A Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake turned up at the front door of a home on South Mountain, leaving the homeowners wondering why this particular \u201cdiamondback looked so crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drayvin explained that they were actually looking at a completely different species. After learning a little about Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnakes, the homeowners came away with an even greater appreciation for rattlesnakes and just how beautiful they can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The snake was removed from the community but kept within its estimated home range. Drayvin hiked it back onto the mountain and released it into a large rocky outcropping above a wash. It disappeared into the rocks almost immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There would have been more release photos, but Arizona had other plans and Drayvin\u2019s phone overheated in her pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
