A north Phoenix homeowner called in a bit of a panic. They had just stepped out to go into their garage when a loud rattling was heard just underfoot. With a quick peek at the tail before slamming the door shut, they correctly identified the sound as a rattlesnake. They kept the garage door shut until Maggie arrived to ensure it stayed put. Upon her arrival, it took a few minutes to locate the snake as it had moved across the garage and coiled up under some cords. She was able to release the snake into a packrat nest in suitable desert habitat.
