Love the folks with the AC snake, just casually there's a "Gila monster and a coachwhip living here." They seem like the best kind of folks to live in that spot.

I know, they were so chill. They are awesome!

You guys are still legends. The speckled rattlesnake looked pretty happy about the little bath.

I've learned a lot about snakes from this channel. I was able to rescue a juvenile coachwhip out of my neighbors garage using the same techniques shown here. Some water in the bucket and then released into the rocks. The neighbors have proclaimed me the snake guy now. I told them if it has fangs, I'm out😅

I'm in Colorado and in the summer, I do like the snakes and seek those dark, cool places until the sun goes down. It's the only way to survive out here!

This was a really fun video! I like the longer format, 18 minutes is good.

Gosh you guys, thanks for caring for the critters and knowing how to help them in the heat.❤ be save and be well. Dang it's brutal heat now.

I was just told the other day “but yours is a dry heat, we have humidity”. I just let it go. Lol Another great video!!

This heat is brutal, you all stay safe out there!

As a student and enthusiast of meteorology, I can tell you that relative humidity (RH) is always relative to the temperature and although 67% humidity is high for 95-100 degrees Fahrenheit (really high actually) the RH is always going to be higher in the early morning hours as the temperature is at the lowest it can be during the day and the lower the temperature, the less moisture it can hold. A better way to gauge the moisture content of the air is the dew point. Because the dew point (with no change in air mass) will remain constant if the temperature increases where as the RH will begin to drop. But either way the moisture level in the air remains the same. A good way to gauge it is, dew points below 50 degrees F, feel comfortable to most people. 50-65 starts to feel uncomfortable to most people, and anything above 65 starts to feel like bathroom/sauna type of humid. Here on the coast in Texas during summer I've seen dew points as high as 81 degrees during the mid-day hours and even with an ambient air temperature of 85, with a dew point of 81 that results in a heat index of over 100F. But you're absolutely right about the "actual" heat that Arizona has being a "TRUE" heat so-to-say, rather than just uncomfortable. I've spent many years living in both types of climate conditions (both dry and humid heat) and the humidity can absolutely dehydrate you by making you sweat profusely. So it's not just a "feels uncomfortable", it can be deadly as well. Just not as deadly as actual temperatures being really hot. Of course none of that humidity matters to the snakes as they do not have sweat glands. They absolutely just rely on actual air temperature and surrounding temperature of their environment to survive.

Thank you for braving the heat to save the rattlesnakes. ❤

These videos make me homesick. I grew up in the east valley and I can’t wait to move back (crazy as it may sound)! I guess I was just lucky and only came in close contact with a rattlesnake once in my 30 + years there. I remember back in 1990 the valley hit over 122 degrees and there were dead rattlesnakes near the road that had died from exposure to the heat. I never realized until then how easily they could die from the heat.

When you clear 105 degrees, it's friggin hot regardless of humidity. I've been in 95 degrees in southern Utah and it felt like a very nice 80 degree day in St. Louis. So based on my anecdotal evidence 90-105 is when the humidity impact feels worse. Beyond 105 all bets are off. Stay inside in the AC if possible.

Cant imagine. Its hot as hell here in Austin, getting up to 105f (not taking heat index into account). Stay safe in that heat!

Rare to hear anyone in Arizona say, "Keep 'er movin," so thank you from my Midwestern roots.

18-minutes! Still went too fast lol. Awesome snakes. So glad I moved away from insane heat.

That is soooooo hot. I don't tolerate high temps very well. Thank yuo guys for being so mindful and compassionate wiht the snakes! Coach Whips snakes are so fast! Awesome job Jeff!

Thank you for loving attention to snakes❤

I live in Las Vegas, NV. and we got up to 114 but Pheonix is a few degrees hotter than I am at! Thanks for giving those beautiful animals and nice cold bath and drink. Too bad you guys could not use that rental trailer as a rental for snakes with that leaky air conditioning underneath it!

I honestly never thought this kind of heat would be lethal to the wildlife 😥

Thank you again for keeping the snakes safe and please be safe yourselves. Maybe take some hats or caps - I bet a wide-brim would look great on Marissa :D

More longer video's please 😊

3% relative humidity at 118 F should work out to about 80 F using a swamp cooler. You just need to mount swamp coolers on your cars. :)

This hot heat is deadly for them.

Much respect for your dedication even when it’s even more dangerous for you. It proves that this comes from your soul. Bless you.

Great video. When I retire, I want to move to a rural area where I can have cool wildlife to look at. Great job with the relocations. I think Rattlesnakes are awesome creatures!

You are all legends!

Welcome to the summers in Arizona.

You are very brave to be out there at 118°F. In Celsius its 47°C. We complain when it gets to 40°C, with the humidex. Winter in Phoenix sounds great to us, but summer not so much. 😅 you are very brave doing what you do this time of the year for the wildlife in Arizona. Love you videos, Mike from Montreal.

I wonder if they have many calls to remove rattlesnakes in Summerhaven. If so, that would be a welcome relief for whoever is covering Tucson even if Tucson is quite a bit lower than Phoenix, but still over 100.

I'm terrified of snakes ,but I've tried to overcome that fear by educating myself about rattle snakes , Yu out channel has been a major part of helping me to get over that phobia, cause I live in N Az. Where I come into contact with snakes often .

Holy crap, that giant mansion with the speck... How do people afford crazy places like that? Must be nice. XD

6:00- Marissa.... why are you wearing a black shirt in 110° weather?? LOL

Advice needed please…I live in West Texas and we have a huge # of Prairie Rattlesnakes and more than normal # of Diamondbacks (approximately 2 feet long on average). For the first time we have been finding them in our chicken coop every few days. We relocate them to a canyon area with large rocks and crevices as well as shrubs and grass not far from a pond. My question is they seem to be getting in around the gate, is there something that snakes don’t like to cross that would still allow the gate to swing? Just trying to protect my young flock of chickens without harming the snakes! Thank you!

