The homeowner said she had heard the snake rattling earlier but wasn\u2019t able to see it at the time. The home backs up to a wash and the yard has plenty of ground cover and water, which can make it attractive to all kinds of desert wildlife. When Jon arrived, the snake was still being kept at a safe distance and he was able to secure it without issue. Jon then released the snake in the closest available habitat, though much of the surrounding area has become highly developed and construction is ongoing in the few remaining pieces of open land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_4712-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_4712-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_4712-666x533.jpg 666w, https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_4712-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeremoval\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_4712.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Only got a couple pictures of this beautiful Western Diamondback Rattlesnake that the homeowner\u2019s son was keeping under control from a distance using a tree support pole.
