Rattlesnake in a Tucson Backyard

This homeowner called about a rattlesnake she found lounging in her courtyard. It was her first rattlesnake sighting on the property, and she called us right away.

When Josh arrived, the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was still coiled in the same corner where she initially found it.

He secured the snake and relocated it to a wash within its estimated home range, placing it into a deep rodent burrow.
