Large Rattlesnake Wouldn’t Leave This Garden

Garden beds and irrigated vegetation areas are one of the many places rattlesnakes can spend time during the Arizona summer. Shade, water, and thick vegetation make them a comfortable place to cool off.

In this video, Marissa responds to a rattlesnake that stayed inside a raised garden bed for several days after the homeowner gave it a chance to leave on its own. Josh also relocates a rattlesnake hiding alongside a house in a well-watered garden bed in Tucson. These are common situations, especially during the hottest months of the year.
