As winter approaches in Arizona<\/a>, the calls we get start to change. In this episode, Marissa and I show what late-fall rattlesnake relocations actually look like. Most of the snakes we\u2019re finding now are getting ready to hibernate or are already settled in \u2014 hiding in debris piles, garages, sheds, sprinkler boxes, and patios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I talk about why winter relocations have to be done carefully, how we pick safe release sites, and why the idea that relocation \u201ckills rattlesnakes<\/a>\u201d isn\u2019t true when it\u2019s done correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while releasing one snake at night, I run into a wild rattlesnake heading toward its den \u2014 a perfect look at how they naturally move this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n
