Rattlesnake removal in Carefree, Arizona. The homeowner spotted this little Western Diamondback while taking out the trash.

Marissa was first called out to remove two Western Diamondbacks found mating in a backyard. A few days later, she was called back – this time for two more rattlesnakes just outside the fence. While handling the situation, she got to witness something pretty cool — two male rattlesnakes engaged in combat. Four snakes, two […]

This homeowner was in her garage when she spotted two Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes and quickly realized they were locked up mating.
