Jeff heard there was a rattlesnake spotted at the park near his home and went to see if he could find it. He did - a young Western Diamondback Rattlesnake coiled right against the wall. The snake got a free ride to elsewhere within its estimated home range.

Widespread development in this area has displaced wildlife, which will drive encounters and dangerous situations for years. This Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was already trying to find what it could, and was thankfully found before someone killed it.

This beat up Sonoran Gophersnake was called in as a rattlesnake. Normally, it's easy enough to tell the tail of a rattlesnake from these harmless species, as gophersnakes have a pointed tail. But this one had an accident some time in its past, leaving it with a rounded stump.

A pair of courting Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes in the north valley. Jeff was careful to capture and release them together directly to a deep packrat nest, where they can hopefully continue making little rattlesnakes for next season.

A Sonoran Desert Tortoise resting in the shade in on a hot morning in the Big Horn Mountains of western Arizona. These tortoises become nocturnal during the hottest parts of summer, moving and eating after dark and returning to their deep caves by the time the sun hits the area again.

The pool guy was working when he heard a rattle from an unseen snake. It disappeared quickly, but Marissa was able to find it in a rodent burrow near the pump, and get it back out to the desert.

A Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake hiding from the sun near the entrance of a shallow cave in south Phoenix. During the springtime, this species can be found even relatively far from its rocky habitat, hunting birds and lizards at the base of creosote.

This gate has been modified with steel and concrete to prevent rattlesnakes from getting into the area. This one has an interesting design that required some custom design, and it turned out great.

A homeowner in Tonopah called about a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake hiding out in the yard. The home was surrounded by open desert with no fence, so a property with access under it is a very useful feature to small animals.

A Western Diamondback Rattlesnake coiled up behind a pot by the front door. These situations are easy hiding spots that snakes can use to get out of the sun for the day. Cheyenne helped this one get to better surroundings.

A homeowner in Casa Grande called about this Mojave Rattlesnake that was hanging out by the backdoor. The property was large and open, and the snake found a nice spot in the shade of the patio for the day. Austin got it out to suitable habitat and released it directly into cover, as always.

A Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake found this spot to hunt near the doorstep of a home in Ahwatukee. CJ went out to help it find a better spot. These snakes are specialists that can't just be released anywhere (true for any snake, really), and he took the time to find deep cover in a steep canyon

Another recent rattlesnake fence installation. It's cooling down, and rattlesnakes are becoming less active, but many homeowners take advantage of the time to ensure that the whole "rattlesnake on the patio" thing isn't a repeat next year.

A Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was spotted coiled up in a raised garden. The drip system and mesh created a pretty nice spot to hide out, stay safe, hydrated, and maybe grab rodent or two. A garden like this at the edge of open desert is an oasis that will always have visitors.

This small rattlesnake was spotted by a homeowner who was doing some landscaping. It was initially seen, however, in the side yard as it slid past him and disappeared. Marissa arrived and eventually found it coiled at the base of this palm.

The homeowner was watering some plants when she spotted the Mojave Rattlesnake coiled under a plant by a drip system. There was only a small patch of suitable habitat left, around a half mile away, that was actively being bulldozed when Marissa went to pick up this snake.

A Mojave Rattlesnake from the Phoenix area. These snakes are common in the flatter, creosote and grassland areas of the state.

A large Gila Monster on patrol in the springtime. Quail have just started laying eggs, and it's time to find them. These venomous lizards are nest raiders, taking in eggs and baby mammals when they can find them.

This neonate Western Diamondback Rattlesnake was found coiled up in a Buckeye backyard. The little one doesn't quite know where to go yet, and they often don't make it through their first season. Marissa helped it find a better spot to hopefully see its first spring in a few months.
