A homeowner woke up to her living room being messed up by her cat. She saw why: her cat was trying to catch a little snake that was in the house. Thankfully, the snake was just a harmless Desert Nightsnake, and was unharmed. All of the doors were well sealed, but she does leave the […]

This Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was a bit hard to see, aligned perfectly with the edge of the garage door. As the daily temperatures continue to cool, rattlesnakes will increasingly look to garages as easy spots to hibernate.

Landscapers were trimming bushes when they said a snake struck at them from under a bike that had a tarp on it. It was a huge Western Diamondback Rattlesnake! It took Marissa a few tries to get it into the bucket safely. The home is right across the street from a mountain preserve with a […]

This neonate Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was found coiled up in a Buckeye backyard. The little one doesn’t quite know where to go yet, and they often don’t make it through their first season. Marissa helped it find a better spot to hopefully see its first spring in a few months.

A Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake was located by maintenance workers under a set of pool stairs. It stayed there until Cory arrived to help it get back to South Mountain.

These properties can be tricky, too, since they can act as a fall trap for animals, often leading to more snake encounters than level properties. But, […]

This was a fun one. Cheyenne responded to a call for a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake in a garage. The homeowners had been noticing things knocked over in there recently, so this is not the culprit they’d expected. They were surprised such a large snake hadn’t rattled at them … but that mystery was also solved. […]

As winter approaches in Arizona, the calls we get start to change. In this episode, Marissa and I show what late-fall rattlesnake relocations actually look like. Most of the snakes we’re finding now are getting ready to hibernate or are already settled in — hiding in debris piles, garages, sheds, sprinkler boxes, and patios. I […]
