,A call came in for a rattlesnake out trying to climb up a block wall. This was back in early August, so Marissa suspected it was something else since it was 111˚F at the time (lethal for a rattlesnake, but coachwhips are built different). She found the snake hiding at the base of a bush – an adult coachwhip. These are heat-tolerant snakes, but there is a limit, and after failing to climb over the wall, this one opted to wait out the sun for the rest of the day.
