During a property inspection, Addie found a small Kingsnake traveling along the outside of the fence, seemingly looking for a way through. The property had all the ingredients for great snake habitat, so it was a bit surprising that this was the only snake encountered during the inspection. It’s a good reminder that even properties with excellent habitat don’t always produce the species you expect on any given day, and inspections provide just a snapshot of what’s active at that moment.
Modifications to this chain link gate will keep rattlesnakes out of the area in the future.
Let’s see how many people comment that it won’t work without zooming in first to see the steel mesh applied across the chainlink 😂

A Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was spotted while a fencing crew was working at one of Dave’s regular customers’ horse properties near the Tucson Mountains. The crew wisely paused work and called for a relocation. David found the snake to be exceptionally calm, never rattling or striking during the entire encounter. After offering it some water, he relocated it to suitable habitat within its estimated home range, where a large packrat nest provided excellent shelter and a safe place to continue on.
A homeowner was heading out to water her garden early in the morning when she spotted a rattlesnake still coiled in ambush from the night before. The home backed up to a small patch of desert, with a larger preserve not far beyond it, making it easy for native wildlife to move through the area. Marissa safely secured the snake and relocated it within its estimated home range to suitable habitat away from homes.
Lies detected.
This Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was parked in the only shaded area in the front yard of this Casa Grande home and was discovered by a garage door repairman who rang the doorbell and then immediately stepped back in shock as he noticed the snake. Relocated to a large rodent complex under a mesquite tree in the desert just behind the neighborhood. Austin made sure it got to a good spot.
Dane took a call from a customer out in Chino Valley for a small Mojave rattlesnake on the porch. But before he could reach the end of his driveway, she called back and said something was attacking it.
Relocation Canceled.
This homeowner called us after discovering a large Western Diamondback Rattlesnake sitting in ambush beneath a lawn decoration while she was watering her plants. She had actually called us just the day before to remove another large Western Diamondback from the backyard, and this one was nearly as impressive. When Josh arrived, he quickly secured the rattlesnake, offered it some water to help it recover from the summer heat, and completed a thorough inspection of the property to be sure no other snakes were present. He then located a suitable release site within the snake’s estimated home range, where a large rodent burrow along a desert wash provided excellent shelter and cover for the rattlesnake to continue its important role in the ecosystem.
This homeowner called after finding a large Western Diamondback Rattlesnake sitting in ambush beneath a lawn decoration in the backyard. She was no stranger to rattlesnakes, having used our services several times before, including for seven removals last year alone. While Josh was on the way, she kept a safe eye on the snake to make sure it didn’t slip away, making the removal much easier. After safely securing the rattlesnake, Josh offered it some room-temperature water to help it cool down and rehydrate before relocating it within its estimated home range. He selected a large rocky wash with excellent natural cover, releasing the snake into a deep rodent burrow beneath a Saguaro, where a large boulder and surrounding vegetation provided shade and protection. With everything a rattlesnake needs to thrive, it will hopefully spend the rest of its life there without another encounter with people.
Can you see it?
Dave and Tanner went out to pick up this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake near Tucson the other day. It was well hidden, with its pattern helping to break up its shape.
This Paradise Valley homeowner spotted a Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake near her front door and kept an eye on it as it slowly explored the front yard while waiting for Marissa to arrive. By the time she got there, the snake had made its way onto the patio, where it was safely secured. The home sits right against the mountain, surrounded by boulders and excellent native habitat. With bird feeders attracting plenty of Gambel’s Quail, the yard offered abundant food for local wildlife, making it easy to see why such a beautiful snake was passing through. After the removal, it was relocated within its estimated home range to suitable rocky habitat away from homes.
