A Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was found at a construction site in Florence. This was found in the first week of November, indicating that this pile of pipes was likely the selected winter den. It’s not ideal, but the location the snake was likely planning on using no longer exists. This is why construction-caused displacement can result in multiple years of increased rattlesnake encounters, as the situation affects animals well beyond those that are actually on-site at the time the bulldozers arrive.
