A neighbor called me to let me know they had a rattler at their place. It was under some outside furniture. The gardeners were all ready to kill it, but the owner there said no, thankfully. Very docile, didn’t even rattle. I found a great place for this beautiful snake down by a creek near by in a very rocky hill area away from homes. Second snake this season (4-26-22)
My neighbor called me to come look at this 3ft red diamondback rattler he found on his property. I asked him if he wanted me to remove it and he said no just let it go. So we watched it climb up the stairs into some rocks. Personally I’d rather take it off of the property cause it is awfully close to my property. It’s okay, there’s a good chance I’ll find it, or someone else will and THEN I’ll take it further on down the road. LOL
Close up of the head, scales & patterns on this amazing looking rattler. This is a older photo of this rattler being rehomed to a safer place.

(8-5-21) I love relocating rattlesnakes for my neighbors, to save the snakes. This snake was 15 ft from MY ft door, and yes it did scare the crap out of me. I was walking with my dogs up to my front door and the dogs unknowingly got to close to this visitor which had started to rattle soooooo very loud. Thankfully both dogs have been to rattlesnake avoidance training, and both took off immediately and thankfully did not get bit. I went and got my snake equipment caught the snake and put it in my small trash can for transportation. In this picture I had just released the snake to its new home 1/8 mile away, to a snake happy place with a small creek (actually runoff from golf course) that no doubt has rodents, birds, etc around. I have to laugh why this snake was at my front door, that’s a scary first! Unfortunately at this time of the morning we have the shadows, and I have learned my lesson to come out later for a nicer photo. I’m not about to re-catch him and come back out later lol
Another strikingly beautiful rattler found & rehomed to safety. :)
I’m saving the life of this beautiful snake. Unfortunately the first thing people wanna do is to kill these innocent snakes if they find it in their yard. I agree it cannot stay on your property where there’s pets and people. I remove snakes off my own property for safety sakes. So if anybody gets a hold of me I will definitely come and remove the rattler to a new safe area not to far away.
My neighbor called for help to remove this beautiful snake. It was underneath a tool chest and took a while to get it out. Found a nice place nearby in some rocky hills. After I turned it loose the snake had to put up with me taking a zillion pictures of it :) (Apr. 6, 2021) Palm Desert, Calif
I had just released this snake from the container to it’s new home a few acres away. I found this one on my property and needed to take it elsewhere where my dogs wouldn’t come across it.

5'+ and as thick as a rabbit!

Web find.
This is not my snake or photo, just thought it was pretty cool looking. I believe this is and older image that has been around for some time. I do not think this snake is still alive.
A hazard of Taking the Wildflower Shots. Saw this , what I assume is a Red Diamond Back Rattle Snake, in the Grass. Looked to be about 5-6+ feet long. Since this Snake has some reach on its strike decided this shot was good enough.

This was the rattle on The Snake looks to be 10+Rattles with the end broken off
