Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The caller reported a rattlesnake under the cars in the garage. I arrived and the snake had moved in between some boxes in the garage. I was able to remove it without incident. A courtesy inspection of the yard was completed. During the inspection, I noted a very deep rodent burrow just outside the garage side entry door. A nearby hose was used to attempt to draw anything that may be in there, however, nothing emerged. A fairly recent shedding was found in a lantana bush just under the hose bib in the rear yard. It appears to belong to a juvenile WDB. It is possible this snake was overwintering in the rodent burrow. As such, I collapsed the burrow to the best of my ability. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Sonoran Gophersnake | The homeowners saw what they thought was a rattlesnake slither behind a stack of firewood in their backyard. It ended up being a Sonoran Gophersnake but they still asked that I relocate it. This home was in a Cave Creek neighborhood near a golf course. It had a lot of landscaping, a pool, and a large firewood pile. There was not a lot of easy access in or out of the yard other than from the gap under the large double-doored gate. The homeowners were interested in having the fence team give an estimate to seal this gap as they have had a rattlesnake in the pool filter in the past. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner was moving some things around in the garage when he was startled by a rattlesnake rattling at him from about four feet up on a utility shelf. His wife was also in the garage and said that she had been unknowingly walking past the snake for almost an hour. This Cave Creek home was surrounded by a lot of other homes and was not close to any native desert. However, like many of the other neighborhoods in this area, it has many narrow drainages running throughout. making for a somewhat save path to travel. The garage was full. It had a lot of shelving, and a lot of containers and boxes stacked high and deep. Although it's been warm for a few weeks now there is a chance that this snake was still not far from where it spent the winter, and this garage would have been perfect for it. The homeowner did say that the garage door was open for about an hour yesterday, so if the snake did come from outside, it may have been through the open door. Once the snake was in the bucket, I searched the rest of the garage as best as I could, but I did not find any other snakes. I recommended that they use caution when moving the remaining boxes. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The callers were renting an Airbnb in the Cave Creek area very nearby the main preserve. They reported to have come out the sliding glass door to the back pool area to view the stars, and within 30 minutes of walking back, the young rattlesnake was curled up in front of the door they had just come out of. When I arrived the snake was still in the same position and easily captured, as I inspected the area about 10 feet from the sliding glass door was a large landscaping rock with holes going under it by which I saw a snake shed outside of it, and explained my suspicion that's where the snake likely came from. While further inspecting the back yard there were several rodent boxes laid out and lots of rodent droppings in various locations along with many large landscaping rocks. The home is centered in optimal desert habitat along side a preserve with several new homes under construction in the area. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Sonoran Gophersnake | 2 snakes were called in. The snakes did separate, so the homeowner could not watch both, but knew their general areas. I found the adult in some lantana in their side yard. There was apparently a baby with it that went into the desert area next to their home but I could not find it. Spent time educating on coexisting in the future and that we are available 24/7 to identify a snake for them via the hotline and texting a photo. They never plan to fence their property. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Caller reported a rattlesnake crawling along the outside of their fence. They managed to spray the snake with a hose to get it to fall into the desert but it continued toward the front of the house, prompting them to call us. The snake remained there until I arrived and was removed without incident. A courtesy inspection was completed and no additional snakes were found. The snake was likely attracted by the water fish |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowners have used our services before and they called today with a report of 2 rattlesnakes. They were able to keep track of one, however, the 2nd snake was unable to be located. I found the pipe where the snakes were overwintering and sharing the space with rodents. I used water to attempt to draw anything out but only a packrat made its way out. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Snake was found in backyard under some bushes and they have 2 large dogs. They were able to watch the snake for me and it stayed in one place rattling at them the whole time. Homeowners were relieved the snake would be ethically relocated as they didn't want any harm to come to it. Home with some view fencing but they are happy to live with the desert wildlife and do not want any changes/rattlesnake fencing. They usually coexist if they find nonvenonous snakes in the backyard or rattlesnakes out front. |

Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Rattlesnake inside the backyard near the a/c unit.

