Phoenix | 85048 | Nightsnake | The homeowner called after spotting a Desert Nightsnake inside her home near the front door. She watched it crawl into a coat closet where her three cats kept watch until I arrived. The closet was full of items that had accumulated over the years, all of which had to be removed. I finally found the snake after removing the very last item from the closet. The homeowner thinks that it might have come in with an Amazon package that had been delivered earlier in the day. It is also possible that it found a way in through a very small gap in the front door. This was the second time that we have been called out to this Ahwatukee home to remove a Desert Nightsnake. No other snakes were found. |

Phoenix | 85042 | Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake | Maintenance worker at a South Phoenix apartment complex called about a speckled rattlesnake that was outside of a tenant’s door. The complex backs right up to South Mountain Preserve, so the snake clearly wandered into the complex from the surrounding hills and was probably unable to find its way back. The tenant said he had seen it multiple times throughout the day and finally decided to call in the evening when the snake didn’t seem to be moving along. South Phoenix |

Scottsdale | 85266 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowners called after finding a rattlesnake curled up in a shady corner near their front door. This home in Scottsdale was surrounded by open, native desert and had a wash filled with large boulders running adjacent to the property. There was no safeguard preventing any snake from entering or exiting the front yard. The backyard was fenced off by the homeowner. No other snakes were found. |

Tucson | 85745 | Kingsnake | This homeowner called when she discovered a Kingsnake in the garden in her backyard. She has no problem with Kingsnakes, but her backyard has very few exit and entry points, as it’s closed off by a large stucco wall with no gaps or exposed drains. She was concerned the Kingsnake would be trapped in her backyard if she didn’t call for help. I was on the road in minutes, and when I arrived, the snake was still in the same area- cruising alongside the wall. After receiving a fragrant bath in Kingsnake musk, I put the snake in the bucket and found a suitable release site. A deep rodent burrow underneath a dead Saguaro with some shade made for an optimal release spot. |

Phoenix | 85044 | Sonoran Gophersnake | Gophersnake in a large bush/tree in the front yard. It is their first snake in 6 years. Over the phone, I said it was likely nonvenomous and offered that they send me a photo, but they said they wanted it removed no matter what. |

Phoenix | 85048 | Sonoran Gophersnake | The homeowner heard his dog barking in the back yard, so he went and looked and saw the large snake. Not knowing what kind it was, he got the dog inside and watched the snake go behind a nearby paver that was leaned on the fence. It ended up being a gophersnake. They have lived in this home for 30 years without seeing a snake. The home had a grassy yard with very little vegetation. There was an elementary school across the street and a big drainage the lead to a desert hillside on the other side of the home. |

Tucson | 85641 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | This homeowner called us after discovering a juvenile Western Diamondback Rattlesnake in her front yard. She’s no stranger to rattlesnakes, as I’ve removed several from this property before. When I arrived, the homeowner had already secured the snake in a tote bin. I removed the lid, grabbed the snake, and secured it in the bucket. The snake was released into a large rodent burrow in a nearby habitat that’s still within its native range. |

Scottsdale | 85259 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner called after seeing a rattlesnake on the side of their home near the pool pump. This was a brand new fence client, however, the snake was not inside the fenced area. The side yard was an enclosed area between the house and a 5-foot-tall retaining wall. Access to the back yard from this area was through a newly snake-proofed gate, and a drain hole in the block wall to get to the front yard. This is also where the pool pump and equipment was located. When I first saw the snake, it was unsuccessfully trying to find a way into the backyard through the snake fencing. When it saw me, it retreated under the large, hollow base of the pool filter. It took almost an hour of constant running water to finally flush the snake out. The snake could have entered the area at any time from above the retaining wall, which was at ground level at the top, or through the drain in the block wall. There is also a chance the snake was hiding under the base of the pool filter the entire time. Based on the amount of time and water it took to remove, it would have been nearly impossible to know that a snake was hiding inside without actually witnessing it enter. No other snakes were found. |

Queen Creek | 85140 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | Rattlesnake in backyard. It was originally on the front porch, but made its way into the back. Easy capture. The rattlesnake was likely trapped in the backyard not knowing how to get back out because the gate in the drain were the only openings. |

Queen Creek | 85142 | Kingsnake | A homeowner in Queen Creek called about a Kingsnake spotted in his front yard. By the time I arrived, the snake had wedged itself under the neighbor’s basketball hoop. This home backs up to a large, open field with many debris piles (trash and brush trimmings), providing the perfect habitat for a Kingsnake. |

