This Western Diamondback Rattlesnake found an interesting spot up the stairs at the edge of a patio. It may have been using the plants which were recently removed from the deep flowerbed below, and ended up needing a new place to spend the winter. Thankfully for everyone, including the snake, Dave found it a perfect […]

Not exactly the coziest spot to spend the winter, but it may not be the snake’s fault. Without very specific relocation sites, rattlesnakes moved by the fire department are left to desperately try and find replacement conditions to survive … and often fail. Marissa helped it to a more suitable location.

One of two Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes found under a patio in Oro Valle in November. Situations like this can be a perfect spot to hibernate. Nik was careful to move them to a suitable replacement site.

A homeowner callerd about a blue snake, so Marissa was already excited about coming to get a speckled rattlesnake out of the yard. When she captured it, she found out it was sitting on top of a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. A few days prior, she was at the neighbor’s place getting a Tiger Rattlesnake. Sounds […]

The view from the patio furniture at a recently rattlesnake fenced property. Without knowing it was there, it is really hard to see at all.

Nik was talking to a homeowner after he just caught the rattlesnake they’d called him for, and noticed this out of the corner of his eye. At this point, to us, that pattern might as well glow. It got a ride with the other one to more suitable surroundings.

This Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was found in late November on a back patio next to the Phoenix Mountains. It had likely been there for a few weeks at that point. Bryce made sure it was moved to suitable winter refugia to hibernate safely.

Nick found this shed skin on a recent property inspection service. Examining the scales and their arrangement identified this as coming from a Sonoran Gophersnake. The homeowners were informed that it’s nothing to worry about – though this pipe is quite a spot for any animal, including rattlesnakes, to hang out. We have been performing […]

A recent rattlesnake fence installation. This backyard will be less stressful than it was the last year, despite the abundance of rattlesnakes in the neighborhood.
