The owner of a home in a rural area of Surprise called after finding a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake curled up in ambush beside a watering dish frequently visited by quail and rabbits. Six days later, she called us again. This time, a Sidewinder was sitting in the exact same spot, presumably there for the exact […]

A homeowner in Ahwatukee was heading out to walk her dog when she stepped through the front door and noticed this Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake coiled quietly in the corner. The home sits right next to a large drainage ditch that extends up the rocky mountainside of South Mountain, providing a natural travel corridor for wildlife […]

Austin was able to free this Sonoran Gophersnake from glue traps. The snake was going in to eat the rodent that was captured first … a clue to why these traps are not the answer here.

Dane picked up this Black-tailed Rattlesnake from a property in the Prescott area, making it the second one we’ve relocated from this location in the past two years. The snake was found tucked beneath a bench at the far end of the property, where it appeared to be digesting a small meal. A quiet, sheltered […]

A Williamson Valley homeowner walked outside and caught this Arizona Black Rattlesnake in the middle of consuming a lizard, then gave us a call. Dane had about a 20-minute drive to the property, giving the snake plenty of time to finish its meal and move along. By the time he arrived, it had relocated to […]

The owner of a Scottsdale home had seen this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake several times over the past few days hanging around her entryway. She finally called us when she was convinced it had crawled through a small hole and into the exterior wall of the home. Jason used his phone to investigate the hole and […]

The family dog alerted its owners to this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake slinking across their shaded back patio in Sun City. By the time Jason arrived, she had tucked herself into a sheltered spot between the home and some patio furniture. The home is located near a golf course and has plenty of beautiful landscaping, providing […]

I love me some LNDIAB (late night Diamondback in a bush action) Homeowner in Laveen called about this little dude in his front yard. Hardly any desert habitat left in the surrounding area as most of the land is either farm fields or has been developed into homes. Luckily there was a nearby trailhead that […]

This gorgeous Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake was discovered by a Phoenix homeowner while she was watering her plants. With the property only about 30 yards from the Phoenix Mountains Preserve, the snake hadn’t traveled far from some excellent desert habitat. Jon safely removed the Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake and found it some new accommodations within its estimated […]

Late at night, this big Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was found hanging around a San Tan Valley property that didn’t offer much in the way of natural cover. There were, however, food and water sources available on the property, which may help explain why the rattlesnake was spending time there. CJ safely removed the unusually calm […]
