Another beautiful day for sunbathing. This Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was enjoying the warmth at a home in Cave Creek, an area where many houses sit right alongside excellent desert habitat. The homeowners had only recently moved in, and this was their first snake visitor. The snake was lounging nearby when the homeowner came up from […]

The homeowner came across this small Western Diamondback Rattlesnake while moving their garbage cans. The snake was curled up underneath the small shelf near the wheels. The yard had access points underneath the gate and through a drain block on the opposite side. The snake had already been secured with a bucket that had been […]

Springtime is when most rattlesnakes have one thing on their minds—reproducing. Lately, many of our calls have involved snakes that are courting, breeding, or males engaged in combat. In this video, Marissa responds to a call where this behavior was unfolding right on a homeowner’s front patio. Afterwards, a Sonoran Gophersnake was found in a […]

This beautiful Sonoran Gophersnake decided to take a siesta under an outdoor grill and was fast asleep until Jon gently interrupted. With several pockets of desert scattered throughout the neighborhood, there are plenty of places for snakes to move through and settle in. Jon safely relocated it to a good spot and released it into […]

A Mojave Rattlesnake in a garage in San Tan Valley. The homeowners had just parked and were getting out of their car when they noticed the snake nearby. It never moved the entire time and the whole interaction was very calm and uneventful. When Austin arrived, the snake was still exactly where they had first […]

A Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was found hanging out in a garage in Laveen as the homeowner was preparing to have junk hauled off the next day.

Only got a couple pictures of this beautiful Western Diamondback Rattlesnake that the homeowner’s son was keeping under control from a distance using a tree support pole. He mentioned he had some experience removing snakes while working on a golf course, but didn’t have the proper tools for something like this. The homeowner said she […]

A Mojave Rattlesnake was found at a construction site where we’ve been hired to monitor and provide recurring inspection services. Jeff captured it safely and relocated it to suitable habitat. As always, it was released directly into deep cover.

The homeowner went to grab this package when she noticed something didn’t look quite right. Not sure how she managed to spot the snake sitting there next to it, but she did. Instead of getting any closer, she quickly shut the door and called us to come take a look. When we arrived the snake […]

What a great day for a stroll in the cool grass! A 2nd rattlesnake visitor, in about as many days, to a local community center that sits across the street from a mountain range. It was a displeasure to ruin his sunbathing in the grass but he needed a better place to hang. – Jon
