Dave was called to an abandoned building near Tucson where workers had arrived to begin demolition. Here’s what he said about it: I was led to a room and immediately buzzed by a postpartum female Western Diamondback. After securing her,I proceeded to lift some of the stuff around where she had been coiled and quickly […]

A Fourth of July relocation call for Candace turned up this Sonoran Coralsnake. These are tiny, venomous snakes, but not really something people need to worry about. Just don’t pick it up, and there’s really no danger. They have small, front-fixed fangs and can deliver venom. However, these little snakes here in Arizona tend to […]

The homeowner was on his back patio when he caught a glimpse of a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake’s tail disappearing into a hole beneath the concrete. By the time Marissa arrived, the snake was completely out of sight. Marissa used a hose to slowly water the hole, and after about five minutes, the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake […]

Aleksa got a call about a large “white rattlesnake” loose inside a home. The homeowners had managed to close off the part of the house where they had seen it, and they were adamant that it was definitely a rattlesnake. Given the unusual description, there was some thought that it might turn out to be […]

This Coachwhip tried to find shelter inside the weep screed of a Phoenix home but ended up getting stuck in one of the small drainage holes instead. What was probably intended to be a quick hiding place turned into a situation the snake couldn’t get itself out of. Mark spent about 40 minutes carefully working […]

This late-night Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was found at an RV park in Mesa, where finding appropriate habitat for a release presented a challenge. Very little desert remains around the property, and the small patch that does exist is surrounded by roughly seven-foot fencing. With few good options nearby, Austin took the rattlesnake farther east to […]

A security guard spotted this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake cruising through a North Phoenix parking lot at about 2:30 in the morning. With nothing but pavement in every direction, the snake was probably feeling pretty lost. But in many ways, aren’t we all just a snake cruising through a parking lot at 2:30 AM, searching for […]

Well, this is interesting. Another one of these at the same house as the last one 🙂 It’s likely a sibling, which adds quite a bit to the story. If any of you remember the first one that ended up making national news, and getting us everything from illegal offers to threats of violence: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EWZqohRV2/

This mature Western Diamondback Rattlesnake had it made at this North Phoenix property. The homeowner loves to garden, and the yard has developed into its own little desert forest of mature trees and shrubs. All of that vegetation attracts birds, rabbits, and plenty of other wildlife, making the property attractive to rattlesnakes as well. This […]

This homeowner spotted a large Western Diamondback Rattlesnake sitting in ambush among the plants in the garden and wisely gave us a call. The snake was exceptionally well camouflaged, making it easy to overlook until it was spotted. David was able to safely capture it without difficulty, and despite its impressive size, the rattlesnake remained […]