Yeah, it's been a crazy hot summer this year. I live in Coolidge, and I have had to stay inside in the afternoon. It's a killer, no doubt. It was cooler last summer, but it was more humid.

People that have not lived in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Palm Springs etc and say it's a dry heat have no idea. I played baseball at ASU and we used to practice everyday mid to late afternoon during fall ball. We would run and run and run. I don't know how someone did not get deathly ill or worse.

last time i was in red rock country i would start getting sick to my stomach at 95 deg F, i cant imagine trying to do anything in 115 it dont matter how dry it is those are fatal temperatures and you can bet any large mammals in that area are headed into the higher elevations to get away from the heat

I don’t have a lot of experience in Arizona. I worked a few week long jobs in both Phoenix and Tucson. Last time I was there I was doing an installation in Chandler, and it was 109 degrees. Being from the southeastern US, I will tell you I’ll take your 109 @ 3% humidity over our 89 @ 73% humidity any day.

Too hot for me & I live in Florida. You guys stay safe with your very high temperatures.

You guys are amazing! Hope you are having cooler weather!

An hour drive to pick up a juvenile coachwhip. Once he found out it wasn't a rattlesnake he should said just leave it. That last house was impressive.

It is hot as hell there! I lived in Palm Springs for 28 years and I know that heat!

I caught a seven foot rat snake on base in Tucson Arizona. Beautiful snake I also caught a Gila Monster there and gave her to a doctor who had a reptile show on tv. Two weeks after i gave her to him he had her on his show and she had given birth to some babies. Another beautiful and misunderstood animal.

So hot. Good day to stay indoors.

The people who live in the mountainous rocky areas around Phoenix, like the last home, should just assume there will be snakes of all kinds. There are thousands of them in those hills.

Bryan - It's frickin' hot today, ....so is The Quarterback supposed to go, "Ready...Set, Hup One, Hup Two, Hup Three....DON'T HIKE???"

You're doing a great job.

I hope u all stay safe.

Drinking fancy Body Armor water must've made that coachwhip feel like the most pampered snake in the world 😂😂😂

You guys are amazing.

Was just on your website and dang i had no odea AZ had so many species of rattlesnake! Very cool

Would love to see you do a collaboration with Clint’s Reptiles! Great informative videos, thank you 😊

Rattlers are cute, and beautiful. Just gotta let them live their lives undisturbed.

well if they get too close to humans Rattlesnake Solutions capture and repatriate them

Caught a baby Rattler on my porch last night (central Colo. 7000 ft.) Have caught over 20 in the last 15 years. My neighbors yard is piled with junk and I wish she would sell and it could get cleaned up.

And here I am, squawking about 95-97 in Chattanooga. 😁 I’d die to death in AZ, I just know it!

Jeff, you and Marissa both need some straw hats that you can pour some water over when you go into the desert to help keep y’all cool. A wet folded bandanna around your necks wouldn’t hurt either. It’s 118 in Phoenix and a chilly 109 here in Tucson today. When people use that “But it’s a dry heat “, my reply is “so is an oven but it’s hot either way”.

@@JW...-oj5iw Nope! It would be great in some situations, but the best thing possible is to leave the situation entirely alone until we get there. If the snake is disturbed and decides to move, the job can become much more difficult.

67 percent humidity with over 100 degree temperatures makes for a miserable day outside.

8:11 - Any potential issues with alkaline "sport water" for snakes? 🤔 Or, alternatively, any particular reason Jeff chose that (apart from his own personal preference, that is)?

Drink lots of water please! Stay safe Everyone!

Super weird question, but what was the song in the background played at the end? It was super familiar, and i can't remember where I've heard it.

What are you people doing walking around in that heat??? A lot of people don’t know that Minnesota can get as hot in the Summer as it does cold in the Winter, but if we go over 100° it’s usually only a few times all Summer (we do get a lot of high 90°s). Phoenix, though, is crazy. I don’t know how you function outside, at all. You must drink a gallon of water an hour. 😳

I just purchased the clamp type snake holder. Are they okay to use?

117! Holy fuck!!!

It was 118 at my place yesterday. Brutal. Being from Southeast TX originally it’s far hotter here. The dry heat is true, but only to a certain point, and when monsoonal moisture starts cranking up the dry heat argument goes out the window. Anyone who has been here in July and August in a typical year knows that saying is a cruel hoax.

Need a link to the whole video

In my two years i only found 2 rattlesnakes and i went looking for them.

I have no idea how y'all live in that environment. And I'm from South Louisiana where it stays 95% humidity and 100°. 118° is just on another level. I go outside and get nasty and sticky, but I don't really have to worry about literally DYING.

👍☀️

With it getting warmer every year do you worry about the affects of climate change and the dangerous heat.

Where is your hat 😢

Marissa says she doesn't get hot easily as she's walking around smokin on the daily.

Do you know of a video you would recommend that can provide some practical guidance to non-professionals on how to remove snakes from our property rather than just killing them. I live in east Texas and my personal issue is the chicken coup. I don't think most snakes that I see in any given year are even poisonous but I still don't like them making a home out of our coup. I've purchased a grabber tool but have not had an opportunity to use it yet. Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide. Cheers.

Why not take water with you when you go to the desert. Give those babies some water!!

Is it always that hot there, or is it due to climate change?

I'm glad that they're repatriated instead of being killed

How can you check to make sure that the “cave” runs deep like Jeff indicated he checked?
