6:30 PM		 Phoenix 85050 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Homeowner called about a small rattlesnake on their back patio, right up against their sliding glass door. Upon arrival, the small Diamondback had managed to elude the homeowner. After a bit of searching, I was able to locate the little guy curled up against the base of a large palm tree. This yard has a ton of vegetation and a pool, perfect for any snake that is trying to find some relief from the impending summer heat. Snake was returned to the patch of desert across the street where it came from, I hiked it into an area that was far from the home and released it into a small burrow under a mesquite tree next to a wash.

12:00 AM		 Phoenix 85050 Nightsnake Call was for a rattlesnake in garage, but turned out to be a night snake in a glue trap.
2025-05-23
7:00 AM		 Phoenix 85044 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The landscapers noticed the rattlesnake by some bushes next to the building. The snake was just coiled under the bush when I got there. The business backs up to south mountain preserve.
2025-05-26
1:00 PM		 Phoenix 85050 Sonoran Gophersnake A Sonoran gophersnake was found by a family with its head stuck in one glue trap and its tail stuck in another. I was able to place the snake and the glue traps directly into a bucket and take them home, where I poured olive oil on the snake, let it sit for some time, and then gently massaged the snake free without any damage. The snake was then given water and taken back to the area where it was originally found, and relocated 1.5 miles away in nearby natural desert, into a rodent burrow with surrounding desert tree cover.
2025-05-26
8:30 PM		 Phoenix 85050 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Diamondback in front yard. Arrived and found healthy yearling diamondback nestled in the center of a lantana where a bird made a nest. Captured snake and cleared yard.
2025-05-27
2:00 PM		 Phoenix 85028 Sonoran Gophersnake Homeowner called about an unknown snake under some patio furniture. Upon arrival I determined that it was a Sonoran Gophersnake. Yard was well kept and home backs up to a small wash so snake was most likely waiting out the heat of the day in the shade before moving on again. Snake was taken to better habitat in the preserve and placed into deep cover under a palo verde tree in a wash.
2025-05-29
2:00 PM		 Phoenix 85022 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner called because she said she had harmless snake in the backyard and she was concerned for her dogs. The snake went under a wooden box not far from where she first saw it and that’s where I caught it. The yard had a lot of heavy vegetation and it was very close to the desert preserve.
2025-05-30
9:00 PM		 Phoenix 85028 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake I received a call about a rattlesnake in a back yard in which RS had installed fencing under a year ago. Checked out and confirmed property was still under warranty. Arrived at property and was escorted to backyard. Customer’s had two big dogs both of which were caged when I arrived. Customer stated one of the dogs found the snake which the customers then saw the snake at the bottom of the stairs of the pool on the south side of property. When I arrived snake was crawling on the east side of the yard moving north toward a side yard. Snake was a sizable male atrox. Snake began rattling and postured until I captured it using tongs. Snake struck at tongs. Bucketed snake with no issue but snake struck towards the lid as I closed it. The snake did not stop rattling during the entire encounter and was heard still rattling as I left the release site. Did an inspection of the entire backyard and fence line. No other snakes found in yard. Fence line seemed good except for one small hole with wire running through in drainage hole on west side of yard. Customer states the person who installed that wire did cut the mesh. After inspecting the cut with wire running through I am confident that there was no way the snake I captured would have been able to fit through the hole. I’m fairly certain not even a neonate could fit through the hole as any gaps were less than 1/4”. Customer stated that there has been workers doing projects in the backyard recently but did not know if they proper gate open. I implored customer to inform the workers to watch the gate and not prop it open unattended. Customer agreed. I decided not to charge relocation fee. I’m aware that modifications void the warranty but I am certain the snake could not possible have entered through the modification. I informed the customer that someone from the fence team would contact them. Customer agreed.

Arrived and found a sub-adult Western Diamondback hiding under a boulder outside the wall. Captured with little effort. Customer stated they were alerted to its presence by their dog. Although the dog has never been snake-trained, it has a distinct bark when it detects rattlesnakes near the yard. Customer is a good candidate for fencing.

