightly coiled at the base. I was able to remove the snake without incident. I conducted a sweep of the immediate area and the area from which the snake originated from and found a large deco boulder with significant rodent structure underneath where it could have been harboring for a period of time. This client was a repeat customer.
2026-02-27
8:00 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner was alerted to this backyard snake by his dog. When I arrived the snake was already contained in a large garbage can. The home itself backed up to a large wash and while there was snake fencing on the view fence, there were access points on the sides and underneath both front gates. The snake was transferred to my bucket and relocated to a large rock pile.
2026-02-27
8:00 AM		 Tucson 85641 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Adult trapped last night beneath a trash can.
2026-02-27
10:30 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake This is a fence customer of ours but the snake was by his front door. The homeowner saw the baby diamondback stuck to a sticky trap that he had by his front door. The snake was ok and I was able to free it unharmed. He said he gets a lot of snakes and lizards in these traps by his front door. I recommend that he not keep the traps in this area because it is a high-traffic area and he is going to keep catching critters. The homeowner has some desert sections behind and beside his home and throughout the community.
2026-02-27
11:00 AM		 Scottsdale 85266 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Arrived and found an average adult western diamondback attempting to exit the courtyard. Captured snake. Verified with renters that it was the snake in question. Base on surrounding habitat warns that others will be likey.
2026-02-27
4:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85266 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner heard his dogs barking at something outside, so he went to investigate and found the two mating rattlesnakes by his pool equipment. The snakes tails were intertwined when I walked up but I’m not sure if they were actually locked up. I scooped them both up together. The pool equipment did have a hole going underneath the pad. Which could have been a spot one or both were hanging out before being seen. The home had a nice desert area right behind it but no other really good hiding place in the yard.
2026-02-27
4:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85266 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Rattlesnake on patio assisted living facility. By the time I got there, it had moved and disappeared. I searched the property and found a wooden pallet with remnants of a rodent nest under it covered in old cinderblocks. It looked like a den situation, so I used water and carefully disassembled the blocks. I found the snake under it and captured it. No others found, but searched the property and advised.
2026-02-27
8:30 PM		 Peoria 85383 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner was surprised to find a very young Western Diamondback coiled up in the middle of her fully enclosed entryway. The snake likely found its way in through a small gap in the weatherstrip under the exterior door. This home was situated near native desert and a large drainage, but was surrounded by homes was several lots deep into the neighborhood. The back yard was heavily landscaped with a water feature and was surrounded on all sides by view fencing making for easy access to the adjacent properties. I searched around the front and back yard but did not find any other snakes.
2026-02-27
8:30 PM		 Marana 85743 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Landlord called because the renter had found a rattlesnake in their house in their bathroom. The snake likely entered through an open door and was promptly removed and relocated.
2026-02-26
10:00 AM		 Tanque Verde 85749 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Accidentally chopped with a trimming device while customer was trimming a century plant.
2026-02-26
12:30 PM		 Peoria 85383 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake When the homeowner was trying to get in his car in the garage, he heard a rattle. He looked over and saw the rattlesnake on top of some boxes up against the garage wall. The garage didn’t have very big gaps not big enough for this snake to squeeze through so it must’ve come in when the door was open at some point. The home had a rocky hillside behind it and a lot of desert just across the street.
2026-02-26
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.
2026-02-26
4:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake This is the neighbor but she said her next-door neighbor has 4 rattlesnakes in the yard. When I arrived, I found four rattlesnakes in the middle of the hot ground in the road with the neighbor corralling them with a long tool of some sort. Captured the snakes quickly before they died in the heat. Attempted to check the yard, but was not really able to in a meaningful way due to the insistence of the neighbor that he had already. Reasonable likelihood that there are more rattlesnakes back there. Left my phone number and information for that event.
2026-02-26
7:30 PM		 Tucson 85718 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner called for a rattlesnake they had found in their backyard, which was able to be captured and removed.

2026-02-26

2026-02-25
11:00 AM		 Carefree 85377 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake This is a fence customer of ours, but the snake was in the front yard. The snake was coiled up just outside the closed garage door. I checked the garage and there was a big enough gap for the snake to go in and out of the garage. I believe the snake was initially in the garage, spending the winter there, and just came out. There is a lot of desert surrounding this home in and around other homes.
2026-02-25
1:00 PM		 Tucson 85641 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Adult male
2026-02-25
2:00 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The snake was spotted by some kids going into the library. The snake was coiled mostly under the bridge walkway but a few scales were hanging out. The snake went further under when I went to grab it but I was eventually able to get it close to the edge and I snagged it. The bridge has lots of holes and rocks to hide in underneath. Behind the library is miles of state trust land.

