A collection of recent photographs of Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes, as they were found on properties when Dave arrived to relocate them. These kinds of photos aren’t meant to show you a close up of the snake … there is more than enough of that out there. Instead, these help people understand the kinds of places […]

Marissa responded to a Paradise Valley home after a FedEx driver spotted a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake near the road in front of the property. The snake moved into a nearby bush before the homeowner could get a closer look. Upon arrival, she found it coiled quietly beneath the shrub exactly where it had taken cover. […]

Marissa responded to a Scottsdale home after the homeowner’s landscapers spotted a Sonoran Gophersnake tangled in garden netting near the garden. The snake had been seen the day before and was still stuck when the homeowner called for help. Fortunately, the cooler weather likely helped it avoid more serious injury. The netting had caused some […]

This young Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was found at an apartment complex near Loop 101 and Hayden in Scottsdale. Unfortunately, much of the surrounding desert habitat has recently been bulldozed for new construction, which likely displaced this snake along with many other native animals in the area. Austin was able to safely relocate the rattlesnake to […]

The owner of a Paradise Valley home carefully placed this Speckled Rattlesnake into a bucket before contacting us to help relocate it back into suitable habitat.

This homeowner contacted us after discovering a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake cruising through his backyard cactus garden.

A homeowner contacted us early on a Sunday morning after discovering a juvenile Western Diamondback Rattlesnake in the backyard. While it definitely was not the way they hoped to start the day, Josh arrived quickly to safely remove the snake.

This very mellow female Western Diamondback Rattlesnake never rattled a single time during the entire relocation, only finally sounding off as she disappeared into her new home. Earlier in the week, the homeowner’s landscaper had torn out some heavily irrigated oregano in the backyard and spotted a snake but lost track of it. A few […]
