10:00 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Dispatched a call about a baby rattlesnake in the side yard. Arrived at home and was greeted by the homeowner who escorted me to the backyard. The customer stated they initially noticed a snake on the back patio on the north end of the home and it slowly made its way to the side yard on the west. Snake eventually settled underneath a metal ramp that was on the ground. Lifted the ramp and noticed a small (< 1 year) atrox in ambush. Utilized giant tweezers to capture and secure the snake with no issue. Performed inspection for the rest of the yard and no snakes were found. *** Customer stated that they had a fencing quote from RS before but did not move forward with it. The customer would like to have fencing installed now. ***

4:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowners called stating that there was a snake in the bedroom that they contained under a small waste basket but were unsure of what kind of snake it was. They said that the snake was hissing and striking out at them so they were too afraid to lift the bucket to remove the snake on their own. When I arrived the snake was as described under a wastebasket. I slowly lifted the waste basket and was able to quickly identify that it was a Sonoran gopher snake which I easily captured and placed into a bag for relocation. The home is located in a semi-rural Cave Creek community surrounded by lots and lots of natural desert habitat and not far from a hiking area. The homeowner stated that they had once seen a snake come from the closet that contained the air heating and handling unit which goes up into the attic. It is open to the attic and there was lots of light coming in. I encourage them to either seal the closet that is in or to have someone go up into the attic and spray foam or seal any possible holes into the house and to look for other holes into the house as the homeowners were certain that they never left any doors open to the outside as they have a cat that is indoor only. The homeowners expressed interest in the snake fencing, but I was unable to go out to the backyard and check out what they were already working with. Since the snake was captured inside the home, a deeper conversation would need to be had to understand their wishes around that. Otherwise, I explained that gopher snakes are very good climbers while rattlesnakes are not. I then relocated the snake to the nearby slate trailhead. Not far up the street underneath a large boulder.

10:30 PM		 Surprise 85387 Mojave Rattlesnake Received call about a rattlesnake in a backyard. Arrived at home and greeted customer in the side yard. Customer showed me a video of the snake. Video was from a distance and grainy and I initially ID’d snake as an atrox. Customer stated the last he saw snake it was in a defensive posture crawling away from home towards block wall north of the patio. Customer stated he kept an eye around areas of the yard the snake could exit until I arrived but didn't not see any movement. Home was on a corner lot and backyard was large. A large block wall surrounded entire yard with points of entry in either side yard (one gate and another a lattice drainage block). I noticed two expansion gaps in the wall that were approximately a half - 3/4 inch wide. Two thirds of the wall was lined with dense and overgrown vegetation with accumulated leaf litter underneath. Spent the majority of my time inspecting underneath the vegetation, using my hook to rake through the leaf litter. After my third pass I asked customer if I could use their water hose to try to see if I could get anything moving. Customer agreed and I spent approximately three minutes spraying the first area until I noticed a snake moving behind some of the vegetation. I approached snake and utilized tongs to capture and bucket with no issue. Once I saw the snake I realized it was in fact a sub adult Mojave. There were no points of entry in the neighborhood that would have been easy access to this home for the snake. IE the snake would have had to travel 10 houses down and then 10 houses up to reach the front of this house. The snake was small enough that I do think it likely entered through the back wall through the expansion gaps.

8:00 AM		 Carefree 85377 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The caller reported a juvenile western diamondback coiled up on the back patio. When I arrived the snake was under a large storage bin and in a coiled position. I was able to quickly remove the snake without incident. An inspection was performed and no additional snakes were recovered. The rear side gate is the only place the snake could have made entry. As such, I advised client to mirror the protection that is on the other gate to ensure he does not have a rattlesnake in the rear yard again.

8:30 AM		 Phoenix 85083 Sonoran Gophersnake Very nice couple who moved into this house 3 years ago. They are avid gardeners and have planted a lot of plants to eat with their Indian cooking. As well as a plethora of fruit trees. They have had rattlesnakes before, although, today it was just a sonoran gophersnake. Their neighbors have used our services so they decided to today and are interested in snake fencing for the future. Mostly block wall with side gate. Some areas where the block wall has gaps in corners.

