Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner had her dogs out in her courtyard this morning when they were rattled at by a rattlesnake under a nearby lantana. Her dogs are snake-trained, so they backed away and went inside. She tried to squirt it with a hose and poke it to make it leave, but after a while, when it didn’t budge, she called us. That lantana was the only shady plant in the courtyard and the entire front yard besides the porch. She has a lot of land, but it doesn’t have much on it and is very hot. While searching around, I found a coachwhip shed and a gopher snake shed. The home has some desert around it in between homes with big lots, so it is very hard to access. I went a little further to a more wide-open area for the relocation. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner was out feeding the horses and saw this Western Diamondback stretched out in front of the barn. By the time I arrived, the snake had moved into a horse stable and taken refuge under a cart. The property was wide open to the desert, so it could have come from anywhere. Once captured, the snake made it clear it was not interested in a ride, as it rattled the entire time up until its release into a pack rat nest. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Received a call about a rattlesnake in the courtyard behind a fountain. Arrived at the property and was shown the fountain fixture, which was backed against the stucco wall that housed a garage on the other side. The customer stated he watched the snake go behind the fountain on one side and kept his eyes on it until I arrived. The customer stated the snake was approximately 2 ft long. I observed a small hole on one side of the fountain and decided to flood the area using the customer’s hose. After about 15 minutes of flooding, with nothing coming out on the side with the house, I began watching the other side, which appeared to be blocked off with rocks. Using my flashlight, I was able to see a small portion of an atrox head attempting to peek out. I used my hook to remove the rocks, and the snake exited almost immediately. I used tongs to capture it. The snake escaped the bucket five times before I was able to secure the lid. The snake definitely came from the preserve that the property backed up to. I pointed out areas of concern in the courtyard and suggested that fencing could help keep rattlesnakes from entering. The customer declined. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner called with potentially more than one rattlesnake in their backyard. Their dog had alerted them to at least one snake last night, and she saw one this morning in a different location. Upon arrival, the rattlesnake was curled up next to the gutter and hose on the side of the house, and I was able to secure it quickly. After a quick survey of the backyard, I determined that there were no additional rattlesnakes. The western diamondback was relocated into a huge rocky den in the nearby habitat. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner was alerted to a western diamondback by their golden retriever. The snake was hanging out in the homes courtyard before retreating to a bush just outside of the gate. The home is in a neighborhood nearby a new park project where the snake was likely living. The gates allowed easy access to the courtyard as they were vertical railed metal with a wide gap underneath. Easy capture and release into a nearby packrat nest. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | This is a fence customer of ours. His dog was barking, so he looked outside and saw the rattlesnake up against his back fence in the fenced secured area. He got his dog in, and the snake climbed up onto the block ledge and was trying to get over the mesh, but could not. I searched around the yard for any possible ways in and did find that some of the mesh on the view fence was puckered up, and some rocks got wedged in there; it was puckered up and could have possibly been the entry point. This home is really close to the desert preserve, and there are lots of great habitats around. |

They were kind enough to get some chairs and sit up front and watch it while I drove there. I was able to quickly secure the snake and relocate it into a pack rat nest in a nearby heavily vegetated wash. |

