Possible mating pair and I released them together in nearby habitat.

2019-04-13 4:00 PM	Tucson	85747	Western Diamondback Rattlesnake	36" 5b Western Diamondback coiled under Rosemary bush. Honestly surprised that it was there, considering the lack of habitat. I surmise they get here by following the manmade washes that contain some vegetated high ground. I chose one of these for the release point over moving it many miles to find more suitable habitat. Should be an easy fencing job as the yard is almost completely contained. One gate and some drainage holes. Contact by phone for fence referral.

When fire department arrived the snake had disappeared. He wanted a “piece of mind inspection “ to search for snake and also how it may have gotten in. The snake was not found. More then likely fled back into wash below. The fence he had did have 1/4 mesh around entire fence. But in some areas there were large gaps making it easy for snake to go in and out of. Also have the fence mesh was only a foot high. It was recommended that the fence be raised to a height of etleast 30 inches.
