Marissa responded to a Paradise Valley home after a FedEx driver spotted a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake near the road in front of the property. The snake moved into a nearby bush before the homeowner could get a closer look. Upon arrival, she found it coiled quietly beneath the shrub exactly where it had taken cover. The property featured a large yard with lush, well-watered vegetation that provided plenty of shelter, while a mountain preserve directly across the street offered excellent natural habitat. The snake was safely captured and released to a wash within its estimated home range.