2025-06-03
9:00 PM		 Phoenix 85044 Sonoran Gophersnake The security guard at Charles Schwab spotted a gopher snake on the security camera near the rear gate. The campus backs up to South Mountain, with lots of access points. When I arrived, the snake was on the move, so I made a quick grab and hiked up South Mountain to release it into a burrow under a tree.
2025-06-05
10:00 AM		 Phoenix 85041 Sonoran Gophersnake The snake was initially seen by the front door but had slithered into the neighbor’s yard by the time I arrived. While searching her backyard, I saw it slipping out from under the AC unit. There was a nearby tree with baby doves and some quail eggs in the backyard that it may have smelled. The home has a small desert hill right beside it and some agricultural fields across the street.
2025-06-06
11:30 AM		 Phoenix 85050 Sonoran Gophersnake The customer called stating that the snake was cruising around outside the front window. I drove to the home and his daughter had eyes on the snake. It was a gopher curled up in the wall gap between the front and back yard. I was able to provoke the snake out of hiding from the back yard and Maggie grabbed it in the front yard. She placed it in bucket and we did a sweep of the yard for any other snakes. The yard had some heavy vegetation and some standing water. Not far away was a big drainage area that led straight to some open desert.
2025-06-08
12:30 AM		 Phoenix 85020 Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake Received a call from security guard at the Hilton stating they had a rattlesnake captured and the needed it taken away. Arrived at property and met security guards opposite the pool entrance. Security guards had snake in a canvas bag and stated they used tongs to capture it. The bag was sort of rigged like a pool net so guard held out the bag with a handle and I confirmed snake was a pyrrhus. I used tongs to transfer snake from bag into my bucket. Snake was very docile and inquisitive. Snake held its head upright and stared at myself and security guards. Snakes movements seemed sluggish but I saw no visible signs of injury. I asked security guards how/where they found it and they replied “over by the falls. Someone just saw it so I came and grabbed it”. When asked to elaborate the area where snake was first discovered guard just pointed to the NE. That area of the resort is the closest that faces open habitat.
2025-06-10
7:00 PM		 Phoenix 85085 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake This homeowner has already had us out once this year, as their property is open to the desert and has everything a snake would like. There are dense, low bushes, plenty of food sources, and the homeowner even leaves water dishes throughout the property for wildlife. It’s no surprise this is the fourth one this year. This guy had found a comfortable spot on the patio, where I was able to grab him and relocate him southeast of the property, back into his home range.
2025-06-11
8:00 PM		 Phoenix 85016 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Customer called stated they have a rattlesnake in driveway with eyes on it... Customer called shortly later to inform me the snakes had moved to a bush in the desert area across the street... Upon my arrival I located the rattlesnake under the bush coiled.

2025-06-16
2:00 AM		 Phoenix 85024 Nightsnake Homeowner called about a small snake in their master bedroom. He had trapped the snake under multiple shoe boxes and upon arrival I discovered it was a Nightsnake. They said they leave their back door open sometimes so its likely the snake found its way into the home through there. Snake released into a small hole at the base of a creosote mound in the desert area across the street from neighborhood
2025-06-16
9:00 AM		 Phoenix 85024 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner saw the rattlesnake coiled up on her front patio when she walked out the door. It eventually started to move and went under the manufactured home. The home also had a large deck surrounding it that was hollow underneath. We removed some siding where they had seen the snake go under, but it was nowhere to be found. There was another open hatch on the opposite side of the house, so I peeked in and saw a rattlesnake cruising toward the opening. I was able to grab the snake. The home was built on a desert hillside with a lot of rocks and had open desert just across the street. Under the home was a nice, cool spot, perfect for the snake.
2025-06-16
11:30 AM		 Phoenix 85050 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner’s dog first spotted the snake on the back patio. He brought his dog inside and called me. By the time I arrived, the snake had moved to the side yard, where I captured it. It was a very large gophersnake. The homeowner said it had been rattling its tail, which is why he thought it was a rattlesnake. The backyard didn’t have much cover besides the patio. The home backed up to a drainage that led into the desert. The yard was enclosed by a block fence with a single gate.
2025-06-17
9:00 AM		 Phoenix 85020 Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake The landscapers spotted the snake while they were cleaning up. I’m not sure what the details are on that they had put it in a trash can before I arrived. The resort is built on a mountain side so there is good habitat within the resort and all round it.
2025-06-19
2:30 PM		 Phoenix 85050 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowners’ landscapers spotted the snake coiled up by the front door, behind a decorative piece. The home had an open drainage area beside it and was located not far from a large stretch of open desert.
2025-06-20
9:00 AM		 Phoenix 85050 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner let her dog out and immediately heard barking, so she knew something was wrong. She brought the dog back inside and then saw a rattlesnake on her back patio. By the time I arrived, the snake was in the back corner of the yard, trying to find a way out. The home was surrounded by desert, and the yard offered very little shade.
2025-06-21
3:00 PM		 Phoenix 85083 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake A rattlesnake rattled at a homeowner as she was picking up a package on her doorstep. They called us and tried to watch the snake through their window, but it eluded them. After checking the perimeter of the house, we found a small hole in front that we suspected the snake could be hiding in. We decided to carefully flush it with a garden hose. The snake’s head popped out, and I was able to safely relocate it.