10:00 AM		 Tucson 85741 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Sonoran Gophersnake This homeowner called when he found a Sonoran Gophersnake sticking its head out of an irrigation valve box in his backyard. Unsure if it was a rattlesnake or not, he called and gave me a description of the snake to check. I told the homeowner based on the description it sounded like a Sonoran Gophersnake: and explained that they are harmless and are great to have around for pest control. As we were conversing, the homeowner was startled when he saw a large adult Western Diamondback Rattlesnake cruising through the grass- headed straight for the irrigation box. I jumped in the car and began heading that way. While I was en route, the Western Diamondback decided to hang out with the Gophersnake in the irrigation box until I arrived. Once I arrived, I carefully opened the lid of the irrigation box using my tongs and found the 2 snakes together. The homeowner said he was fine leaving the Gophersnake, but definitely wanted the rattlesnake gone. I secured the rattlesnake in the bucket, and relocated it to a nearby wash, and sent it down into a deep rodent burrow.

10:00 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake A large western diamondback was seen in a raised flower bed with lots of shade and moisture. When I arrived, the snake had moved further down behind some very dense foliage. I was able to locate a very sizable, male, Western Diamondback. I performed a property inspection and found a fairly new shedding from another smaller Atrox. The property is massive and there is an incredible abundance of prey items, shelter and water. This property will likely be no stranger to us and will most likely have calls in the future.
2026-05-09
11:00 AM		 Tucson 85742 Gila Monster This homeowner called when he found a Gila Monster relaxing in his kitchen. This homeowner was getting his kitchen redone, and believes contractors left the door open- which allowed this beautiful lizard to enter his home. He knew it couldn’t stay, and called us right away. When I arrived, I carefully secured the Gila in the bucket using my hook and tongs to support and balance his body while I placed him gently into the bucket. After giving him some water, we took a short hike into nearby habitat and found a deep den that would make for a suitable release spot. I sent the Gila down into the den to escape the heat, and live out the rest of its life in appropriate habitat within its home range.

6:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85262 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Rattlesnake in front yard. Homeowners are currently doing construction of their house and adding a pool. Beccause they are going to tear down the wall for the pool addition, they do not need snake fencing in that area yet but they do have an enclosed garbage can area with side gate, another enclosed area on the opposite side of the house and a third front entry courtyard area in the meantime. They would like a recommendation for a new, large front gate as well but I told her I do not know if we have a connection like that. Solid walls all around home so fencing would just be flood holes and gates. Wife is from Australia and petrified of rattlesnakes and coyotes. They have a boxer dog and she would not be reassured that this dog was too big for a coyote to mess with.

7:30 PM		 Mesa 85215 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner called stating their young nephew was in the back yard behind the workshop area where rocks are piled and he ran in informing him he spotted a rattlesnake, the homeowner found the snake actively crawling along the rocks, they tracked it as long as they could while waiting on my arrival. When I arrived the homeowner met me outside the garage/workshop and led me to the back door where it was first seen then guided me along the path to a gate where they last saw it suspecting it went under a large plastic chest. However the snake was not under the chest so I followed the wall behind the gated area where there were piles of brick and tile and spotted the snakes head poking out from under the tiles. I got the Rattlesnake out and contained it in the bucket for release into desert habitat away from buildings. The home is situated in a built up series of gated communities but not far from some natural desert preserve areas, there is lots of new construction near by. The snake was driven up to the desert habitat beyond the construction area and small mining operation and put into a pack rat nest.

12:00 PM		 Cave Creek 85262 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner saw the snake in her front yard eating a mouse and then it went to her back yard. She lost sight of it but I found it coiled under the AC unit. The yard didn’t have much for cover but was right next to a drainage area with some big boulders and lots of desert vegetation.

2026-05-08
7:00 PM		 Phoenix 85050 Sonoran Gophersnake We got a call from the homeowners saying that there was a snake in their garage. I arrived to find a very tidy, and uncluttered space. There was almost nowhere for a snake to hide, and I was quickly able to check the entire area. I wanted to see about the gaps in the corners of the door, so I had them close it again for me. As I was looking for small spaces where a snake could enter or exit, we spotted the snake wedged up in the sections of the door. With the door open, the snake had been suspended just above our heads the entire time. It was thankfully unharmed. I did not find any additional snakes on the property, which was close to open, native habitat as well as a golf course.

11:00 AM		 Paradise Valley 85253 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The FedEx driver saw the rattlesnake out by the road by their house. It moved into a nearby bush they had out front. That’s where I caught it just coiled underneath. The home had a big yard with a lot of well-watered vegetation. The mountain preserve was across the street.

