A Western Diamondback Rattlesnake taking advantage of a dripping pipe in 110˚ weather. Without ways to hide and stay cool, these temperatures can be lethal to rattlesnakes very quickly. This can make relocating them especially challenging during the summer months, but Nick was able to find a deep, dark spot for it to get out […]

The homeowner called about a snake in the garage. When I arrived, I saw a coachwhip next to the freezer. The garage was cluttered so my initial grab was unsuccessful and the snake retreated underneath the expansion joint in the concrete. When I lifted up the joint I could see a small part of the snake in the […]

Gary was called to a home after the homeowner saw shed skins in the yard. The skin intself was from not from a rattlesnake, but the subsequent search found a large packrat nest under a tree, where he then found three adult Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes. While he was capturing them, he saw he was being […]

A homeowner went out to water plants and she spotted this kingsnake slithering through the backyard. She knew it was harmless, but for many people it takes some time to get used to sharing space with any snakes. These become great educational sessions, where people can see these animals safely, and begin the process of […]

Some examples of diversity in the color, pattern, and shape of Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes within even a relatively small geographic region. All were, as always, relocated to carefully selected surroundings.

More information on Rattlesnake Fencing: […]

Yes, sometimes snakes get inside homes. Not often, but it happens. A homeowner called about a small snake INSIDE the master bedroom. We usually know exactly what that would be during June … a Desert Nightsnake. That’s exactly what Austin found when he arrived. Some cooler evenings recently allowed the back door to be open […]

A longnosed snake got stuck in a garage glue trap, and ended up getting tangled up in a second one while trying to free itself. Thankfully it had dragged itself out into the open to where it was visible, and it could be rescued. Cheyenne was careful to free the snake and release it unharmed […]

Yes! Many of the rattlesnakes we are called to capture receive a PIT tag so we can learn about what happens to them after the relocation. A Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake that was tagged and measured before it was released to carefully-selected cover. It was found at a spot that has a lot of rattlesnakes, due […]

Eric was called out to capture an unknown rattlesnake within a preserve, where we have been studying urban rattlesnake ecology for several years. The snake ended up being a Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake, which had not been previously tagged. Marissa took measurements and gave it a pit tag before it was released back to the mountain […]
