This late-night Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was found at an RV park in Mesa, where finding appropriate habitat for a release presented a challenge.

A homeowner in Cave Creek walked into his garage one evening and was immediately greeted by the unmistakable sound of a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake rattling at him.
