8:30 PM		 Paradise Valley 85253 Sonoran Gophersnake Homeowner called about an unknown snake in her garage. Upon arrival I was able to locate the snake very quickly thanks to her having minimal clutter in her garage. The home did not have much useful habitat in either the front or back yard so the snake was likely waiting out the heat of the day in the garage. Snake was taken to a nearby golf course and released into deep cover in a wash that runs through the middle of the course.

I was able to remove it and check both yards and the garage to ease the customer’s mind. The snake likely came from the neighboring open desert via a nearby wash. The customer has some standing water and a pool, but otherwise a clean yard.
2025-06-12
8:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake The customer had already been visited twice by Marissa for a reported “rattlesnake.” Today, the homeowner saw another snake on his back patio, and I ran over since I was only a mile away.

I gave the snake a quick trip out to the desert and released it into a new pack rat nest.

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.

10:30 PM		 Phoenix 85042 Sonoran Gophersnake Homeowner called about a potential rattlesnake in her backyard that her dogs were barking at. Lost sight of the snake in the midst of the chaos, so I had to do a bit of searching. The yard was big and had lots of open space but also plenty of debris for snakes to hide in. My main focus was a tortoise burrow that was near where the snake was seen (they have a pet tortoise) so after checking the rest of the yard I started to flood the burrow. About 5 mins later a large Sonoran Gophersnake popped out. Confirmed with the lady that it was the snake she saw, she said it was rattling its tail and I explained to her that all snakes will do that when they feel threatened. Snake released into a deep cave in the side of a wash wall within its estimated home range. South Phoenix Homeowner called about a potential rattlesnake in her backyard that her dogs were barking at.

What should I do if I see frequent snake removal activity in my zip code?

If your area shows regular snake removal activity, consider rattlesnake proofing your property with snake fencing. Snake fencing creates a physical barrier that prevents snakes from entering your yard. Contact us for a property inspection and snake fence consultation.

How effective is snake fencing?

Snake fencing, also known as rattlesnake proofing, is highly effective when properly installed.

What types of snakes are included in the activity log?

The log primarily shows rattlesnake removal activities, including Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes, Mojave Rattlesnakes, and other rattlesnake species found in Arizona. The species is identified in each entry to help you understand what types of snakes are active in your area.
