Rattlesnake Hiding In A Backyard

Rattlesnake Hiding In A Backyard

This Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was just barely visible in this potted plant in a Phoenix backyard. The shade, water, and cover make for a great spot for a thirsty animal to hang out over the summer. The yard had some snake fencing installed by a landscaper or similar, which was only partially completed, making more of a snake trap than a deterrent, unfortunately. Cheyenne safely captured the snake and advised on having the snake fence replaced.
