Notes in our records from Greyson on a rattlesnake call the other night:
“I was called out to north phoenix last night to catch this diamondback. The customers found it in their yard while clearing out some bushes shortly after 8pm. The customer attempted to move the snake himself with an improper tool which the snake did not appreciate and took shelter in this wood pile. This wood pile sat next to an overflowing bird bath attached to the irrigation system with some dense rosemary bushes surrounding it which creates an excellent hiding place with a water source. A bit of poking around in the rosemary revealed pieces of shed skin from this guy, which indicated he had been floating around the area few days (possibly the winter). He grabbed some water, shed his skin and was ready to go! Homeowners just happened to catch him on the move.The home itself was 2nd to last at the end of a street, with the cul de sac going straight into an open desert area. Wood piles should always be kept off the ground or in totes or containers to prevent wildlife like rattlesnakes and other rodents, reptiles, and insects from taking shelter.”
