Local Wildlife Experts You Can Trust
Living in Arizona has it's perks. Amazing weather for 7-8 months of the year continues to draw people to the Tucson metro area. What a lot people don't realize, though, is that our desert is also home to a long list of herptofauna (reptiles and amphibians), including several species of rattlesnakes. As urban sprawl spreads it is only natural for more and more interactions occur between some of the native snakes and new homeowners and businesses. That's where we step in. Our experience with dangerous reptiles goes back years. While removal of snakes does not always need to occur, it is becoming more and more common a necessity for the safety of the public. Should you find yourself in a situation where expert advice and experience is needed, don't hesitate to reach to receive the help you need.

My name is Darren Anderson
Having been raised in Tucson, I spent a great amount of my youth outdoors exploring the Sonoran
desert and learning to appreciate all Southern Arizona has to offer. I started catching snakes and lizards as early as I can remember. It wasn't long before neighbors started calling me to remove snakes from their yards as a teenager.
Nowadays, I enjoy spending time exploring
nature, participating in sports and sporting events, wildlife photography, and most of all, spending
time with my family. After graduating from the University of Arizona with a B.S. in Wildlife Management, I participated in a research project
at Tucson's very own Saguaro National Park studying the only venomous lizard in the United States,
the Gila monster.
