    Marissa, I am curious if a rattlesnake can climb up high under some conditions. I'm in Southern California in Northwest Orange County, separated from the Arizona border by Riverside County and from Mexico by San Diego County. My home has a detached garage with no plaster on the garage walls. Can a Southern Pacific rattler climb the open exposed studs on the wall and hide in the rafters above ground to ambush stray lizards that climb into the rafters? In a toolshed behind my garage, a few years ago, I came across some pieces of shed skin that might have been from a snake or a lizard. It didn't have any leg section on it. It was partial. The reptile didn't settle into my tool shed. My garage is more inviting because it has a laundry area in it, and it has a hot water heater. The rafters near the heater vent pipe appear to stay warm enough for lizards to be comfortable during any and all seasons. There are also squirrels that migrated permanently to my neighborhood. There never used to be squirrels until about 30 years ago. I'm aware of the prey factor that brings snakes into the area. Gophers have also multiplied in my neighborhood, but that isn't unusual. There have been gopher snakes in my area for decades. My concern is the Southern Pacific rattlesnake slowly migrating into my area, 1 mile at a time. There is an Armed Forces base in the area, and coyotes have been seen there too. Some rattlers have been spotted at the Base in the past 5 years.

      Rattlesnakes can climb half their body length straight up. So if the surface is flat with no grip they won’t make it very high. If there are things it can use more like a ladder ya it can go higher, but I wouldn’t think one would ever go up into the rafters. With prey using that area I’d think one would more just be sitting on the ground waiting for it to come by.

      @@yupyupyup4444 my walls have diagonal braces per 1955 building code for earthquake resistant structural integrity. The region had a severe earthquake in 1933 that damaged buildings severely - Long Beach California quake on the Newport Inglewood Fault line branch off the San Andreas Fault. A local plumbing company told my late dad in 1964 that the garage was built extra sturdy when they were adding plumbing to the garage when my folks moved the laundry room out of the house to the garage. There is diagonal bracing on the open studs for a snake to climb if it finds the rafters more suitable. A hot water heater is next to my side door garage entrance, and a rafter above is ideal for lizards to stay warm near the heater vent pipe. There was a rattlesnake sighting at a cemetery over 1 mile away, and it is near a creek (Coyote Creek) at the edge of my city. The creek has tributaries that come through my neighborhood next to a closed railroad track right of way. Coyotes and racoons have made their way into my neighborhood. A rattlesnake once got swept into Coyote Creek from hillsides 10-15 miles away during a rain storm and ended up at the one cemetery a mile from my home. A local resident's dog got bitten by a Southern Pacific rattlesnake, not seen for at least 6 or more decades in my area until rain storms caused some rattlesnakes to be swept away from hillsides 10 or more miles north of my area.
