A pair of small Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes were discovered hibernating at an irrigation box. Moisture is one of the primary factors that may get a rattlesnake to come out of its winter den for a short time, but don’t make the mistake many do of saying things like “they are out”, when it’s really more like getting up in the middle of the night to get a drink and going back to bed. These two were carefully relocated to suitable hibernation microhabitat.
