The homeowner’s son was jumping on his trampoline when he noticed a Western Diamondback coiled up nearby. He quickly alerted his parents, who were able to keep an eye on the snake until we arrived. The property had plenty of dense landscaping and sits directly next to the Agua Fria drainage, which provides excellent habitat. A packrat nest in the dry section of the riverbed offered the perfect, and likely familiar, cover for the snake to be relocated to safely.
