This Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was first spotted the night before near a front entry and ended up staying put overnight, pancaked under a bush in the shade by the time Jon arrived. The area had everything it needed, including shade, moisture, and plenty of prey like young rabbits, with the home backing directly to miles of open desert and washes. Jon safely removed the snake and released it into suitable cover within its estimated home range. The homeowners were very grateful to have it relocated safely.