9:00 AM		 Scottsdale 85266 Sonoran Gophersnake Her landscapers saw the snake yesterday in her side yard, near her garden. It was tangled in some netting and she decided to call today to have it removed. Poor snake had been out there awhile thankfully the weather has been cool. The snake did have some scale damage where the netting was cutting into its body. It had a few eggs in its belly that got it hung up. The homeowner had a garden and backed up to a golf course with a view fence. There were patches of desert throughout the community.

8:30 PM		 Scottsdale 85255 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Security at an apartment complex called about a small rattlesnake spotted by one of the tenants. When I arrived the young diamondback was curled up in the middle of the parking lot. There was some good habitat just across the street no less than a year ago but that land is now flattened and being developed, which likely displaced the snake and led to this encounter.

3:30 PM		 Paradise Valley 85253 Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake The homeowner called us to relocate a Speckled Rattlesnake that had already been put into a bucket by staff on site. This was a large property high up on Camelback Mountain. There were several acers covered in dense, green landscaping, including a small forest worth of mature trees. The mountain surrounding the property was made of large boulders and rock structures, perfect for the species. I found another Speckled Rattlesnake while relocating the first one not far from the home, which reinforced that I was in an appropriate location.

5:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Arrived at the property and was escorted to the backyard by the homeowner. Met husband in the backyard and he pointed out where the snake was. I observed an adult atrox in ambush atop landscaping gravel next to a plastic storage container. Used tongs to capture the snake with no issue. Snake had a mellow disposition throughout the whole encounter. The customer stated the landscaper was removing some matted oregano bushes from a terrace above the pit opposite the pool. The landscaper said he lost the snake, and the customer suspects this is the snake. The customer stated it’s the second rattlesnake he’s seen in 10 years. Inspected the rest of the property including the rest of the oregano patch and no snakes were found. Customer had a view fence atop a pony wall that I’m not certain a wdb the size of the one in the bucket could have climbed and I suspect the snake may have entered through one of the gates in either side yard. I don’t suspect the snake was in the yard for a very long time as I saw no signs of denning. Offered the customer a free fence quote and he accepted.

8:00 AM		 Tucson 85710 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake A homeowner called when they found a juvenile Western Diamondback Rattlesnake in their backyard early in the morning. Although not the way they wanted to start their Sunday morning, I arrived quickly to remove the snake. When I arrived, I observed a complex situation that many don’t get to witness- predation in real time. The rattlesnake recently struck a Desert Spiny Tail lizard, and was patiently waiting for the venom to do its job. Disrupting a hunt isn’t ideal, but having a rattlesnake in your yard is even less ideal. I secured the rattlesnake and its soon-to-be meal in the bucket, and released it to nearby habitat within its home range. I sent the rattlesnake down into a packrat nest and placed the lizard inside the entrance of the burrow, that way the snake could finish what it started.

10:00 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The caller spotted a rattlesnake coiled under a bush she was about to trim. When I arrived the snake was still sitting in ambush looking particularly regal. The snake was quickly removed without incident. During my inspection, I located multiple sheddings at different locations on the property and they appeared to be from separate individuals. I made several recommendations to the homeowners to reduce the number of attractive features of their yards.

10:30 AM		 Tucson 85750 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake This homeowner called when he discovered a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake cruising around his cactus garden in the backyard. I arrived quickly and secured this docile adult in the bucket. I was able to find nearby habitat to release the snake into that was still within its home range. Although, this rattlesnake hit the jackpot for a new home. I found a large active freshwater stream near a canyon that made for the perfect new home. I found an active rodent den alongside the stream that was teeming with vegetation and life. Having an abundant food and water source will set this animal up for success and live a long, healthy life without human conflict.

11:30 AM		 Phoenix 85083 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake A concerned citizen called with a report of a rattlesnake entering under a locked door by the public bathrooms at Deem Hills park. I was able to reach the park rangers via the police department. Once they finally arrived and unlocked the door, I was able to immediately see the snake sitting in ambush. I removed the snake without incident. No other snakes recovered.
2026-05-03
12:00 PM		 Tucson 85742 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake This homeowner called when he was spraying for ants in his front yard and encountered a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. He called us and I quickly responded to come get the snake. When I arrived, the snake was moving alongside the house. I was able to get the snake, secure it in the bucket, and release it into a deep rodent burrow in a nearby wash within its native home range.

