I wish that you had put the word "snake" in your title of this thread.

It would have saved me from being skeeved out.

...we found big brothers skin yesterday; about 7'

...we found big brothers skin yesterday; about 7'


Why'd you bring him in the house? :shrug:

...we found big brothers skin yesterday; about 7'

Yeah hubby came in the house the other day out of breath..said he saw one crossing the dirt road and head and tail were in the grass..I said YEAH

Why'd you bring him in the house? :shrug:


...it's two acres of greenhouse space. There's lots of ways to slither in and out. All kinds of good places to help him shed. He actually lost it in a table of gerbs; rubbed against the pots to get out of it.

How did the ladies react to that? :lol:

How did the ladies react to that? :lol:


...it's funny you should ask. :lmao:

Typh calls me on her cell (I'm in the office) 'Shriek! It's a snake! Shriek!

Be right there.

Mind you, this is after working until 7 last night as a group and finding the 7 foot skin in another table. So, there's that stage set.

Liz, our erstwhile hippie/vegan/flower child is GONE. She's as far out of the area as she can be and still be in the greenhouse. Incidentally, other than snakes, she is the most industrious of the group, always looking for the next thing to do, pitch in.

Adam, our resident goof/burn out is just giggling up a storm and somewhat like a puppy when something, anything, happens.

Typh is 1/2 way to Liz.

And Erin, all 5' of her is up under the tables trying to get a better look.

Allyn is taking it all in as the mature elder of the group (Bryan is on the road)

So, I go up under the tables because I have to SHOW SNAKE gone or I'll never see Liz again.

I end up flinging him Erin's direction, who just is happy to be part of the great snake chase as can be. Bastard did a double take around a couple wires and when I pulled him loose he took a swipe at me. So, Erin is like hightailing it out of there as best she can given the tables are 32" over our heads.

So, I get him under control, knees all scuffed up, and everyone wants to see him and pet him.

Except for Liz.

:lmao:


It was a freaking riot for a bit and added some salt and pepper to yet one more tedious day of poesy packing.

I'm with you, Momma! A good snake is a dead snake. :jameo:


Pestilence ridden vermin (mice and rats)

or


A few snakes.

Naw... we can just expect a pretty interesting thread by morning...

Coral snakes are Elapids, as opposed to pit vipers like the copperhead, rattlesnake, and cottonmouth. Elapids have a neurotoxic venom. After being bitten, early signs and symptoms include tremors, difficulty speaking, difficulty swallowing, eyelids drooping, fixed pupils, and in severe bites respiratory depression. Symptoms can be delayed up to 12 hours after being bitten. The bite can be painless as opposed to a pit viper.

I have another one, but I'm not sure where he went :ohwell: I have a feeling he didn't get to far though :lol:

Jazz.... there was too much trash under to get the cages down... I swear someone buried a tractor down there, all kinds of all farm stuff and loads of broken glass. River didn't realize it till she tilled it when things were fling up from the cultivator... I could never get all four tines down at once so I flipped it and steaked them in with tent pegs :biggrin:

No, I swear... who ever lived here threw everything out there and it's like an archelogical dig. I've gotten horseshoes, hoards of glass, plates, bike pedals, etc... it's an OLD farm house... River can attest to this. Thats why I have to wear gloves in the garden, its not the dirt its all the broken glass and stuff. I just figured it'd be good drainage. Yes... strawberries are fine Jazz :lol: Is that too much roots showing, should I add more dirt :shrug: Don't know about the 50 water mellon I planted in a one foot radius though :lol:

Anyway...

No kidding. I've been on my lot for 5 years and have yet to see a snake. Well, I did see a snakeskin that one had shed in the woods the first year I was here, but nothing since. They're part of nature and unless they're in my house, they're good to go. :lol:
