Anthem | 85086 | Sonoran Gophersnake | Initially, the homeowner thought there were 2 snakes, a gopher and rattlesnake on her patio. It turns out that it was just one gopher snake coiled up on itself. Because of the different patterning changes on his body, it was very convincing two snakes were present. The whole backyard was checked just in case but only one snake was there and the homeowner was diligently watching the snake before I got there. Homeowner is interested in rattlesnake fencing for her view fence but she is a snowbird and leaving soon so not immediately, but requested more information. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Sonoran Gophersnake | Received dispatch and called customer stating I was 30minutes away. Was greeted by husband at the side gate and he escorted me into the backyard. He stated that he saw a diamond pattern but was not able to see the tail. Customer stated that he did not hear a rattle. Informed the customer that I believed there was a good change it could be a gophersnake due to the area and where the house was situated in the neighborhood. The neighborhood was amongst a golf course and though there were washes that ran through it they were landscaped and manicured. There was no real deep desert, so to speak, that was nearby. Customer informed me where the snake was and I went into the smaller shaded side yard on the east side of the house. Against the house was a bicycle that was covered by a plastic tarp. I lifted the tarp utilizing my tongs and immediately noticed the medium sized gophersnake curled underneath the eve of the stucco wall. Used hands to capture snake and bucket with no issues. Snake was mellow and did not hiss once. Once bucketed I performed an inspection of the rest of the yard. No other snakes found. I informed the customer that I believed the snake entered though the drainage blocks of the cinder block wall on the east side of the home and was likely seeking refuge from the mid-afternoon sun. Customer stated that he had a coachwhip stuck on a glue trap some years back but has never seen a rattlesnake. I informed customer that that was not surprising and that due to where his home was situated in the neighborhood I believed that the chance of a rattlesnake encounter at this property was low but certainly not zero. Provided customer with education on differences in colubrid snakes and rattlesnakes. There were several children at the home who wished to see the snake and with the customer’s permission I took the snake out of the bucket with hook and eased it into my hands. I showed the children the gophersnake from a safe distance as they did not want to touch it. |

Queen Creek | 85142 | Sonoran Gophersnake | Arrived at customer’s home and was greeted by customer and neighbors crowded in a driveway that was not the initial address of the call. Customer stated that the snake had been slowly crawling around the neighborhood for over an hour. Customer stated he wasn’t sure what the snake was but that it was “at least 4ft long and skinny like he hasn’t eaten in a while.” Customer also said snake defecated while going through the side yard. Customer led me through side gate and I asked if I could lead and customer obliged. Went through side yard to the east of the home and did notice snake feces on the landscaping halfway down the side yard. I followed the fence line around and as I did a visual sweep I noticed a large gophersnake crawling on the opposite side of the pool along the wall. Approached snake and used hands to capture it. Snake was mellow and maybe a little lethargic but did not seem skinny like the customer stated. Bucketed the snake with no issue and performed quick inspection of the property. No other snakes found. The neighborhood was a year old and surrounded by old farmland but there wasn’t really desert habitat nearby so offering snake fencing did not seem appropriate. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Sonoran Gophersnake | This homeowner called about a large rattlesnake in their backyard. Upon arrival it was determined that it was just a large gopher snake, however, they still wanted it removed. There were a few entry points in the side gates of the backyard. The back wall had some drainage holes, but they were all covered with fine mesh. The backyard was very large, with some grass and a lot of shady bushes… multiple good hiding spots for any reptile. The snake was taken across the street and hiked into the nearby patch of desert where it was released into a large packrat nest above a small wash and away from homes. |

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. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Sonoran Gophersnake | The homeowner noticed she had about 17 quail eggs in a pot in the backyard. Over the last few days, she realized they had been disappearing. This morning, she saw a gophersnake slither away from the pot and into a nearby drain pipe in the ground. I started to flood the pipe, but the water just kept going and I wasn’t sure where the pipe ended. After about 15 minutes, the gophersnake finally showed its head, and several minutes later it fully emerged. It was a smaller gophersnake and did not have eggs in its belly, so I’m not sure who else had been snacking. I checked the rest of the yard, which was within our fencing, and didn’t see anything. |

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. |

Glendale | 85310 | Sonoran Gophersnake | Snake reported in backyard. Customer did not want to monitor the snake but understood the fee. Upon arrival, I was shown a photo of a gopher snake’s head emerging from underneath the security door threshold. The snake was no longer in that exact area, but there was a crack in the foundation next to the door large enough for it to enter. I used a hose to flush out the gopher snake. This took more than an hour, so I cleared the yard in the meantime to ensure no other snakes were present. |
