Marissa responds to a call that doesn’t happen every day—two rattlesnakes mating inside a homeowner’s garage. This time of year, reproduction becomes a top priority, and snakes will travel, take risks, and end up in some unexpected places to find each other.
Later, another “two snake” call comes in—but with a twist. One is a rattlesnake, the other turns out to be a Sonoran gophersnake tucked beneath an AC unit. These spots are more than just convenient hiding places—shaded, cool, and often undermined by rodent burrows, they create the perfect microhabitat for snakes trying to escape the desert heat.
