1:30 PM		 Peoria 85383 Sonoran Gophersnake The caller reported a large rattlesnake in her rear yard. Unfortunately, she lost track of the snake. I was able to locate the snake during the inspection. It had come to rest/hide in a void in the cinderblock wall. I was unable to get an in-situ photo due to the low light in the void. No other snakes were recovered. I advised the client to trim the bushes and address the rodent activity to reduce attractiveness of the yard to reptiles.

9:00 AM		 Scottsdale 85266 Sonoran Gophersnake Her landscapers saw the snake yesterday in her side yard, near her garden. It was tangled in some netting and she decided to call today to have it removed. Poor snake had been out there awhile thankfully the weather has been cool. The snake did have some scale damage where the netting was cutting into its body. It had a few eggs in its belly that got it hung up. The homeowner had a garden and backed up to a golf course with a view fence. There were patches of desert throughout the community.

3:00 PM		 Phoenix 85048 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner first saw the snake by his front door. It then moved to a nearby bush. There was a hole, so I put some water in there and it came right out. The home had two grassy parks by it and a desert mountainside across the street. The yard itself didn’t have too much cover a few plants out front and a shed in the back yard.
2026-05-01
11:00 AM		 Phoenix 85020 Sonoran Gophersnake The snake was near a walk way by the pool at this resort. They thought it was a rattlesnake but it was just a gophersnake under a bush. The desert was a few feet away from this. The resort is built on a mountain side.

2026-05-08
7:00 PM		 Phoenix 85050 Sonoran Gophersnake We got a call from the homeowners saying that there was a snake in their garage. I arrived to find a very tidy, and uncluttered space. There was almost nowhere for a snake to hide, and I was quickly able to check the entire area. I wanted to see about the gaps in the corners of the door, so I had them close it again for me. As I was looking for small spaces where a snake could enter or exit, we spotted the snake wedged up in the sections of the door. With the door open, the snake had been suspended just above our heads the entire time. It was thankfully unharmed. I did not find any additional snakes on the property, which was close to open, native habitat as well as a golf course.

8:30 AM		 Phoenix 85083 Sonoran Gophersnake Very nice couple who moved into this house 3 years ago. They are avid gardeners and have planted a lot of plants to eat with their Indian cooking. As well as a plethora of fruit trees. They have had rattlesnakes before, although, today it was just a sonoran gophersnake. Their neighbors have used our services so they decided to today and are interested in snake fencing for the future. Mostly block wall with side gate. Some areas where the block wall has gaps in corners.

4:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowners called stating that there was a snake in the bedroom that they contained under a small waste basket but were unsure of what kind of snake it was. They said that the snake was hissing and striking out at them so they were too afraid to lift the bucket to remove the snake on their own. When I arrived the snake was as described under a wastebasket. I slowly lifted the waste basket and was able to quickly identify that it was a Sonoran gopher snake which I easily captured and placed into a bag for relocation. The home is located in a semi-rural Cave Creek community surrounded by lots and lots of natural desert habitat and not far from a hiking area. The homeowner stated that they had once seen a snake come from the closet that contained the air heating and handling unit which goes up into the attic. It is open to the attic and there was lots of light coming in. I encourage them to either seal the closet that is in or to have someone go up into the attic and spray foam or seal any possible holes into the house and to look for other holes into the house as the homeowners were certain that they never left any doors open to the outside as they have a cat that is indoor only. The homeowners expressed interest in the snake fencing, but I was unable to go out to the backyard and check out what they were already working with. Since the snake was captured inside the home, a deeper conversation would need to be had to understand their wishes around that. Otherwise, I explained that gopher snakes are very good climbers while rattlesnakes are not. I then relocated the snake to the nearby slate trailhead. Not far up the street underneath a large boulder.

3:00 PM		 Phoenix 85022 Sonoran Gophersnake Caller reported a rattlesnake (identified by a family member) coiled by the front door. Upon arrival, I quickly identified the snake as a Sonoran Gophersnake. The snake was taking advantage of the shade and standing water in the potted plant overflow basin. The snake was removed without incident and no other snakes were recovered. The snake is missing a small portion of its tail and it has scarred over.
2026-05-16
1:00 PM		 Phoenix 85022 Sonoran Gophersnake Caller reported a large snake in the backyard amongst the potted plants. When I arrived, the snake’s head was poking out from inside a void in a clay pot. I was able to grab her as she exited the void. No other snakes were recovered.

