Rattlesnake rescue
Found a Rattlesnake?
Found a Rattlesnake?
1
Stay at least 6 feet away. Rattlesnakes only strike when they
feel threatened—give them space and they will not attack.
Ensure that children or pets do not get close to it.
Stay calm and keep your
distance
Most bites happen when people attempt to pick up or kill a
snake. Leave it alone. A dead or injured snake can still
envenomate, even through a reflex bite.
Do NOT try to handle or kill it
2
Calmly move children and pets indoors or to a safe distance.
Keep watching the snake from afar so you can tell Dan
exactly where it is when he arrives for rescue.
Keep people and pets away
3
Take note of where the snake is—under a bush, on a porch,
near a wall—without getting close. A photo from a safe
distance is helpful.
Note the snake's location
4
Text or call (707) 590-5989 with your address and a brief
description of where the snake is located. Dan will respond as
quickly as possible to relocate the snake safely.

Keep the bite victim calm and still to slow venom spread.
Remove tight clothing or jewelry near the bite. Do NOT cut
the wound, suck out venom, or apply a tourniquet. Get to a
hospital immediately.
If someone is bitten—call 911
immediately
