Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake seeking shade during the heat of the day back in August. The overhangs that cover most patios in the area are perfect for this activity, and don’t go unnoticed by the local wildlife. Bryce relocated the snake carefully to a suitable replacement spot that offered similar relief.

From Bryce: “A family that moved from out of state a few years ago noticed a couple snakes hanging out by their potting plants on the patio, so they called for us to come and investigate. I found a mother western diamondback coiled at the base of the potting plants alongside 7 babies, all tucked […]

In August, this Arizona Black Rattlesnake is the second found at this home near Prescott. Dane was just getting back into town and at the Phoenix airport, and the snake sat without moving in this position until he arrived there two hours later. Relocated to perfect conditions for this species in the time of year.

These structures might not look like much, but are well-insulated with higher ambient moisture than the surrounding area. This was discussed with the homeowner as part of a property inspection service. For more information on our Property Inspection service: […]

Earlier in the day, a realtor was showing a home and they saw a snake inside. It darted under a couch … and that was that for that sale :/ Marissa was called out to look for it a few hours later, and she found it in the living room trying to find a way […]

This hatchling Coachwhip almost didn’t make it. It was stuck in a trap, doomed to a slow death amongst the skeletons of less lucky reptiles. Marissa was able to get it free, as well as a young gecko, to be released relatively unharmed.
