Some rattlesnake diversity for a night! Jeff was called to pick up a Tiger Rattlesnake in south Phoenix, then rushed to Florence for a Sonoran Sidewinder.
Both are specialist species that require special consideration for where they are to be released.
This stunner of a Mojave Rattlesnake was found in the backyard between flower pots at a home in Florence. The homeowner went to let the dogs out and heard a rattle (everyone’s fine). Austin returned the snake to natural desert and released it directly into a rodent burrow at the base of a creosote mound.
