This homeowner contacted us after discovering a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake cruising through his backyard cactus garden. Josh arrived quickly and safely secured the docile adult rattlesnake in a bucket.
While searching for a suitable release location nearby within the snake’s estimated home range, Josh stumbled across what could only be described as a jackpot of habitat. A large active stream running near a canyon created the perfect environment for wildlife, and alongside the water was an active rodent den absolutely teeming with life.
With abundant access to food, water, and shelter, the rattlesnake was relocated to an ideal area where it can hopefully live a long, healthy life with far less chance of future human conflict.
