Arizona Wildlife: Scorpions, Rattlesnakes & Coyotes — What's Actually Real? Is Arizona wildlife really something to worry about, or just stories to scare newcomers off?

In this video, I break down bark scorpions and how to manage them, rattlesnakes and how to snake-proof your yard, why coyotes, bobcats, and even mountain lions are a real part of desert living (and what that means for your pets), plus a lesser-known fact buried in Arizona's seller property disclosure that most buyers never think to check.
