4:30 PM		 Phoenix 85050 Sonoran Gophersnake Gopher in garage
2025-05-02
5:00 PM		 Phoenix 85085 Sonoran Gophersnake The customer indicated a rattlesnake in the irrigation box which was located by the pest control service. After opening the box myself, I identified the snake as a Sonoran Gopher Snake. The property backs up to the desert, and likely came into the yard through the back fence.

4:00 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake Received dispatch and called customer stating I was 30minutes away. Was greeted by husband at the side gate and he escorted me into the backyard. He stated that he saw a diamond pattern but was not able to see the tail. Customer stated that he did not hear a rattle. Informed the customer that I believed there was a good change it could be a gophersnake due to the area and where the house was situated in the neighborhood. The neighborhood was amongst a golf course and though there were washes that ran through it they were landscaped and manicured. There was no real deep desert, so to speak, that was nearby. Customer informed me where the snake was and I went into the smaller shaded side yard on the east side of the house. Against the house was a bicycle that was covered by a plastic tarp. I lifted the tarp utilizing my tongs and immediately noticed the medium sized gophersnake curled underneath the eve of the stucco wall. Used hands to capture snake and bucket with no issues. Snake was mellow and did not hiss once. Once bucketed I performed an inspection of the rest of the yard. No other snakes found. I informed the customer that I believed the snake entered though the drainage blocks of the cinder block wall on the east side of the home and was likely seeking refuge from the mid-afternoon sun. Customer stated that he had a coachwhip stuck on a glue trap some years back but has never seen a rattlesnake. I informed customer that that was not surprising and that due to where his home was situated in the neighborhood I believed that the chance of a rattlesnake encounter at this property was low but certainly not zero. Provided customer with education on differences in colubrid snakes and rattlesnakes. There were several children at the home who wished to see the snake and with the customer’s permission I took the snake out of the bucket with hook and eased it into my hands. I showed the children the gophersnake from a safe distance as they did not want to touch it.

9:30 PM		 Queen Creek 85142 Sonoran Gophersnake Arrived at customer’s home and was greeted by customer and neighbors crowded in a driveway that was not the initial address of the call. Customer stated that the snake had been slowly crawling around the neighborhood for over an hour. Customer stated he wasn’t sure what the snake was but that it was “at least 4ft long and skinny like he hasn’t eaten in a while.” Customer also said snake defecated while going through the side yard. Customer led me through side gate and I asked if I could lead and customer obliged. Went through side yard to the east of the home and did notice snake feces on the landscaping halfway down the side yard. I followed the fence line around and as I did a visual sweep I noticed a large gophersnake crawling on the opposite side of the pool along the wall. Approached snake and used hands to capture it. Snake was mellow and maybe a little lethargic but did not seem skinny like the customer stated. Bucketed the snake with no issue and performed quick inspection of the property. No other snakes found. The neighborhood was a year old and surrounded by old farmland but there wasn’t really desert habitat nearby so offering snake fencing did not seem appropriate.

10:30 AM		 Paradise Valley 85253 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner saw the snake by his front door. He knew it was harmless but wanted it gone.

2:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85254 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner was out in the back yard when he spotted a snake by a bunch of pots in the shade. He said it rattled so he thought it was a rattlesnake. It ended up being a large gophersnake. In one of the pots there was 5 quail eggs so it looks like the snake was just eating some eggs. The home didn’t have much vegetation but there neighbors had a lot. They also were surrounded by golf courses.

3:00 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake This homeowner called about a large rattlesnake in their backyard. Upon arrival it was determined that it was just a large gopher snake, however, they still wanted it removed. There were a few entry points in the side gates of the backyard. The back wall had some drainage holes, but they were all covered with fine mesh. The backyard was very large, with some grass and a lot of shady bushes… multiple good hiding spots for any reptile. The snake was taken across the street and hiked into the nearby patch of desert where it was released into a large packrat nest above a small wash and away from homes.

2025-05-26
1:00 PM		 Phoenix 85050 Sonoran Gophersnake A Sonoran gophersnake was found by a family with its head stuck in one glue trap and its tail stuck in another. I was able to place the snake and the glue traps directly into a bucket and take them home, where I poured olive oil on the snake, let it sit for some time, and then gently massaged the snake free without any damage. The snake was then given water and taken back to the area where it was originally found, and relocated 1.5 miles away in nearby natural desert, into a rodent burrow with surrounding desert tree cover.
2025-05-26
11:00 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner noticed she had about 17 quail eggs in a pot in the backyard. Over the last few days, she realized they had been disappearing. This morning, she saw a gophersnake slither away from the pot and into a nearby drain pipe in the ground. I started to flood the pipe, but the water just kept going and I wasn’t sure where the pipe ended. After about 15 minutes, the gophersnake finally showed its head, and several minutes later it fully emerged. It was a smaller gophersnake and did not have eggs in its belly, so I’m not sure who else had been snacking. I checked the rest of the yard, which was within our fencing, and didn’t see anything.

2:00 PM		 Phoenix 85028 Sonoran Gophersnake Homeowner called about an unknown snake under some patio furniture. Upon arrival I determined that it was a Sonoran Gophersnake.

Snake was taken to better habitat in the preserve and placed into deep cover under a palo verde tree in a wash.

Upon arrival, I was shown a photo of a gopher snake’s head emerging from underneath the security door threshold. The snake was no longer in that exact area, but there was a crack in the foundation next to the door large enough for it to enter. I used a hose to flush out the gopher snake. This took more than an hour, so I cleared the yard in the meantime to ensure no other snakes were present.

8:30 PM		 Paradise Valley 85253 Sonoran Gophersnake Homeowner called about an unknown snake in her garage. Upon arrival I was able to locate the snake very quickly thanks to her having minimal clutter in her garage.

Snake was taken to a nearby golf course and released into deep cover in a wash that runs through the middle of the course.

8:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake The customer had already been visited twice by Marissa for a reported “rattlesnake.” Today, the homeowner saw another snake on his back patio, and I ran over since I was only a mile away.

4:30 PM		 Phoenix 85044 Sonoran Gophersnake Homeowner called about a gopher snake in his backyard. He was not home, but some workers were in the yard and sent him a video of the snake crawling under some fake turf that he had just removed and stored on the side of the house. The backyard had a pool and well-maintained bushes, but the stacks of turf on the side yard were still wet from the rain last night, providing great cover to escape the heat of the day. I took the snake to a nearby trailhead and released it into deep cover in a rocky wash away from homes.

Snake was found behind a large patio couch and relocated to a nearby mountain preserve.
