Landscapers spotted this adult Western Diamondback Rattlesnake coiled by the water box … and left the area immediately. Marissa went out to catch the snake, and noticed she’d been at the same house a week prior to get a snake in the same spot (not the same snake!). The home has a decorative fountain in the front yard, which is likely an attracting feature to the thirsty snakes living in the preserve across the way. The water box also had some moisture in it, making for an easy spot to drink, stay cool, and hunt rodents looking to do the same.
