2023-11-17 7:30 PM	Tucson	85712	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	Homeowner called for some adult western diamondback but they had seen in their front courtyard. And I arrived I was able to capture the Snake and relocated nearby. Customer asked about fencing off the front courtyard and possibly the backyard there’s a few gates that would need fencing but it looks like the majority of the property is surrounded by a brick wall fence.
2023-11-17 8:30 PM	Glendale	85310	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	The homeowner got rattled at in his living room. Yesterday his mom had the door open for hours and tonight when he was walking around in the home the little rattlesnake rattled at him in the living room then coiled up in the kitchen. The back yard is very bare with no shelter for the snake. The home is centrally located in the neighborhood but there is desert on the outskirts.
2023-11-18 9:30 PM	Scottsdale	85266	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	Snake in backyard. Fence under warranty. Arrived at customer’s home and was shown to the backyard. Noticed a subadult atrox in ambush near patio furniture. Snake was fairly exposed. Utilized tongs to capture snake. Snake jumped alive and struck at tongs but otherwise was captured without incident. Performed inspection of backyard. Some areas where snakes could seek refuge. Several large Leucophyllum bushes. No other snakes found. Inspected fence line. Fence seemed in good shape and I didn’t really notice any compromised areas. The only place I saw where a small rattlesnake could possibly enter was the side gate. It seemed like it was in good shape. Customer stated that the gate did have maintenance done after fence install. There was a very thin gap between gate and jamb. I think if the snake would have entered through here it would have had to try really hard. I suspect snake may have entered when customer was taking out the garbage. Customer would like fencing team to come inspect the fence.
2023-11-18 7:30 AM	Tucson	85736	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	Rattlesnake inside the home.
2023-11-18 10:30 AM	Oro Valley	85737	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	Homeowner called for a western diamondback that was in a very tight spot underneath the front door after the fire department had to come out and decided that they could not get it out. When I arrived after a while I was able to get the snake out from under the frame but in doing so realize that it was severely injured and from my experience I could tell it was not going to survive after release. I took it to a nearby desert and euthanized it.
2023-11-18 12:00 PM	Peoria	85383	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	Rattlesnake on dash of side by side in garage.
2023-11-18 12:30 PM	Waddell	85355	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	Arrived to customer’s home and was escorted to the back patio. Customer pointed out a small mini fridge that had not been used for some time and was unplugged. Customer said they saw snake the previous day and it was half sticking out from underneath fridge. The back of the fridge was facing towards me and there was 1/4” mesh attached to the lower back half presumably to keep critters out. After a few glances I noticed a large atrox in ambush in the corner of the fridge. Snake had perched itself on a bottom panel so it was not on the ground. So if I were to tip the fridge on its side, the snake would have tipped up with it. Used power drill to remove one side of the mesh. Since the snake was in a tight area where tongs would not have worked, I used the tongs to hold back the mesh while I used hook to retrieve and bucket the snake without incident. Customer stated they thought the snake they saw was bigger than the one I captured. Snake was docile and did not rattle. Did an inspection of backyard. Very big yard. At least an acre. Rural/agricultural area. Many areas in the yard where snakes can seek refuge or den. Woodpiles, garden areas, overgrown plants, trim piles, etc. Fencing would not be appropriate for yard. Provided customer with education on snake behavior and pointed areas I was most concerned with.
