I grew up in Tucson on the edge of town (just inside city limits) and have NEVER seen a rattler anywhere NEAR the house - and our area had significant desert around it.
I think I saw one ONCE in Redington Pass.
Of course, I shot him. Gotta love them .22’s.
It’s the desert, ya know?
Them kinda critters live there. Best thing to do...off them.
And don’t feel bad about it. They’d return the favor.

Regulator,
We live in NW Tucson on a large lot and the pics were taken there. We regularly see rattlers...:^)
