While the cooler, wet weather might seem like it would keep rattlesnakes from moving around, we&#8217;re still getting calls for rattlesnakes showing up around homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We respond to several of these calls during the ongoing rain, finding rattlesnakes tucked into sheltered areas around patios, doorways, and other parts of homes. We look at what these snakes are doing during the storms, how the rain affects their behavior, and what we would normally expect from rattlesnakes in Arizona this time of year as temperatures start to drop.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_l0IIvvTuC2U\"><div id=\"lyte_l0IIvvTuC2U\" data-src=\"\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/l0IIvvTuC2U\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\"><\/div><\/div><button tabindex=\"0\" class=\"play\"><\/button><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/l0IIvvTuC2U\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/l0IIvvTuC2U\/0.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video thumbnail\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:420px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arizona has been getting a lot of rain lately, with the remnants of Pacific hurricanes bringing one storm after another across the state.