7:00 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowners called after the neighbors saw a rattlesnake cross the road into their front yard, they saw the snake bedded down and curled up in the lantana bushes/ground cover near their front door. When I arrived they were sitting nearby keeping watch of the snake, but it had just started to move away a few feet from where they had last eyes on it, but I immediately noticed it and bucketed the snake. The home is the first corner property adjacent to a broken-up desert habitat within well-developed gated communities. They are 3x repeat removal customers and have snake fencing for the backyard.
2026-05-03
8:30 PM		 Phoenix 85020 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner called saying there was a rattlesnake curled up by his front door way. When I arrived several neighbors were huddled in the driveway. The home is situated on a cliffside adjacent to the Phoenix mountain preserve with lots of rock covering and nearby habitat. The rattlesnake was as described curled up behind a large pot near the front doorway. The homeowner expressed concern over his dog who alerted him of the snake, so I educated them on rattlesnake fencing and rattlesnake aversion training both of which they were very interested in.
2026-05-02
9:00 AM		 Scottsdale 85255 Nightsnake The caller reported a small snake on the patio that her dog was barking at for some time. When I arrived the snake was under a plastic storage bin. The snakes mouth was agape and it was visibly not well. I placed the snake in shade and gave it cool water. I advised the client to remove slate rock pile on the side of the home and roofing tiles on the opposite side as well. The snake has not recovered but was released in hopes of pulling through.
2026-05-02
11:30 AM		 Phoenix 85048 Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake The homeowner called as they were servicing their tortoise water dishes in their tortoise pen in the back yard and noticed a white-ish Rattlesnake under the bowl so they called us for assistance with it. When I arrived they informed me the snake had moved into the shade of the nearby hose caddy. I went to the backyard tortoise pen and saw a beautiful large speckled Rattlesnake curled up under the hose caddy as claimed the snake was calmly transferred into the bucket where I then was able to hike up the nearby South Mountain trail away from any homes or buildings to release it into rocky cover. The home is situated in a neighborhood right up against the ideal habitat of the South Mountain Preserve.
2026-05-02
12:30 PM		 Tucson 85704 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake This homeowner is no stranger to rattlesnakes, as she’s had several on her property in the past. She found this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake cruising along her fence in her backyard. When arrived, the snake was enjoying the shade in a prickly pair patch. I secured the snake and safely relocated it to a nearby wash and sent it down a rodent burrow- still within its native range, but far enough away to not be a problem for any other homeowners.
2026-05-02
12:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The caller reported a large rattlesnake in the rear yard. When I arrived I immediately observed a Western Diamondback rattlesnake, entirely missing its rattle, moving along some decorative cinder blocks. I was able to quickly remove the snake without incident. No other snakes were recovered during my inspection. The homeowner was strongly advised to remove the overgrown non-native grasses in the rear yard as well as any low lying bushes.

9:30 PM		 Tanque Verde 85749 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner spotted this young diamondback on their front porch. No obvious things to attract it there could be found but it likely came from a large wash right outside the neighborhood.
2026-05-01
11:00 AM		 Phoenix 85020 Sonoran Gophersnake The snake was near a walk way by the pool at this resort. They thought it was a rattlesnake but it was just a gophersnake under a bush. The desert was a few feet away from this. The resort is built on a mountain side.

6:00 PM		 El Mirage 85335 Nightsnake The homeowner called us after spotting the tail end of a Nightsnake sticking out from under the garage door. They were not sure if it was dead and they did not want to check. When I arrived, I had her open the garage door and found that the head of the snake was stuck in a glue trap just inside of the door. I used a little vegetable oil and gently removed the snake from the trap. I searched the rest of the garage and did not find any additional snakes. This home was in El Mirage and not near any sort of healthy native habitat.
2026-04-30
6:00 PM		 Phoenix 85028 Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake Speckled rattlesnake in the court yard of building 16. The snake was hiding under a bush and the residents watched the snake till I arrived to pick it up.

10:00 AM		 Paradise Valley 85253 Kingsnake, Kingsnake The homeowner had a king snake removed from her backyard a few days ago, which was stuck in some bird netting. Then today she had another one stuck. It ended up being two king snakes both tangled in the bird netting. I was able to free them both with minor scale damage but after a few sheds, they will be like new. I think the snakes may have been going to the garden for the water. She also had a shed nearby with baby bunnies under it. She was cool enough to let the snakes stay in the back yard and when we released them in the pack rat nest a rat did come out. Which is why she wanted to keep the snakes. The home was right next to a golf course.
