    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I am called upon regularly by residents of my area to remove rattlesnakes from their homes. To date I have been relocating the snakes out in similar habitat but it's getting harder to find good release spots around here.

I would like to find someone that works with local species in whatever capacity that cares for the snakes well aslo. I primarily pick up Red Diamonds but occasionally a Southern Pacific. Yesterday I picked up 2 Rubers from the same home!

These are wild caught animals and I'm just hoping to find good alternatives to the disposition of these snakes. Animal control just shows up with a shovel and will kill them. I sure wish there was a better way.

There will be no monetary exchange for these guys. North San Diego/SW Riverside County area.

Some recent relocations:

I will take them

Hello Cathy,

I know what you mean. I created and ran Snake Busters in NC and FL. I will take them. I will will keep many of them but I also provide zoos, museums, educators and some hobbyists with snakes. Are you a verified shipper with Delta? If not, I can drive out to get them. How long can you hold on to them for? I can't afford to do trips every week but once a month or so would be okay. Please let me know. My email is [email protected]

Thanks,

Is it legal to do that. Or do you have to have a permit or something. I'v been relocating Southern Copper Heads in my area (Missouri). And was wondering if its legal to give them to keepers, breeders and etc. Because im afraid the ones i'v been relocating are just getting killed. Everyone around here kills basically every snake they see.
 
I'm in Fl. I have a Ven. snake License with the state of Florida.

I would love to take some. PM me please.

I use to live in Poway. Caught many S. Pasific. I also like the Reds but didn't catch many.
 
Extra Snakes

Cathy, I live up the coast in Port Hueneme and would drive down to pick up a few helleri to release up here in some fine places and also know some good ones for my all time favorite the Red Diamond. They should be released only where they normaly live but you know that.
I don't know or not if you can mail them out of the state? Can you?
My name is Shannon.

I own Torriano's Serpent Capture and Release in Baxter Florida, If you would contact me and let me know weather you can send them to me, I would love to have them.

Cathy, I used to rescue/relocate rattlers in the Joshua Tree area for many years, only keeping those that were not healthy or in captivity too long. When I moved out of state 3 years ago I ended up placing my 5 longterm residents because even tho people can kill these, CA Fish & Game does not allow them shipped out of state without an enormous papertrail, as they are "protected by law"...be careful you don't get in trouble for being kind...and I sincerely appreciate what you are trying to do...been there!
