Danielle Wall has transformed how locals interact with rattlesnakes. Her work has earned her a front-row seat to reshaping of California's High Desert.
Spring marks the start of the high desert’s slow season. Beneath a blanket of scorching heat, tourism drops. Restaurants and stores shorten their hours. But for Danielle Wall, business begins to pick up. The tattooed, cutoff-clad 29-year-old has become the Joshua Tree area's premier rattlesnake wrangler. From April through October, she fields phone calls, texts and social media messages from people who want her to remove venomous visitors from their properties.
“But I’m gonna spend my little time, my chunk of life here, just helping people, helping the snakes.” Later that afternoon, after she ribbed the construction crew, Wall drives into the backcountry of Landers with three Tupperware-like containers in the backseat of her truck. Inside each, a rescue. When the ride gets bumpy, they rattle and hiss. She pulls up a map on her phone.
