Who are you? Steve Irwin's niece? Are you outside looking for reptiles, rodents, amphibians and mammals 24/7?
LOL! We enjoy all the critters that show up in our yard too. DH found this one Sat. We have a huge skink that lives on our front porch, and I am waiting for "George", my favorite tree frog to show back up this year. He lives on the front porch too. I was less than enthused about just the tail of a skink I found under the garage door...........ewwww.
Our neighbor had a 6 foot black snake on his porch yesterday... I'm just sayin', if a snake shows up at my house, he's gonna be a dead snake. I don't care how harmless he is. If you are a snake lover and think that's awful, then you can PM me your number now. I'll call you to come remove it when it shows up.
Honestly girl, I can buy a dang mouse trap. And if that doesn't work, I have cats. I...just....can't....do....snakes. I am not even kidding you, lol...
Yep...even the idea of a snake is enough! :jester: I surprised a snake last Saturday while mowing...rounded the corner at the back of the lot and there he was...really long black snake with his head up several inches above the ground. Still finding pieces of him here and there. I'm sure the whole neighborhood heard me screaming!:ack:
LOL Jen!! There is a black snake that lives under my shed and there is a huge one here at the house I work out of too. He took a few years off my boss's life last summer, was right under his foot as he went to step off the deck. Screamed like a girl! :lol::lol::lol:
Okay, I'm not a real big fan of snakes. Not scared of them, but never really cared to handle one that much, but I did get a chance to put a small ball python around my neck at Noah's Landing for a photo op. Not really that big a deal. I do, however, have an appreciation for them. I think I mentioned it before, but if you get a chance and aren't grossed out by just looking at snakes, visit the Cape Fear Serpentarium on the riverfront at Wilmington. They have some of the largest and deadliest snakes in existence...bushmaster, cobras, black mambas, pythons, gaboon viper, anaconda + gators, crocs, lizards, etc. If you go for nothing else, check out their huge King Cobra. It is the most amazing snake I've ever seen. I would squat down and "hide" from it and it would literally seek me out to see what I was doing. Just a inch or so of glass separating you from a near 20 foot long snake that can kill an adult elephant! Each exhibit is marked with a skull-and-crossbones rating system of how deadly the snake you're are view is if bitten.
Would honestly love to have one of these as to me they are a beautiful creature and much to be respected.
