A homeowner called about a rattlesnake that had started showing up each morning and resting at the base of a fountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t difficult to see why the spot had become part of the snake\u2019s routine. The fountain turned on during the day, providing a reliable source of water and likely attracting small animals looking for a drink. For a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, that makes for a pretty useful place to spend some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The snake was there again when Gary arrived. He safely captured it and relocated it an appropriate distance from the home, releasing it directly into a packrat midden along the rocky side of an arroyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
