Gary was called out after a woman relaxing on her back deck suddenly heard a rattle right by her feet. When she looked down, she found this pair of Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes mating underneath a plastic crow statue. After quickly jumping up and knocking over a few things in the process, she gave us a […]

This speck was just trying to get some under scale ventilation by sitting on this grate but it stuck out like a sore thumb. I had no problem helping it back onto the preserve though. What a beaut! – Marissa

This homeowner called about a rattlesnake she found lounging in her courtyard. It was her first rattlesnake sighting on the property, and she called us right away. When Josh arrived, the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was still coiled in the same corner where she initially found it. He secured the snake and relocated it to a […]

The caller spotted this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake poking around their neighbor’s porch before it settled into the eave of the house behind an aloe.

From Jason: I arrived in the late evening to a call to a parking lot in North Phoenix. On the sidewalk next to a busy street, I found an overturned bucket weighed down with a very heavy rock and an ominous sign taped to it. I was warned that a “very good sized snake” was […]
