This Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was spotted by a dog in Mesa. The homeowner noticed the dog staring at something and backing up (good dog!) and went to check it out, and it was this well-hidden Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. The shed behind it is an ideal situation for rattlesnakes, with plenty of cover and easy access. […]

A pest control company spotted this tiny newborn Western Diamondback Rattlesnake resting under a mat in the backyard of a Scottsdale home. We got a call to help it move along, and Marissa picked a spot where it would be better off.