3:00 PM		 Tucson 85755 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Adult male.
2026-02-25
4:00 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Caller identified a western diamondback in the garage. She was alerted to the snake’s presence by the rattle. The snake had entered the garage in recent hours, as it was left open for some time today. I immediately located the snake and removed a few items preventing capture. The snake was coiled behind a ladder and a bicycle. Removed without incident.

11:00 AM		 Tucson 85742 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Adult
2026-02-24
3:00 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake This is a fence customer of ours. They contacted the hotline with a report of a snake climbing into the yard over the snake fencing (installed by RS 6yrs ago). The customer provided an image that was confirmed to be a western diamondback. Upon arrival, the snake was stretched between a bougainvillea bush and the inner perimeter wall. The snake was captured without incident. Upon inspection of the exterior perimeter wall and fencing, it is safe to conclude the snake utilized rogue branches that had penetrated the perforations of the fencing. The client and Jonathan walked the fence and clipped the branches protruding through. In addition, a thorough inspection was done and no additional snakes were located. A hole was observed on the far side of the home in the drainage cinder block, likely caused by someone pushing a hose through it to the front yard.
2026-02-24
6:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85266 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The client called the hotline with a report of a rattlesnake near the rear sliding glass door. The client and his small dogs passed within the immediate vicinity of the snake and it went unnoticed until the snake alerted by rattling. The client had retrieved a shovel with the intent to dispatch the snake, but decided it was “too large” to attempt to kill. The western diamondback was removed without incident and no further activity was found. The snake was likely overwintering in a drainage pipe that was up against the home in the side yard. The pipe was about a foot or two under the earth. This was only about ten feet from where the snake was seen and it was the only deep cover around. There is a lot of desert patches throughout this community.
2026-02-22
12:00 PM		 Oro Valley 85737 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake A young person called saying they wanted us to come out and move a snake “before (their father) killed it”. The homeowner had been working in his garage when a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was observed trying to climb some cardboard near a folding table that had been set against the Eastern wall. The snake had partially retreated behind the table but was coiled and easy to tong into the bucket. This was a small adult male. Maybe 3-5 yrs?
2026-02-22
2:00 PM		 Glendale 85310 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner was picking up a package from the front porch when she noticed a rattlesnake behind a large ceramic vase. There is only one house in between this one and the dry New River riverbed. The home is also situated very close to the Thunderbird Conservation Park. After the capture, I searched for additional snakes as well as possible places where this one may have spent the winter. The backyard had a large gap under the gate, plenty of watered landscaping, and a pool. Notably, there was a large shed that sat slightly raised off the ground. This seemed like a great hiding place, but I was unsure if it was suitable for long-term protection from the cold. I did not find any other snakes.
2026-02-19
12:00 PM		 Phoenix 85050 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner was grabbing some tools from the inside corner of her garage when she spotted the baby rattlesnake. The garage door had gaps in the corners where the snake could go in and out. The home had a drainage next to it that led straight to nearby open state trust land.
2026-02-19
1:00 PM		 Peoria 85383 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake A small rattlesnake was found in a courtyard. Inspected the property and did not find any others or any obvious den situations. Discuss the situation with the homeowner.

7:00 PM		 Marana 85652 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner called for a extremely young western diamondback found in their garage where there was a gap in the seal. The snake was captured and relocated. Homeowner selected fencing on the form, I did not speak to them about it nor did I see the backyard while at the property, although it is a brand new cookie cutter housing development.

1:30 PM		 Tucson 85747 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner called regarding a rattlesnake that fell off the inside of her garage door when she opened it. She called us and I quickly responded to her location to relocate the snake. The homeowner is no stranger to rattlesnakes and has frequent visits in her backyard, as a wash runs directly on the other side of her property. The juvenile Western Diamondback was relocated to a nearby wash back into its respective habitat, into a packrat nest under deep cover. Instead of grabbing a shovel, the homeowner recognized the important ecological role rattlesnakes play and called us to remove it.
