Marissa responds to a call for a large Sonoran gophersnake that had fallen deep inside a water cistern on a homeowner’s property. With no way out, the snake was trapped far below ground, making the retrieval challenging. If the homeowner hadn’t noticed it when he did, the snake likely would not have survived. Meanwhile, Bryce […]

– No gaps larger than a baby rattlesnake = no baby rattlesnakes are getting in here. – No access lower than how high the largest rattlesnakes in the area can go = no adult rattlesnakes are getting in here. Rattlesnake fencing works when installed correctly. If a rattlesnake-free summer is in your plans for 2026, […]

Rattlesnake fencing has been added to this backyard, leaving no gap large enough for even a newborn rattlesnake to get through, or height climbable by the largest rattlesnake in the state.

Here’s a real and unfortunate case showing how fragile snakes actually are, and our attempt to save one from an unfortunate […]

Notes from Maggie on a recent snake relocation call: This might be the cutest coachwhip ever. 😍 This call came in from North Phoenix with some panicked homeowners who saw a snake in their backyard. They immediately hid inside and called for help. They watched through the windows and thought it had gone under the […]

A baby rattlesnake was found in the backyard of a new build in Awhatukee. The home backs up to the mountain with a huge wash nearby, so it’s not a surprise. Marissa took the little guy to a better spot where it hopefully won’t be seeing any other people.
