The homeowner had watched this rattlesnake come and go from the property for the past couple of years. This year, however, it seemed a little more interested in taking up permanent residence in the yard.
The home sits on 2.5 acres with desert surrounding it in every direction, so rattlesnakes moving through the property aren’t unusual. By the time Jeff arrived, this one had disappeared into a hole beneath one of the AC units.
Getting it out required a water extraction. Once the snake emerged, Jeff safely captured it and relocated it away from the neighborhood into a deep packrat nest where it had plenty of natural cover.
