OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm with the husband. Is it a poisonous snake? Or does something like pythons? That very well could be why not many toads....friend of mine suggested a snake. I'm sure that thing would help with the mice too. Might depend on how often/much it would eat versus how quickly the mice populated. What about baby snakes????So I went down to my aquaponics room this afternoon to find a 4+ foot long Red Racer snake stretched across one of the beds, drinking water as it fell from one bed to the next. Upon seeing me it climbed down into one of the cement blocks...completely unreachable. I told my husband...he totally freaked out and wants it gone. (He really doesn't like snakes.) Me? I'm thinking we now have an efficient solution to our growing mouse problem. And maybe this is also why we haven't been seeing many toads around here this year.

You are awesomely amazing.They're non-venomous, and purported to be fairly aggressive, though the ones I've dealt with in the past have been more inclined to slither away than bite. Baby snakes are precisely what my husband is concerned about. We had a Red Racer find its way into the chicken nursery when my chicks were only about 3-5 weeks old. It didn't attack any of them but frantically tried to find its way out again. My husband insisted on killing it. I saw it as a source of free protein for my chickens and decided to skin it for them to pick at, and found a baby snake inside of it, much to my surprise. At that point I tossed it down into the valley near our house and watched as some very happy crows took ownership of it instead.
If it's not obvious, snakes, as a general rule, don't bother me. I used to play with Garter Snakes as a kid. I think they're kinda cool.

Oh, I forgot to share...about a week ago, I was sitting on my sofa looking at my neglected back yard, and a mama quail and her two babies strolled up to the sliding glass doors and hung out for about 15 minutes. They left for awhile and came back later with Daddy watching over them. It was the cutest thing, and no telling what else may be living out there, but hope to have those issues resolved in the coming days.It looks good. I get exhaustion & procrastination. Just chip away it. I call it putzing around the house. Entails anything & everything that needs to be done from dishes to poop patrol to making/building/fixing whatever. My house is still unfinished for dog door, tile, ceiling lights, paints, etc., after 3 years. Just takes time. Big thing is you have your idea & plan. That's a good step.
Possibly. Would they not get along with the chickens?Oh, I forgot to share...about a week ago, I was sitting on my sofa looking at my neglected back yard, and a mama quail and her two babies strolled up to the sliding glass doors and hung out for about 15 minutes.

It's pathetic that I neglected the backyard so long, but it was nice to know that Mama chose to raise her babies back there. They were smaller than newborn chicks, but they got around pretty good. I hope they're fully fledged and have moved on when I finally get out there. --BB
They're pretty neat looking. I kinda miss finding Larry out in the yard. I'm not a reptile fan in any way what so ever. Much as I love animals & nature...I respect their place in the world & their purpose. Massive awe for you handling them! Not something I could do.
I discovered that when I went looking to what in heck Larry was! First time I'd seen one. I think he got mad about the chickens & having the prickly pear removed so he moved.
