Before starting Placer Snake Removal, Tyler had been providing in-depth analysis of northern California's winter storms (and the occasionally active weather during the warm season), with a special emphasis on thunderstorm forecasts. The years of studying & forecasting local weather quickly meshed into working with snakes, as weather conditions play a significant, vital role in snake activity.

In addition to usual rattlesnake shenanigans, it's primetime gopher snake season right now as well. Lots of cases of accidental misidentification in the past couple of weeks between gopher snakes and rattlesnakes.

Speaking of gopher snakes, an interesting case in Rocklin last weekend was a callout for one gopher snake in a backyard that ended up being 3 adult gopher snakes. It's mating season for snakes currently, so I'm sure you can connect the dots there.

The whacky spring weather whiplash is expected to continue this weekend into next week, which should continue to result in interesting snake activity.

Tired of photos of snakes, but like graphs? Here's some data from the past few years showing how temperature factors into people encountering rattlesnakes (and subsequently getting removed). It helps visualize the temperature range where people and rattlesnakes most intersect.

A few snakes from over the weekend/late last week. Should be a downward trend in activity during the middle of this week, but will start trending back upwards again towards the weekend.

Usually in mid-March, it's common to find rattlesnakes basking outside their dens during seasonal warmth. The extremely anomalous heat we're experiencing is supporting rattlesnake activity similar to that of late April or May, with some adult rattlesnakes today brazenly out cruising around not realizing it's still rather early.

The next few days will likely play out very similar to today, if not at an even higher pace given the slight warming still expected.

What started as a call for a single rattlesnake (that willingly crawled into a pooper scooper) in a garage this afternoon led to the discovery of four more of his comrades under the house where the five had been overwintering.

Got this pair of rattlesnakes out from under a home in Loma Rica, where they were likely planning to spend the winter. One of the two gave away their position by sunning in a nearby vent each morning.

Scenes like this will become more common over the next several days as our first true winter-like storm arrives.
