Marissa went to investigate possible rattlesnake activity at a home in Ahwatukee, but it ended up being a shed skin from a gophersnake. Indicators here: strongly keeled (ridged) scales along the back of the body, visible black bands in the latter third into the pointed tail, and a dorsal stripe running down the center of the skin, which is formed by tightening of the smaller dorsal scales as the shed dries in gophersnakes.
