Despite being incredibly easy to observe in surrounding mountain ranges, the Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnakes in the Sierra Estrella just southwest of Phoenix are harder to spot.

Trash = rodents = rattlesnakes = yikes
Our team sealed up this enclosed trash can area to have no gap larger than a quarter inch, making late night take-out-the-trash runs a less stressful event.

Just barely visible in the first photo, this Western Diamondback Rattlesnake got itself well situated in a hesperaloe by the time CJ arrived to get it. There is a lot of great habitat all around, but all private property and inaccessible.

The previous night, one of the dogs at this house came back with a swollen nose. Then, the others' neck started to swell, and off to the vet they went. We got a call to try and find the snake in the yard, and Marissa found a baby Western Diamondback Rattlesnake hiding out in some unused roof tiles.

This ambitious little sausage was found on a playground at a school. It had apparently found something big to eat ... so big it could barely move to cover from where it was found. Marissa was very careful to move it without causing it to lose its big prize.

A Mojave Rattlesnake from the grasslands of southeastern Arizona. This species in the area can be highly variable in appearance, from muted green tones to deeply contrasting browns and blacks, each can look very different from the next.

This Arizona Black Rattlesnake noticed me at the same time that I saw it as I climbed up a steep, rocky hillside. I stopped and got a few photos, and saw another one right next to it deeper in the crevice of the rocks.

A Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake resting outside its aestivation den, which it shares with several others to wait out the hottest, driest time of summer.

Western Diamondback rattlesnake found under a staircase at a Scottsdale apartment complex. It was trying to stay hidden, but drew a crowd of curious neighbors. We safely relocated it to a nearby desert wash with plenty of rodents, where it can be left alone.

A Hemphric's Coralsnake and it's mimc, the Black-headed Calico Snake. Both were found on night hikes in the Peruvian Amazon a few years ago.

Not a snake :) But this is one of the common things we see while out looking for snakes at night. Similar to snakes, however, they get a lot of stories about their "aggression" that's all a big misunderstanding.

This little Mojave Rattlesnake is the current hide and seek champion. The homeowners thought that it had disappeared, and Jason was starting to think the same after searching every place in the yard that looked like a snake could be hiding there.

A tiny Mojave Rattlesnake discovered digesting what was likely a lizard on a patio near the Prescott airport. Dane helped it get to a better spot.

A Western Diamondback Rattlesnake found hanging out next to the front door. The house is across the street from an undeveloped area and a wash, which is where it actually lives. Cheyenne helped the snake get to a safe location and released it directly into deep cover.

A Grand Canyon Rattlesnake from northern Arizona. In time, the pattern on this snake may continue to degrade and fade, but not to the same degree as is common for females of the species.

A big Western Diamondback Rattlesnake that Jeff caught in Queen Creek recently. This is at a new development with a desert-integrated neighborhood, so there will always be at least some random encounters with rattlesnakes.

Homeowner found a baby rattlesnake coiled by the front door. Cool temps in the 60s made it slow and easy to capture safely. We waited until daylight to hike it out and released it into a packrat nest in nearby desert within its estimated home range.

An Ahwatukee homeowner’s dog alerted the family to a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake in a big, shelter-rich yard—likely its winter plan. We captured it, held it overnight, then released it in daylight into nearby desert with good cover and rodent sign for winter.

A Mesa homeowner stepped into the garage and was greeted by a rattlesnake rattle. The snake tucked under an AC unit, with only its tail visible. Corner gaps under the closed garage door gave it easy access. We captured it and moved it to desert habitat with real cover.

This courtyard is now off limits to rattlesnakes :) It didn't lose any of its looks, either, with some careful detail work from Michael on the fence installation team.

A Western Diamondback Rattlesnake protests its capture, not knowing that Josh's next action was to release it into suitable replacement microhabitat that emulated the situation of its capture at a home near Tucson.

A call came in for a large rattlesnake alongside the house. The homeowner used a rake to gently coax the snake into a trash can, and gave us a call. Josh arrived shortly afterward, and transferred the snake into a bucket to be relocated.
