The family dog alerted its owners to this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake slinking across their shaded back patio in Sun City. By the time Jason arrived, she had tucked herself into a sheltered spot between the home and some patio furniture. The home is located near a golf course and has plenty of beautiful landscaping, providing […]

I love me some LNDIAB (late night Diamondback in a bush action) Homeowner in Laveen called about this little dude in his front yard. Hardly any desert habitat left in the surrounding area as most of the land is either farm fields or has been developed into homes. Luckily there was a nearby trailhead that […]

This gorgeous Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake was discovered by a Phoenix homeowner while she was watering her plants. With the property only about 30 yards from the Phoenix Mountains Preserve, the snake hadn’t traveled far from some excellent desert habitat. Jon safely removed the Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake and found it some new accommodations within its estimated […]

Late at night, this big Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was found hanging around a San Tan Valley property that didn’t offer much in the way of natural cover. There were, however, food and water sources available on the property, which may help explain why the rattlesnake was spending time there. CJ safely removed the unusually calm […]

These homeowners had just returned from a few weeks away on vacation and let their dogs into the backyard for the first time since coming home. Thankfully, they spotted this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake before any of the dogs did. The property already had rattlesnake fencing installed by another company, but a recently replaced gate now […]

The homeowner happened to look out one of her basement windows and noticed a Black-tailed Rattlesnake coiled on the outside windowsill. The window sat at the bottom of a deep drop-down area with no obvious way for a snake to climb back out. She then spotted a second snake moving in and out of a […]

This large Western Diamondback was discovered in the backyard of a Phoenix home by the two family dogs.  When I arrived, it had taken shelter in between a set of old pallets.  The snake was extremely stressed likely from its encounter with the dogs, and seemed relieved to be released into a quiet packrat nest […]

The homeowner first noticed this Sonoran Gophersnake on her front patio a few days earlier while she was watering some plants. When she realized it really hadn’t moved from the area for several days, she became concerned that something might be wrong with it and called us to have it checked out. Marissa arrived and […]

The homeowner had been seeing this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake in her garden for several days and noticed that it really hadn’t moved much at all. She gave it about five days to leave on its own before deciding it was time to have it relocated. When Marissa arrived, it was pretty easy to see why […]

It’s baby rattlesnake season in Arizona. With the summer rains and more suitable conditions, female rattlesnakes are finding cool, shaded places to have their babies. Mothers will often remain with their young until the babies have their first shed, after which they begin to disperse. Once that happens, the babies can head in just about […]
