This Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was spotted by a dog in Mesa. The homeowner noticed the dog staring at something and backing up (good dog!) and went to check it out, and it was this well-hidden Western Diamondback Rattlesnake.
The shed behind it is an ideal situation for rattlesnakes, with plenty of cover and easy access. Ultimately, this is what must be addressed to prevent future encounters.