The snake had traveled to the far side of the home by the time I arrived. I was able to remove it without incident. The homeowners have a very low view fence. I advised them to install snake fencing. They are “on the fence” about fencing. I told them I would have the fencing team reach out so they at least have the option going forward. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner saw the snake earlier this morning around ten coiled in her back yard. She had to go to work so she just left it. When she got home around 2pm she saw the snake slithering in her grass in the back yard. When I arrived it was coiled up right by the gate in the back yard. The home didn’t have much cover in the yard. There was a big drainage behind the home that led straight to open desert. They had a block fence and one gate. |

The home has a large yard but most of the plants are in pots on the patio. They have a block fence with a lot of drainage holes and three gates. The home has some desert next to it but even more just down the road. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowners called to request the relocation of a rattlesnake from the backyard. When I arrived, there were several very excited children to manage while the dad kept watch over the snake, which had moved between the house and the shed next to it. I removed the rattlesnake from the snug area and got it contained in the bucket for relocation. The home was in a well-developed gated community that had several vegetated desert washes running through it that connect to ideal desert habitat in the Cave Creek area. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Kingsnake | Customer watched a kingsnake enter her garage as she opened it. There was standing water on the large leaves of overgrown agave right next to the garage door as well as rodent activity, which is likely what attracted the snake to this area. I advised the client to trim the agave and eliminate the rodent problem to reduce risk of additional reptile visitors. No other snakes were recovered. |

9:30 PM |
Cave Creek | 85331 | Sonoran Gophersnake | I was dispatched a call for a snake under trash can. Customer sent picture of snake’s head peaking out from underneath the trash can and I confirmed it was a gophersnake. Snakes neck/throat appeared extremely pinched underneath the can and I assumed it was dead but customer still wanted us to grab it. Met customer’s in the side yard where they pointed out the snake. Snakes head appeared the same as in pictures. Once I tilted the dumpster up the snake bolted and I was able to capture it with my left hand. Snake struck my left hand but no injury. I bucketed snake and performed inspection of the rest of the yard. There were two areas in the yard when quail chicks had recently hatched and I suspect the reason why the snake was in the yard. No other snakes found. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Client called with a report of a juvenile Western Diamondback in the back corner of the rear yard near the entry gate.

No other snakes were recovered. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Nightsnake | The homeowner saw the snake stuck to the trap inside the garage several hours before she called. She put the snake outside the garage but it was in the shade. I was able to get the snake off the trap but it was very weak and its mouth needed to be readjusted. The homeowner said she didn’t know she had those traps. She lives next to a desert drainage and a few parks. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Coachwhip | The homeowner saw the coachwhip in his backyard several days ago. He called in, and I advised they move on pretty fast to just wait it out and it will eventually leave. Today he saw the snake again. It was in a tree and it dropped a bird and then it eventually ate the bird. And then it went under a bush. He wanted me to come get it this time just because it has been a few days and he still sees it. It was a big beautiful coachwhip, and it did have a bird in its belly. The homeowner had a lot of heavy vegetation and a well-watered yard. They also had a desert drainage behind them leading to more desert and a golf course not far from that. |

2:00 PM |
Cave Creek | 85331 | Sonoran Gophersnake | The caller reported a snake moving through the rear yard. I arrived and the snake was under a bush and only slowly moving both due to being observed and having recently ingested a meal. This client has rattlesnake fencing and is no stranger to Rattlesnake Solutions. He was interested in how the snake may have entered the yard. I advised the client that these Gophersnakes are adept climbers and pointed out the most likely areas in which it could have made entry. I made recommendations to trim the branches protruding through the fencing along the back view fence. I also provided a theory that the snake could have climbed the bougainvillea that hugs the perimeter wall on the side of the house. No other snakes were recovered. |

12:30 PM |
Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The caller reported a large rattlesnake in the rear yard. When I arrived I immediately observed a Western Diamondback rattlesnake, entirely missing its rattle, moving along some decorative cinder blocks. I was able to quickly remove the snake without incident. No other snakes were recovered during my inspection. The homeowner was strongly advised to remove the overgrown non-native grasses in the rear yard as well as any low lying bushes. |

