Coachwhip Found in Phoenix

Notes from Maggie on a recent snake relocation call:

This might be the cutest coachwhip ever. 😍

This call came in from North Phoenix with some panicked homeowners who saw a snake in their backyard. They immediately hid inside and called for help. They watched through the windows and thought it had gone under the fake rock that hid the pool pump. Unfortunately, when I flipped the fake rock the coachwhip quickly evaded me and slithered into a hole in the outdoor kitchen. After some searching and mini fridge relocating, I found the snake curled up under a board and was able to snag it. I relocated the coachwhip onto a rocky crevice in the nearby preserve.