Phoenix | 85041 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | During the call with this nice and seemingly calm customer, he had stated to me that upon bringing groceries into the house he had spotted a large, confirmed rattlesnake that was coiled up in a corner near his house in the front courtyard, after his first gate. Once arrived, I quickly captured this gentle giant without a fight or single rattle and proceeded to inspect the rest of the property. I noticed there was a small gap under the fence where this healthy rattlesnake most likely gained entry from the desert wash in his side-front yard to his courtyard. The customer also mentioned this was not their first rattlesnake and they often see wildlife which often come from the wash next to their property and the preserve behind them. Overall, the rest of the property was very well maintained with little sheltered spaces for the diamondback to hide or spots for entry besides the fence gaps. Furthermore, no other wildlife was found upon inspection and after being given some water, I hiked this male western back into the preserve, where it could live out the rest of its life peacefully away from residence. |

Phoenix | 85022 | Sonoran Gophersnake | Caller reported a rattlesnake (identified by a family member) coiled by the front door. Upon arrival, I quickly identified the snake as a Sonoran Gophersnake. The snake was taking advantage of the shade and standing water in the potted plant overflow basin. The snake was removed without incident and no other snakes were recovered. The snake is missing a small portion of its tail and it has scarred over. |

Peoria | 85383 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | A contractor at a new home build discovered a small rattlesnake on the side of the home in the shade under an AC drain line. The home was being built at a new golf course community not far from open, native desert. As always, I took a look around the rest of the property. The backyard was virtually empty. There was a pool, but no mature landscaping yet. There was a view fence with a very low footer separating the yard from the golf course. I did not find any other snakes, but I did leave our snake id/fence information behind for the homeowner when they move in. |

Scottsdale | 85266 | Mojave Rattlesnake | After receiving a call, the customer had stated she had originally spotted and confirmed a rattlesnake in her backyard when she went to let her dog out. However, she was comfortable enough to watch it until my arrival, and upon my arrival, it had moved under her gate into her front yard, where I was then able to capture it near some dead foliage. After the capture, I then made sure to inspect the rest of her property, but found nothing else. The customer had also stated this was not their first rattlesnake call and had used our company in the past as well. Her property was very close to a desert preserve, with multiple entry points into her backyard for the rattlesnake, and a huge shaded area on her side property that she shares with the neighbor, full of shrubs and foliage for shade, which is most likely the reason for its presence on the property. Upon capture of this young Mojave, I then returned it back to the desert preserve and hiked it away from all the residential areas to live out the rest of its life. |

Cave Creek | 85331 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowners called us after seeing a rattlesnake in their chicken coop. This home was in a rural area just outside of Cave Creek and surrounded by native desert. The snake was found resting in a shady area inside of the coop. There were no chickens present at the time. The property was large, with a lot of places to hide including sheds, other structures, animal enclosures, and various gardens and landscaping. I searched as much as possible and was surprised to not find any additional snakes. |

Scottsdale | 85255 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner called after seeing a rattlesnake on the side of his home headed towards the back yard. I arrived and took a quick look around the back yard, which was small, clean and completely empty. There was almost no landscaping and very few structures to hide under. Around the opposite side of the home from where the snake was last seen, there was a small stack roof tiles left over from a recent project. The snake was found hiding under one of these tiles, which was the only shade available in the immediate area. The property was in the middle of a development, but situated in between two natural drainages, both of which led out to more native habitat. |

Phoenix | 85085 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowner contacted us after discovering a small rattlesnake at the bottom of a deep basement window well. There were recently hatched quail eggs at the top of the window well, and a dead baby quail at the bottom near the snake. The home sat on the boundary of lots of native desert on State Trust land. The yard had a lot of irrigated landscaping, piles of firewood, and lots of other places to hide. Surprisingly, no snake has ever been discovered on the property. I searched the property and did not find anything else. |

Mesa | 85207 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | The homeowners called after going to take their trash out to the road and they heard the buzzing of a small rattlesnake. They spotted the snake and called our hotline to which I came out and the snake was as described behind the garbage cans. The snake was extremely small still for this time of year, but I noticed that it had some old injuries that looked as though they had healed at this point. Perhaps stunting its growth a bit. I contained the snake and brought it to the next nearby desert habitat and released it appropriately into deep cover with lots of nearby resources. The home it was relocated from is in a gated community that sits against the mountainside of a small local Mountain with lots of natural habitat. The home has partially block fencing and partially view fencing, but we discussed the potential of rattlesnake-proofing their backyard. They also have dogs. They are interested in getting rattlesnake aversion training or at least doing the fencing to protect them in the backyard. |

Tucson | 85742 | Western Diamondback Rattlesnake | This homeowner is no stranger to rattlesnakes, as she’s called us in the past to remove rattlesnakes at her old property. She called after her husband found a Western Diamondback sitting in ambush against the retaining wall in the backyard. This rattlesnake alerted the husband with its rattle before he even knew it was there. When I arrived, I secured the snake in the bucket and found a suitable nearby habitat to release the snake into. A deep rodent burrow underneath a dead Saguaro in a nearby wash ended up being the perfect spot, as I found another Western Diamondback sitting in ambush not too far away. |
