This young Western Diamondback Rattlesnake made an appearance early in the morning while Josh and Mike were working on a rattlesnake fence installation. Josh was walking through the backyard on his way back to the van for some tools when he spotted the snake cruising near a double gate where Mike was working. Fortunately, he […]

Dane just picked up this little Arizona Black Rattlesnake from a garage in Prescott Valley. The snake made its way through one of two large gaps at the bottom of the roll up door. He was careful to relocate it to ideal habitat for the species and time of year within its estimated home range.

Snake Repellent is a total scam, part 52379 The homeowner had been watching this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake come and go from the front porch for about a week.
