After capturing a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Dave found this Sonoran Lyresnake trying to climb the garage door. The homeowner learned about these cool little snakes and allowed it to stay. The rattlesnake, however, was moved to a suitable spot. – from the summer.

A lucky little Longnosed Snake found refuge, surviving the blading the day before. This was back in December, so most of the animals in the area didn’t stand a chance. Thankfully, at least this one gets to try again, elsewhere. Development can force snakes to move to other areas, sometimes in conflict with humans. Simple […]

A little diamondback with a big big belly! This little one found what it was looking for under a bird feeder in a Cave Creek backyard. It was moved to a better spot to digest its prize. Also a reminder: attracting wildlife means ALL wildlife. A birdy buffet won’t be ignored.

A dog came inside in the morning with a swollen face, and was obviously unwell. The homeowners rushed the dog to the vet, where it was confirmed that it had been bitten by a rattlesnake. They called to see if it’s possible the snake was still on the property. Marissa found it here, just barely […]

A baby Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was seen in the backyard by the homeowner, and it made its way to the front before Bryce arrived to capture it. At this size, they don’t need much space to slip into a yard. Thankfully this one was seen and got a ride to a better spot to hang […]

The shine fades with time, becoming more of a translucent haze over that section of fence in the future. What this home won’t be seeing, […]

From CJ: “First call of 2025 for me. Classic back patio western diamondback in North Scottsdale. Snake entered through a hole from a shoddy fence install on the side gate. A tale as old as time. Released in packrat den nestled against a Lycium that was far enough away but within the same drainage system as […]

A little Sonoran Gophersnake that was hiding out in a bathroom. The homeowner had the door open while bringing in the groceries, and that was likely all it took for this little one to find its way in. – Mesa, Arizona
