Here’s a pretty typical-looking Western Diamondback Rattlesnake on the move towards some open rodent burrows after being relocated from a North Phoenix garage. The guy I got it from had a lot of respect for the snake, and actually kept it in an aquarium in his garage to be released, despite pleas from the neighbors to kill it. I wish everyone that moved out here had that sort of attitude.
