Why are we so adamant about snake fence standards and complete perimeters? Exhibit A: a large Western Diamondback Rattlesnake we were called out to capture in a backyard with the handyman special attached to the fence. With the gates and expansion joints incomplete and other issues, the backyard had become an effective rattlesnake trap rather than a deterrent.

No, this isn't evidence that "snake fencing don't work!", but a reminder that it is specialty work with a very big drop off between correct and incorrect application. It's something we take very seriously because of situations like this one, which we see every single day.
