Rattlesnake Family Found In Backyard

From Bryce: “A family that moved from out of state a few years ago noticed a couple snakes hanging out by their potting plants on the patio, so they called for us to come and investigate. I found a mother western diamondback coiled at the base of the potting plants alongside 7 babies, all tucked further back in this photo. All were relocated to a pack rat nest, where momma watched me as I relocated each and every one of her youngins’”

Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Found In Phoenix

This Western Diamondback Rattlesnake had an unfortunate run-in with a dog before we were called out to find and relocate it. Dogs, unlike people, are typically bitten upon second action – where the snake is approached or attacked. This is why rattlesnake aversion training can be critical.

Note:* It is a natural question in these situations to ask how the dog is doing. We know that our role in these cases is to simply provide information and do our job, and we don’t inquire for more information than is offered. Statistically, however, since the homeowner took quick action and chose a vet that works with antivenom, odds are in its favor.

Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes Found In Backyards

It’s always nice when the rattlesnake we’re called to capture ends up being a speckled rattlesnake! These pretty snakes are found near mountains, and we never get tired of them. This one was found late on a summer night near South Mountain, and taken back to the preserve.

Packrat Nests Attract Rattlesnakes

A large packrat nest built below dense vegetation is an ideal situation for rattlesnakes to live. These structures might not look like much, but are well-insulated with higher ambient moisture than the surrounding area. This was discussed with the homeowner as part of a property inspection service.

Baby Snake Loses A Home Sale

Earlier in the day, a realtor was showing a home and they saw a snake inside. It darted under a couch … and that was that for that sale :/

Marissa was called out to look for it a few hours later, and she found it in the living room trying to find a way out. It’s a baby Coachwhip, which often get inside homes just after they hatch and are out there learning how to snake.

A Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was found hidden away between a pole and pot. Any shaded area will help keep a snake keep cool during the hot summer months (this was in August), especially when it means contact with the foundation.
