He quickly realized the worker had likely spotted a snake and called Rattlesnake Solutions before getting any closer to investigate. When I arrived, the manager was standing a good distance away and pointed me toward the narrow crack where the snake had been seen. The rattlesnake hadn\u2019t moved since the original sighting and was still tucked into the gap. With some gentle coaxing, I was able to guide it out of the crack and safely secure it. Afterward, I walked the perimeter of the work site since they mentioned they were about to move several large items and structures that hadn\u2019t been touched in a long time. While no additional snakes were found during the inspection, I let them know we\u2019re always happy to help if they come across more during the construction process. The rattlesnake was relocated to a safely distanced drainage area with a deep network of holes at the base of Palo Verde and Creosote, where it quickly disappeared into its new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"8437\" src=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1000028552-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1000028552-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1000028552-426x533.jpg 426w, https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1000028552-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1000028552.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" data-id=\"8436\" src=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1000028541-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1000028541-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1000028541-666x533.jpg 666w, https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1000028541-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1000028541.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A job site manager noticed one of his workers suddenly jump up and run after looking down into a crack between the sidewalk and the concrete base of a light pole.
