Rattlesnake on the Patio in Phoenix

Rattlesnake on the Patio in Phoenix


The homeowner was on her back patio picking up a cover for her patio furniture when she noticed a snake underneath. She quickly dropped the cover and went inside, unsure what kind of snake it was. When we arrived, the snake was still right next to the cover and turned out to be a baby Western Diamondback rattlesnake. The yard itself was very clean with few places for a snake to hide, but there is a large area of desert habitat directly across the street, which likely explains how it ended up passing through the property.
