When they noticed her, they moved further into the garage, with the male actively pulling the female along. Marissa arrived and was able to safely scoop both snakes while they remained locked together. The garage was cluttered with plenty of hiding spots, along with clear signs of rodent activity, and there were noticeable gaps along the garage door when closed. With desert habitat just down the road, it made for ideal conditions for encounters like this. The snakes were relocated together and released to suitable habitat within their estimated home range while still locked up.
