SERVICES:
Complimentary Snake Identification
I'm happy to offer complimentary snake identification 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
​
Simply take a photo of the snake from a safe distance and text it to (707) 331-4010, or send it by email to rattlesnakerelations@gmail.com
I will reply promptly with an accurate identification of the snake and whether it is a harmless or venomous species.
This service is entirely complimentary.
Rapid Rattlesnake Removal
My rapid rattlesnake removal service is offered 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week.
​
I'll come to you and safely remove the snake as promptly as possible, releasing it a safe distance away from the site of capture. Here's how it works!
This service is offered for $75/hour, in addition to travel at half rate. Most calls are completed in less than an hour, and no one is turned away for lack of funds.
Property Inspection & Consultation
This service is offered by appointment, and can be framed as either a one-time consultation and report, or an ongoing inspection service.
I'll thoroughly inspect your land with rattlesnakes in mind, identifying areas where crossover is likeliest, and suggest actions you could take to mitigate unwanted encounters. In addition, I'll help to empower you with an education of these oft-misunderstood beings, and offer insights into how you might live well and safely alongside them.
This is our preferred service, and it is offered at an hourly rate of $90/hour, plus travel at half rate.
Education
This service is offered by appointment, either for individuals or groups.
​
Perhaps the most empowering approach in learning to live alongside rattlesnakes begins with seeking to have a greater understanding of them - their natural history, ecological role, and relevance in human culture. By demystifying rattlesnakes and cultivating an attitude of reverence for them, one can do much to renegotiate the mainstream societal narratives into a more empowering story of relationship between species.
This service is offered at a sliding scale variable rate - please get in touch to discuss further.
TESTIMONIALS:
"We know that we coexist with these generally shy creatures. That said, a close encounter in your own space can be a highly charged situation. Call Roy. He is calm, competent and has genuine respect and affection for the snake. In the process of thoroughly inspecting my yard, it also became clear that he is, by nature, an excellent teacher. In one hour I learned a lot!
I recommend this service without reservation."

"Anyone who knows me knows that I have had a lifelong fear of snakes, no matter the size or kind. We recently moved our family onto a larger property where a run-in with a snake seems more than likely. We called Rattlesnake relations for a property consultation. Roy walked our property with our whole family. His vast knowledge made me actually feel more empowered than afraid now if I see a rattlesnake."