7:00 PM		 Tucson 85710 Sonoran Gophersnake Sizable adult.
2026-05-20
7:30 PM		 Phoenix 85044 Sonoran Gophersnake Gopher in front of residents garage.
2026-05-22
11:30 AM		 Phoenix 85048 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner heard his dog barking in the back yard, so he went and looked and saw the large snake. Not knowing what kind it was, he got the dog inside and watched the snake go behind a nearby paver that was leaned on the fence. It ended up being a gophersnake. They have lived in this home for 30 years without seeing a snake. The home had a grassy yard with very little vegetation. There was an elementary school across the street and a big drainage the lead to a desert hillside on the other side of the home.
2026-05-23
10:30 AM		 Phoenix 85044 Sonoran Gophersnake Gophersnake in a large bush/tree in the front yard. It is their first snake in 6 years. Over the phone, I said it was likely nonvenomous and offered that they send me a photo, but they said they wanted it removed no matter what.
2026-05-25
6:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85259 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowners called stating they saw a yellow and striped snake that they could not identify calling along their wall. They insisted I come relocate the snake even though I assured them it was non-venomous and harmless. When I arrived, they reported that their neighbor came and took the snake for them to relocate it, but still wanted me to inspect the property for further snakes. I found an additional gopher snake after confirming the first snake was also a gopher snake. The Gopher snake that I found was climbing up some of their bushes along the back wall in their backyard. The home has an oasis of plant life as the homeowners are very into gardening. I gave them advice on trimming the bushes, thinner and up off the ground so that it didn't offer as much cover and homes for the snakes to find appealing. The home does have rattlesnake fencing along their gate and other areas but has a block wall. I did a thorough inspection of the front and backyard. The home is in a well-developed gated community, but it has lots of natural desert landscape and botany throughout the community that offers plenty of natural habitat as well as not being far from a local preserve and trail system. The snakes were both released together as they were suspected to be a mating pair. I had gotten in touch with the neighbor who is a local herper that I know well and we got to release the snakes as a pair
2026-05-26
11:30 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner was putting the trash cans from the backyard out by the road when she saw a snake under one. She thought it was a rattlesnake. It was a gophersnake and she was relieved. There wasn't much desert around here but small pockets throughout the homes.
2026-06-01
12:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner spotted what she believed to be a rattlesnake on the side of their home near where they keep their trash cans. When I arrived, I had to move a few miscellaneous items that had been stacked up awaiting trash day. I found a small gophersnake that quickly retreated into a gap in the blocks that made up the side wall and the gate. It only took a little bit of water from the hose to gently coax the snake back out. I got it in the bucket and searched the yard for others but found none. The home was located in a typical Cave Creek neighborhood with lots of native drainages running throughout. The back yard had a view fence that opened to one of these drainages, but the footer was several feet high. While this snake may have entered up and over it, it would be a challenge for a small to medium-sized rattlesnake. There were large gaps around the gate and a few in the block that any snake could enter or exit with ease. The homeowner asked that I remove the gopher snake for fear that her dog would harm it.
2026-06-02
11:30 AM		 Tucson 85750 Sonoran Gophersnake Back end hit by vehicle. Nasty injury. Perhaps 50/50 on survival.

2026-06-14
7:30 AM		 Surprise 85379 Sonoran Gophersnake We were called to a Surprise neighborhood after a homeowner had spotted a Gophersnake while letting his dog out. The home was located in a suburban neighborhood, miles from any native desert. The yard had plenty of irrigated landscaping, a pool, and grass. There were large gaps under the gate, as well as an open drain in the block wall. The snake was quickly removed, and no other snakes were found.
2026-06-15
11:30 AM		 Scottsdale 85259 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner saw the large snake stretched out on his back patio. The snake was still in the same spot when I arrived. The home backs up to a golf course with desert surrounding it.

