That happened to me when i was in the army, & took an afternoon to go exploring in the swamps of south georgia. Old eastern diamondback had found it's way up a bit of a half-downed cypress tree's exposed roots. Dude was looking into my soul, as i filled my britches. 😂

Mr. Diamondback got free rent at his new tunnel condo .

Marissa, I am curious if a rattlesnake can climb up high under some conditions. I'm in Southern California in Northwest Orange County, separated from the Arizona border by Riverside County and from Mexico by San Diego County. My home has a detached garage with no plaster on the garage walls. Can a Southern Pacific rattler climb the open exposed studs on the wall and hide in the rafters above ground to ambush stray lizards that climb into the rafters? In a toolshed behind my garage, a few years ago, I came across some pieces of shed skin that might have been from a snake or a lizard. It didn't have any leg section on it. It was partial. The reptile didn't settle into my tool shed. My garage is more inviting because it has a laundry area in it, and it has a hot water heater. The rafters near the heater vent pipe appear to stay warm enough for lizards to be comfortable during any and all seasons. There are also squirrels that migrated permanently to my neighborhood. There never used to be squirrels until about 30 years ago. I'm aware of the prey factor that brings snakes into the area. Gophers have also multiplied in my neighborhood, but that isn't unusual. There have been gopher snakes in my area for decades. My concern is the Southern Pacific rattlesnake slowly migrating into my area, 1 mile at a time. There is an Armed Forces base in the area, and coyotes have been seen there too. Some rattlers have been spotted at the Base in the past 5 years.