The home is open to the surrounding desert and she has had multiple interactions in the past. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner called about a rattlesnake in his backyard. It was coiled up in between stacks of roofing shingles. I was able to catch it as soon as I arrived. This was a prior fence customer, but it has been out of warranty for several years. The fence still looked like it was in great shape. The homeowner said he was pretty sure that a landscaper left his gate open long enough for the snake to find its way in. At the request of the homeowner, I am submitting a fence ticket for someone to take a look at the fence just in case. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Homeowner called about a rattlesnake on his back patio. While I was on my way, he texted me informing me that there was actually a second rattlesnake as well. When I arrived, both Western Diamondbacks were stretched out along the perimeter of his patio against a wall. One male and one female, likely a bonded pair. Yard is fenced, but there are a few areas where the snakes could’ve still managed to get in. I took the snakes to a nearby trailhead and released them into some deep cover within some rocks on a north facing slope. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner was cleaning up his front yard when he noticed the neonate rattlesnake on his front walkway. The little baby rattlesnake had a big bolus. It couldn’t coil up so it was just laying out straight next to a shrub in the shade. This Home’s yard was very well kept not a lot of heavy vegetation. There was some desert around throughout the homes, but nothing really large. The only close desert was blocked off getting ready to be built up. I took it a little bit further but a lot better desert. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner lives on a beautiful property with a chain-link fence all around and a natural desert area behind the house. He has an abundance of garter snakes, coyotes, javelina, and other desert friends, but this is only his second rattlesnake since 1998. Unfortunately, the snake was in some bushes and spiky tree foliage when I first attempted to obtain it. It quickly jumped up and successfully put itself into a large packrat nest. I found plenty of spiders and a fat packrat before we found our snake friend. It felt ironic to be pulling apart a packrat nest instead of putting a snake safely into one. A western diamondback was found, safely placed in a bucket, and relocated to natural desert away from the community. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner called after seeing two rattlesnakes in his yard. By the time I arrived neither of the snakes were where the homeowner saw them. I found 1 by the back left corner of the property and another underneath a bush tucked next to a rock wall where the snake had lodged itself in. The first snake was an easy grab but the second required some hose work. Relocated together into a nearby rodent The homeowner called after seeing two rattlesnakes in his yard.

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Dispatched a call regarding a snake in back yard next to hot tub under tree. When I contacted the customer they stated they believe they may have 2 snakes. Arrived at home and was escorted into the backyard by customer. They kept an eye on the snakes and pointed out where they were. I noticed two atrox situated against a stucco pillar of the patio cover. There was a VERY large male that was situated on the north side of the pillar and a female situated in the west side. Upon closer inspection I noticed the two were locked together mating. I utilized gentle tongs to first capture the male and when they did not unlock I used a hook to help support the female as I got the two into the bucket. Snakes were both fairly mellow given the situation. The male was large. Very large. It was definitely the biggest atrox I’ve captured while working for RS. Inspected the rest of the yard and no other snakes found. Yard is kept neat and landscaping plants are trimmed well enough for the most part. View fence bordered the yard on the south where there is a desert wash. Customers installed 1/2” mesh along the fence. I don’t believe the snakes came from here but rather the side gate on the west side of the home as this it was adjacent to the access point for the wash. Customers indicated interest in fencing. Given the snakes remained locked in mating I decided to keep them in the bucket and wait until morning to release them. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The home owner called to say he had a rattlesnake stuck in a glue trap in his garage, but it turned out to be a baby gopher snake. He was concerned because they had a rattlesnake in the backyard a week prior that bit the dog. The house is located in an area with lots of open desert. I took the snake home where I used olive oil to remove it from the trap. After observing it to make sure it was doing ok, it was released in the desert with deep cover. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Sonoran Gophersnake | I arrived at the maintenance yard about 50 minutes from the time the call came in. The landscapers that saw the snake were no longer present. I was told that they had seen a snake disappear into a brush pile near a dumpster. The brush pile was very large and was situated up against two drain holes, each several feet across. I began pulling branches off of the pile one at a time until I finally reached the ground when I saw a gopher snake moving through the remaining brush. I tried several times to grab the snake but was not able to capture it. It likely escaped under the large dumpster next to the brush pile. I contacted the office that called us and explained what I found. She was glad that I found the snake and was relieved it was not a rattlesnake. She said that she would call for the landscapers to come and take care of the brush. |

The yard was large with a lot of vegetation and backed up to a desert wash. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Mojave Rattlesnake | The homeowner called and reported a rattlesnake in the garage. This house is located in a wide open area with lots of open desert nearby. Both the homeowner and the snake were startled, and the snake was found curled up in the garage trying to hide. There was an open patch of land next the house, so I walked down a wash and found some trees to release it. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | This rattlesnake had been making itself home at a Del Taco for the past 3 days per the employees. He was showing up in the same spot in the afternoon, seen when taking out trash, and then would disappear at night. They did not know where the snake was. I had flipped over a rat trap several times and lifted it up with tongs, feeling satisfied there was no snake inside, and began to check the perimeter with no luck. The employee then showed me a photo of the snake and I realized it was very, very small. I went back to the rat trap, shook it and out came the young snake! He was relocated to a much better taco-less home. Stay spicy, my friend. |
