Thinking of relocating to AZ? Here are a few things I wish I had known Valley Fever Monsoon humidity Sonoran Toads: These toads can kill a dog if they pick them up. Look them up, they have a decently distinct color/gland on face. Know the toad! Blacklights in every room Birds are crazy!!! Cactus Wrens are cool!! They are quite the character! Bird screening around solar panels Snakes: Know what the difference is between a rattle snake and a gopher snake. Don’t kill them they eat a lot of the things we don’t want in our homes. Dark colored pavers are hot! Plan on walking your dog in the heat? Buy shoes! Next level dust/dirt in the house! Don’t leave water in the hose! This has caused burns to humans and pets alike. The heat building inside the hose can burst! Some areas do not have natural gas. Electric stoves can be tricky. It takes a different mindset to use them without killing what you are cookin’.
