A big rattlesnake fencing project completed! Jill took some photos during the post-installation quality control inspection. Every install is independently reviewed after completion. If something needs adjustment, we can catch and correct it immediately. It makes sense that a bunch of snake nerds would bring peer review to construction projects. It keeps everyone on the […]

A nice-looking little Western Diamondback Rattlesnake that was hibernating under the pavers supporting an AC unit. This is a common situation, and homeowners often discover their longterm visitors on a warm spring day.

The daughter of a Casa Grande homeowner found this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake on the crawl along the side of the house in early November. Jeff went out and was able to relocate it to a better hibernation situation. Jeff said it was one of the prettiest diamondbacks he’d ever seen on a removal call.

Rattlesnake activity is an integral part of life in Arizona, especially in areas near natural desert habitats. Encounters with rattlesnakes, like the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, are not uncommon and often occur following specific weather patterns. For example, a recent observation by Dave from Rattlesnake Solutions highlighted a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake found outside its hibernation spot […]

On Halloween, this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was spotted taking cover under a giant connect-four game in the driveway. On Halloween, we offer free snake removal services, and Marissa was sent out to help the snake get to a better spot.

This little Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was hanging out in the restroom of a public park. A worker was rattled at while doing a check and called it in. The building has a small storage area with a small gap under the door, which is where the little one had likely been hibernating. The entire area […]

A Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was found at a construction site in Florence. This was found in the first week of November, indicating that this pile of pipes was likely the selected winter den. It’s not ideal, but the location the snake was likely planning on using no longer exists. This is why construction-caused displacement can […]

The first speckled rattlesnake call for 2025 – The homeowner saw this tiny snake coiledl by the garage door. He thought it may be a harmless species, not recognizing the strange pattern. But Marissa asked for a photo, just to be sure. To her surprise, it was a baby speckled! The garage door had some […]

Marissa went to investigate possible rattlesnake activity at a home in Ahwatukee, but it ended up being a shed skin from a gophersnake. Indicators here: strongly keeled (ridged) scales along the back of the body, visible black bands in the latter third into the pointed tail, and a dorsal stripe running down the center of […]

Let’s face it – we all have “that corner” in the yard. This is purgatory for unused pavers, long-deflated pool toys, extra roof tiles, and whatever else might still be useful but not quite ready. “That corner” is also where we are very often called during the cooler months and early spring to retrieve rattlesnakes […]