2026-06-19
2:00 PM		 Tucson 85746 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner noticed a snake when they went outside to take the dog in the backyard. Unsure of it being a Rattlesnake the homeowner called to have it relocated. Snake was located in the corner of the home, coiled up. The surrounding area where the snake was located is open desert behind the home with plenty of natural shade.
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.
2026-06-27
12:30 PM		 Mesa 85207 Sonoran Gophersnake Sonoran gophersnake hanging around the pool fountain. Secured the snake in a bucket and inspected the yard for snakes but found no others. Minimal landscaping with a small pool/waterfall.
2026-07-13
11:30 AM		 Sun City 85351 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner\'s dogs alerted them to a very large Gophersnake in a shaded area next to the home. The snake was bedded down on the ground under a dense canopy of recently watered plants. The home was situated near a golf course and not far from a dry riverbed. I searched the rest of the yard, which had some very nice DIY fencing blocking off drain holes around the wall, but the gate leading to the front yard had a huge gap underneath that a snake of any size could easily enter. I did not find any additional snakes
2026-07-13
12:30 PM		 Phoenix 85020 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner called about a “large rattlesnake” under her bathroom sink. When I arrived I discovered that it was actually a large Gophersnake that was stuck to two glue traps and attempting to eat a large mouse that was stuck to another glue trap. I was able to free the snake relatively easily with cooking spray and the snake was unharmed. Home is right up against a desert preserve and the homeowner said that rats are able to access her bathroom sink via faulty piping under the home so the snake must have found its way inside the home that way.
2026-07-13
1:00 PM		 Scottsdale 85260 Sonoran Gophersnake I arrived and it was a Sonoran Gophersnake that was at one point stuck to a glue trap, but freed itself and was now stuck to the floor and wall. I got it off but ended up covered in glue myself. Awkward.

2026-07-14
9:30 PM		 Paradise Valley 85253 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowners contacted us after seeing a gopher snake on the driveway of their Paradise Valley home. It was a warm and rainy night, and I did not expect to find the snake after the 45-minute drive. When I arrived, the homeowners were more concerned about me searching the property for additional snakes. It was a large, wide-open property with very little landscaping, except around the perimeter wall, so it was easy to search. There were several gates between the front and back yards, all of which had large gaps underneath. I ended up finding the Gophersnake that was seen earlier and at the very end of my search. It was just about to leave the property into the road, so I captured it before it found its way into a neighbors yard or got hit by a car.
2026-07-19
7:00 PM		 Marana 85658 Sonoran Gophersnake The snake was on the front porch. Ask the homeowner if they wished to keep said snake. Homeowner declined the offer. Released the Gopher snake into a deep pack rat burrow by a tree about 1/8 of a mile.

6:00 PM		 Chandler 85286 Sonoran Desert Toad The homeowner noticed a large hole on the side of her walkway leading up to her front door. She watered the hole out last night and a Sonoran desert toad came out. She google it and found out it was poisonous plus she watches our Tik toks so she knew it was harmful. I watered out the hole and after it filled up I was able to catch the toad it was the size of a tennis ball.

2024-09-01
12:30 PM		 Phoenix 85024 Sonoran Coralsnake Received a call about coralsnake in garage. Customer text a photo and I confirmed ID. Arrived at home and was met by customer and her father in garage. Noticed the snake in the trap on the north side of the garage door. The snake had wrapped itself around the door track. Customer stated that snake was hissing at them prior to my arrival. Used Pam spray and rubber grips on giant tweezers to gently work the oil on and release snake from the trap. Once free I used tweezers to place into bucket. Snake seemed somewhat docile but this was my first encounter with this species so I’m not sure if it was typical behavior. Offered property inspection but customer declined. Provided education on snake behavior and offered a free fencing quote for rattlesnake prevention and customer declined. Garage door seal was in good shape and home is brand new.

None 0 Smiths Blackheaded Snake A woman from Wells Fargo called to have a snake removed from their office building. The snake had been seen slithering across the floor but not all for quite some time after. They had it blocked off and had been watching the area. I arrived to search the area and looked under some file cabinets to find a little tongue flickering out from behind a piece if paper. I used my hook to coax him out and grab him.

They were also surrounded by wide open desert.
