9:00 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake 2 snakes were called in. The snakes did separate, so the homeowner could not watch both, but knew their general areas. I found the adult in some lantana in their side yard. There was apparently a baby with it that went into the desert area next to their home but I could not find it. Spent time educating on coexisting in the future and that we are available 24/7 to identify a snake for them via the hotline and texting a photo. They never plan to fence their property.

11:00 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Caller reported a rattlesnake crawling along the outside of their fence. They managed to spray the snake with a hose to get it to fall into the desert but it continued toward the front of the house, prompting them to call us. The snake remained there until I arrived and was removed without incident. A courtesy inspection was completed and no additional snakes were found. The snake was likely attracted by the water fish

11:30 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowners have used our services before and they called today with a report of 2 rattlesnakes. They were able to keep track of one, however, the 2nd snake was unable to be located. I found the pipe where the snakes were overwintering and sharing the space with rodents.

The snake had traveled to the far side of the home by the time I arrived. I was able to remove it without incident. The homeowners have a very low view fence. I advised them to install snake fencing. They are “on the fence” about fencing. I told them I would have the fencing team reach out so they at least have the option going forward.

2:00 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner saw the snake earlier this morning around ten coiled in her back yard. She had to go to work so she just left it. When she got home around 2pm she saw the snake slithering in her grass in the back yard. When I arrived it was coiled up right by the gate in the back yard.

The home has a large yard but most of the plants are in pots on the patio. They have a block fence with a lot of drainage holes and three gates. The home has some desert next to it but even more just down the road.
2026-04-02

2026-04-07
12:30 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Nightsnake Received a call from customer stating he had a baby rattlesnake on his front porch. Arrived at property and was shown where the snake was. Customer pointed out a debris pile on patio and said it went into there. Utilized tongs to search under the pile and noted a decent sized nightsnake to come out. Captured snake with hands and provided customer education on the species. Customer was okay with releasing it back into property. Inspected the area a bit more but no other snakes found.
2026-04-05
4:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowners called to request the relocation of a rattlesnake from the backyard. When I arrived, there were several very excited children to manage while the dad kept watch over the snake, which had moved between the house and the shed next to it. I removed the rattlesnake from the snug area and got it contained in the bucket for relocation. The home was in a well-developed gated community that had several vegetated desert washes running through it that connect to ideal desert habitat in the Cave Creek area.
2026-04-06
3:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, Sonoran Gophersnake Caller reported a rattlesnake in the rear yard behind a storage box. I was able to see the snake from above when I arrived. While pulling out the storage box an additional visitor was found, a Gophersnake. A courtesy inspection was done and no additional snakes were recovered. The snake entered under the RV gate as the rest of the yard is protected with fencing.
2026-04-07
10:00 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner saw a snake retreat behind some boxes in her garage and immediately shut the garage and called us. When I arrived I had her open the garage and the gopher snake was sitting in the corner. I was able to grab the snake and released it into a wash within its home range.
2026-04-14
4:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Kingsnake Customer watched a kingsnake enter her garage as she opened it. There was standing water on the large leaves of overgrown agave right next to the garage door as well as rodent activity, which is likely what attracted the snake to this area. I advised the client to trim the agave and eliminate the rodent problem to reduce risk of additional reptile visitors. No other snakes were recovered.
2026-04-18
9:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake I was dispatched a call for a snake under trash can. Customer sent picture of snake’s head peaking out from underneath the trash can and I confirmed it was a gophersnake. Snakes neck/throat appeared extremely pinched underneath the can and I assumed it was dead but customer still wanted us to grab it. Met customer’s in the side yard where they pointed out the snake. Snakes head appeared the same as in pictures. Once I tilted the dumpster up the snake bolted and I was able to capture it with my left hand. Snake struck my left hand but no injury. I bucketed snake and performed inspection of the rest of the yard. There were two areas in the yard when quail chicks had recently hatched and I suspect the reason why the snake was in the yard. No other snakes found.
2026-04-18
12:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Client called with a report of a juvenile Western Diamondback in the back corner of the rear yard near the entry gate. The snake had moved under a pile of pavers with a convenient rodent tunnel system underneath. I was able to draw the snake out with water, after having removed some of the pavers from the pile. No other snakes were recovered.
2026-04-22
8:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake Adult Gopher snake that had made his way into a garage during the day when the customers had the garage open. He found himself a hiding spot behind some doors that were leaning against the garage wall.
2026-04-24
12:00 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Nightsnake The homeowner saw the snake stuck to the trap inside the garage several hours before she called. She put the snake outside the garage but it was in the shade. I was able to get the snake off the trap but it was very weak and its mouth needed to be readjusted. The homeowner said she didn’t know she had those traps. She lives next to a desert drainage and a few parks.
2026-04-24
3:00 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Coachwhip The homeowner saw the coachwhip in his backyard several days ago. He called in, and I advised they move on pretty fast to just wait it out and it will eventually leave. Today he saw the snake again. It was in a tree and it dropped a bird and then it eventually ate the bird. And then it went under a bush. He wanted me to come get it this time just because it has been a few days and he still sees it. It was a big beautiful coachwhip, and it did have a bird in its belly. The homeowner had a lot of heavy vegetation and a well-watered yard. They also had a desert drainage behind them leading to more desert and a golf course not far from that.
2026-04-25
2:00 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake The caller reported a snake moving through the rear yard. I arrived and the snake was under a bush and only slowly moving both due to being observed and having recently ingested a meal. This client has rattlesnake fencing and is no stranger to Rattlesnake Solutions. He was interested in how the snake may have entered the yard. I advised the client that these Gophersnakes are adept climbers and pointed out the most likely areas in which it could have made entry. I made recommendations to trim the branches protruding through the fencing along the back view fence. I also provided a theory that the snake could have climbed the bougainvillea that hugs the perimeter wall on the side of the house. No other snakes were recovered.
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.
2026-05-03
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.
2026-05-03
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.
2026-05-03
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.
2026-05-09
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.
2026-05-10
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. ***
2026-05-10
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.
2026-05-11
7:30 AM		 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.
2026-05-25
8:30 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner was on her back patio when she heard a rattle and saw the snake coiled up on her patio by a leaky faucet. She lives on a desert mountainside and has a large yard. Her fenced back yard is elevated, and the only entry is the gate. She does feed the birds and has a bird bath.
2026-05-26
11:30 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner was putting the trash cans from the backyard out by the road when she saw a snake under one. She thought it was a rattlesnake. It was a gophersnake and she was relieved. There wasn't much desert around here but small pockets throughout the homes.
2026-06-01
12:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Sonoran Gophersnake The homeowner spotted what she believed to be a rattlesnake on the side of their home near where they keep their trash cans. When I arrived, I had to move a few miscellaneous items that had been stacked up awaiting trash day. I found a small gophersnake that quickly retreated into a gap in the blocks that made up the side wall and the gate. It only took a little bit of water from the hose to gently coax the snake back out. I got it in the bucket and searched the yard for others but found none. The home was located in a typical Cave Creek neighborhood with lots of native drainages running throughout. The back yard had a view fence that opened to one of these drainages, but the footer was several feet high. While this snake may have entered up and over it, it would be a challenge for a small to medium-sized rattlesnake. There were large gaps around the gate and a few in the block that any snake could enter or exit with ease. The homeowner asked that I remove the gopher snake for fear that her dog would harm it.
2026-06-02
10:30 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake A family housesitting at a rural Cave Creek home called after seeing a rattlesnake on the property. The snake had moved into a shady area near the back porch by the time I arrived. This yard had landscaping that very closely matched the native desert surrounding the home. It was surrounded by an adobe wall but had several iron view gates that opened up to the large wash behind the property, making a seamless integration between the two. While searching for additional snakes, I found an Atrox shed under an artificial rock covering the pool equipment, and there were several other perfect caves in and among the large rocks surrounding the pool. Although I did not find any other snakes, I explained that there would almost certainly be more, as nothing was preventing them from entering, and there was no reason for them to exit once there.
2026-06-05
7:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner had seen the black and white bands entering some vines next to his back door. When I arrived, the snake was nowhere to be seen. After pulling the vines back and using a flashlight I found him about 4’ up in the vines just hanging out. It took awhile to make the capture but I was successful. The snake was given water and released into a packrat nest that sat on the edge of a wash.
2026-06-08
9:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake A homeowner called after finding a small rattlesnake in her garage in Cave Creek. The home was on the edge of a development, but far from any open, native habitat. There were a lot of small drainages running throughout the area. It was not determined how the snake ended up in the garage, but it was small and could have entered through a gap in the weather stripping, if not through the open garage door while it was open for a short time.
2026-06-11
12:30 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake A homeowner in Cave Creek called about a small rattlesnake in their front yard. The young Western Diamondback was in front of the garage and seemed to be trying to enter the garage, which is where it may have been hiding out to avoid the heat of the day. Home is pretty far into the neighborhood so the snake was likely stuck in the neighborhood and wandering around looking for any usable cover.
2026-06-29

