The Tucson relocation hotline will be busy soon – this is the first call for Gary, our newest rattlesnake relocator in the area. This Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was sitting out at 55˚F, catching some rain to drink on hydrophobic scales. The home was built over a rock outcrop with access under the dek, meaning this snake had been hibernating there for months at this point. Gary was careful to find a suitable packrat nest within its estimated home range that can serve as a replacement den.
