It’s cold outside, but that’s not going to last long. We’re ~2 months before your daily feed is full of “there was a rattler in my yard!!!” posts. If that’s not something you ever want to write out for yourself, now’s the time. The schedule fill fill up FAST as soon as Spring hits!

Here are photos from a recent project.

Earlier in the day, a realtor was showing a home and they saw a snake inside. It darted under a couch … and that was that for that sale :/

Marissa was called out to look for it a few hours later, and she found it in the living room trying to find a way out. It’s a baby Coachwhip, which often get inside homes just after they hatch and are out there learning how to snake.

The heat is here! With the extremely high temperatures, snakes and other reptiles are having a hard time staying cool and hydrated. Imagine living out there without AC … so, they end up near homes to take advantage of all of the shade and water we leave out there for them.

This is a big part of why it’s so important to know a lot about the natural history of these animals before even attempting to relocate them. They need very specific cover in order to survive, and moving them even a few feet in this heat can be deadly.

With clouds on the horizon, we are hoping things change soon.

Spring has been very busy! These are just a handful of the hundreds of snakes we have been called to relocate over the past couple of months.
