Mojave Rattlesnake in the Garage

A Mojave Rattlesnake in a garage in San Tan Valley. The homeowners had just parked and were getting out of their car when they noticed the snake nearby. It never moved the entire time and the whole interaction was very calm and uneventful. When Austin arrived, the snake was still exactly where they had first seen it and he was able to secure it without any trouble. The neighborhood is small and surrounded by desert, so he hiked the snake back out into the surrounding habitat and released it into a packrat nest well away from homes.

Speckled Rattlesnake In Ahwatukee

I can’t believe we get paid to do this. Gorgeous Speckled Rattlesnake from yesterday in Ahwatukee. Homeowner had seen it in the morning and when it still hadn’t moved on by the afternoon, she decided to call us. Her home was right up against South Mountain and she even had a large wash running beside the house, which is likely what the snake was coming from or trying to get to. I hiked it far up the wash away from the homes and placed it into some good deep cover. Bonus dog that was very excited to receive some pets from me. – Austin
