A worker noticed this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake coiled up in a hole next to a box he needed to access. Marissa helped the snake get to a better spot.

Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake tucked up into the shaded corner of an Ahwatukee entryway back in August. These situations are common, though bites here are extremely rare.

Another gluetrap situation that nearly killed a non-target animal. This baby Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, and a Western Banded Gecko, were hopelessly stuck in the trap. They were rescued and released to better surroundings. If your pest control operator has these in your garage, consider other options.

This home had a lot going on! A call came in for an unknown snake … which turned into, over awhile, two Sonoran Gophersnakes and a Sonoran Desert Toad. An owl hung out and watched the whole show.
