It’s easy to hide on the floor of a chicken coop when you look exactly like the floor of a chicken coop. Fortunately for this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, there were no chickens present, and the homeowners at this rural Cave Creek property had seen this clever trick before.
Jason safely removed the snake and relocated it to a wash within its estimated home range, placing it into a packrat nest where it could continue its ambush hunting away from the property.