2026-06-26
6:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowners called after their dogs alerted them to a small rattlesnake curled up in the backyard under a tree. This is the second rattlesnake they have had relocated from their backyard this year. They previously used Arizona rattlesnake services, which referred them to us. This time when I arrived the snake was as described curled up in the backyard and was a young Western diamondback. The home is located in a vast broken-up gated community in the Cave Creek area. It has broken patches of desert habitat between the homes and Desert landscaping. The home has a mostly block wall for a fence, however, the gate to the backyard is not rattlesnake-proofed and they are interested in having the backyard. Rattlesnake proofed the snake was contained in a bucket and then released within its home range into a desert habitat far from other buildings into a large borough system going under a series of creosote bushes
2026-07-11
5:30 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner had seen this gravid female hanging around her fountain for multiple days before she decided to call. She was having someone come work on the fountain the following day and didn’t want the snake to be harmed. The fountain was in the front and the home had open desert all around. Released directly into cover via a packrat nest that sat on the edge of a wash.

7:30 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner was out back with her dogs when she heard them bark and then a rattle. Some are snake-trained and some aren’t but she was able to get everyone inside safely. The snake then moved under some nearby cover from a bench and that’s where I grabbed it. The yard is large but not a lot of hiding spots. She did say she thought she heard a rattle yesterday by the pool equipment. The home is really close to a lot of desert.
2026-07-28
10:00 AM		 Cave Creek 85331 Coachwhip A fencing customer called that they had a snake in a sticky trap and had placed it in the yard under a box in sun.

2026-09-15
9:00 PM		 Cave Creek 85331 Western Diamondback Rattlesnake The homeowner saw a rattlesnake in the corner of the garage. When I arrived. The snake was sitting in the same spot. When the garage door was shut, there were no clear openings meaning the snake probably entered while the garage door was open. There were no signs of rodent activity in the garage so it could have just been using it as a spot to stay cool before moving on. Easy grab and short trip out to a packrat nest in the adjacent desert.
2026-09-16