5:30 PM |
Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Arrived at the property and was escorted to the backyard by the homeowner. Met husband in the backyard and he pointed out where the snake was. I observed an adult atrox in ambush atop landscaping gravel next to a plastic storage container. Used tongs to capture the snake with no issue. Snake had a mellow disposition throughout the whole encounter. The customer stated the landscaper was removing some matted oregano bushes from a terrace above the pit opposite the pool. The landscaper said he lost the snake, and the customer suspects this is the snake. The customer stated it’s the second rattlesnake he’s seen in 10 years. Inspected the rest of the property including the rest of the oregano patch and no snakes were found. Customer had a view fence atop a pony wall that I’m not certain a wdb the size of the one in the bucket could have climbed and I suspect the snake may have entered through one of the gates in either side yard. I don’t suspect the snake was in the yard for a very long time as I saw no signs of denning. Offered the customer a free fence quote and he accepted. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The caller spotted a rattlesnake coiled under a bush she was about to trim. When I arrived the snake was still sitting in ambush looking particularly regal. The snake was quickly removed without incident. During my inspection, I located multiple sheddings at different locations on the property and they appeared to be from separate individuals. I made several recommendations to the homeowners to reduce the number of attractive features of their yards. |

7:00 PM |
Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowners called after the neighbors saw a rattlesnake cross the road into their front yard, they saw the snake bedded down and curled up in the lantana bushes/ground cover near their front door. When I arrived they were sitting nearby keeping watch of the snake, but it had just started to move away a few feet from where they had last eyes on it, but I immediately noticed it and bucketed the snake. The home is the first corner property adjacent to a broken-up desert habitat within well-developed gated communities. They are 3x repeat removal customers and have snake fencing for the backyard. |

12:00 PM |
Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner saw the snake in her front yard eating a mouse and then it went to her back yard. She lost sight of it but I found it coiled under the AC unit. The yard didn’t have much for cover but was right next to a drainage area with some big boulders and lots of desert vegetation. |
| 2026-05-09
10:00 AM |
Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | A large western diamondback was seen in a raised flower bed with lots of shade and moisture. When I arrived, the snake had moved further down behind some very dense foliage. I was able to locate a very sizable, male, Western Diamondback. I performed a property inspection and found a fairly new shedding from another smaller Atrox. The property is massive and there is an incredible abundance of prey items, shelter and water. This property will likely be no stranger to us and will most likely have calls in the future. |

6:30 PM |
Cave Creek | 85262 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Rattlesnake in front yard. Homeowners are currently doing construction of their house and adding a pool. Beccause they are going to tear down the wall for the pool addition, they do not need snake fencing in that area yet but they do have an enclosed garbage can area with side gate, another enclosed area on the opposite side of the house and a third front entry courtyard area in the meantime. They would like a recommendation for a new, large front gate as well but I told her I do not know if we have a connection like that. Solid walls all around home so fencing would just be flood holes and gates. Wife is from Australia and petrified of rattlesnakes and coyotes. They have a boxer dog and she would not be reassured that this dog was too big for a coyote to mess with. |

10:00 PM |
Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Dispatched a call about a baby rattlesnake in the side yard. Arrived at home and was greeted by the homeowner who escorted me to the backyard. The customer stated they initially noticed a snake on the back patio on the north end of the home and it slowly made its way to the side yard on the west. Snake eventually settled underneath a metal ramp that was on the ground. Lifted the ramp and noticed a small (< 1 year) atrox in ambush. Utilized giant tweezers to capture and secure the snake with no issue. Performed inspection for the rest of the yard and no snakes were found. *** Customer stated that they had a fencing quote from RS before but did not move forward with it. The customer would like to have fencing installed now. *** |

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. |

7:30 AM |
Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowners called us after seeing a rattlesnake in their chicken coop. This home was in a rural area just outside of Cave Creek and surrounded by native desert. The snake was found resting in a shady area inside of the coop. There were no chickens present at the time. The property was large, with a lot of places to hide including sheds, other structures, animal enclosures, and various gardens and landscaping. I searched as much as possible and was surprised to not find any additional snakes. |
