Feeling lucky with our Mojave scores today.
This Mojave Rattlesnake was found by the homeowner right near the side gate just outside the backyard. The home sits next to a large natural desert wash, so activity like this isn’t too surprising.
By the time Apryl arrived, there was basically a full neighborhood gathering watching the snake. The same area had a larger Western Diamondback Rattlesnake removed just a week prior, so this spot has definitely been active.
Apryl secured the snake and removed it from the community, then released it into a desert preserve area within its estimated home range.