4:30 PM		 Phoenix 85044 Sonoran Gophersnake Homeowner called about a gopher snake in his backyard. He was not home, but some workers were in the yard and sent him a video of the snake crawling under some fake turf that he had just removed and stored on the side of the house. The backyard had a pool and well-maintained bushes, but the stacks of turf on the side yard were still wet from the rain last night, providing great cover to escape the heat of the day. I took the snake to a nearby trailhead and released it into deep cover in a rocky wash away from homes.

11:00 AM		 Phoenix 85032 Mediterranean house gecko Call came in as a glue trap snake. The picture mysteriously looked like a gecko head, but I could also see a tail with no rattle, so I took the call. When I arrived, there were three Mediterranean house geckos piled on top of one another. This was a new, young homeowner who had just bought the house and felt very bad about the geckos and what he thought was a snake. He is going to research alternative means of pest control so this doesn’t happen again, by his own determination of the situation, which was a win. The geckos were safely taken out of the glue trap with oil and released.

2025-07-09
8:30 AM		 Phoenix 85048 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner called about a rattlesnake curled up right outside her front door. When I arrived, the large western diamondback was still in the same spot, which made for an easy capture. There wasn’t much shade or cover in the front yard, so it was likely going to stay there all day until temperatures cooled enough for it to move around again. The snake was released into deep cover in a wash away from homes at a nearby trailhead in Ahwatukee.
2025-07-09
10:30 AM		 Phoenix 85083 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Homeowner called to report that a rattlesnake had disappeared into a bush in front of her home. She remained outside to ensure it did not leave that bush. The property was very difficult to locate, as the entrance to the dirt road is obscured by trees and overgrowth. Upon arrival, it was clear that the property is a rattlesnake paradise: acres of overgrown ground cover, bushes, and trees, along with a running hose that had been soaking the ground for hours at midday. I recommended clearing all ground cover to at least 6 inches high, or she will continue to see snakes. She will notify the groundskeeper. The property is also adjacent to a mountain and a nature preserve.

10:30 PM		 Phoenix 85054 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Small rattlesnake on back porch.
2025-07-13
9:30 AM		 Phoenix 85085 Sonoran Gophersnake Rattlesnake on front porch. Arrived and found the snake had moved. Customer showed me a photo of the tail of a gopher snake. Searched the park area next to the house and found a yearling gopher snake hunting in an old quail nest under a bush. Captured the snake and educated the customer that it is harmless and was just taking shelter on his patio to cool down. Customer is interested in rattlesnake fencing. He already has mesh installed that looks decent. There appear to be wall gaps and a single gate on a hard surface. Customer inquired about a discount on fencing after paying for removal; I told him I would let the fencing team make that call.
2025-07-14
8:30 AM		 Phoenix 85054 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The snake was hanging out by the doors at the ASU campus. It then moved to a shady area along the building and went under a lip in the structure. I was able to gently poke it and get it out. The campus is surrounded by desert, but they’re building a new community about 400 meters away, and I don’t think all that desert next to the campus will last much longer.
2025-07-14
6:00 PM		 Phoenix 85083 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake When the homeowner went to pick up an Amazon package by the front door, he was rattled at by a snake.

2025-07-16
12:00 PM		 Phoenix 85050 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner went to check on her tomato plants in the backyard when she was startled by a rattlesnake caught in the netting she had used to cover the plants. Fortunately, it was a very nice day, so the heat didn’t harm the snake. It was tangled in one spot, but it hadn’t been cut by the netting and was perfectly fine. The snake was a gravid female. The homeowner hadn’t seen a rattlesnake in 20 years, even though she lives fairly close to the desert. Her yard had only one good source of shade: a lantana bush.
2025-07-16
4:00 PM		 Phoenix 85085 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Smaller atrox picked up from a residence at the bottom of a wash leading into the neighborhood from the Sonoran Preserve. The snake was released off the Desert Vista trailhead, a few washes over from the parking lot, into a wash with foothill palo verde, rock cover, and a nearby small packrat midden.
