Marissa responds to a call where a homeowner filled a pipe along the side of the home — the same pipe two rattlesnakes had been using as shelter. With their hiding spot suddenly gone and temperatures high, the snakes wedged themselves under the edge of the house trying to stay cool. Meanwhile in Tucson, Nik is called out for a “rattlesnake” that turns out to be a Sonoran gophersnake. A great example of how defensive behavior and appearance can easily fool people.
