CJ got his first Black-tailed Rattlesnake relocation in Ahwatukee with this very mellow individual. The snake had made its way to the front patio of a home just off a drainage coming down from the mountain. It settled into a comfortable spot beneath some shade cloth covering an active drip system, giving it both shade […]

This little Long-nosed Snake was found inside a second-story apartment in Phoenix, which makes its appearance inside a little more impressive. For such a small snake, it had somehow managed to make its way all the way up to the second floor before slipping into the apartment. Austin found small gaps on either side of […]

A pet sitter at this two-acre horse property in Williamson Valley spotted a Sonoran Gophersnake near a small wood pile close to the home and contacted the homeowner. While Dane was searching the area, he simultaneously heard and spotted the Sonoran Gophersnake halfway into a bush, clearly focused on something nearby. As he approached, a […]

A rattlesnake in the middle of a neighborhood can seem out of place, but there’s usually a pretty reasonable explanation. Washes, retention basins, drainage corridors, greenbelts, and other undeveloped areas can create direct connections between desert habitat and neighborhoods. The crew responds to several calls where those connections are easy to see. By looking at […]

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 […]
