Well good luck whatever you decide.
Rattlers love rocky outcroppings so you might want to cruise the area when you spot a place you like. Yes the closer to rocky hills you get the more likely you are to find snakes but there are some great solutions out there on the net (the fencing you mentioned works well the repellents they have for sale everywhere don't). We get them here and I almost stepped on one not a month after we moved in but it just let me know it was there and then moved off. Rattlers are very timid creatures and most strikes happen to males between the ages of 18 and 25 while they are pursuing the snake. I have been researching snake barrier fencing for a few months now since my male shepherd is entirely too curious and I doubt he'd stop just because a snake warned him to. lol
I am sure you will love it there once you all find the perfect place! The city has a lot of really fun stuff to do and the foothills are simply gorgeous!!! I would love to retire somewhere near Auburn someday. Beautiful there!
Well nothing from the shipped eggs and all I got from mine were the 2 lav egg projects. I'm playing musical brooder today. Took the older babies out of the big one since they're all feathered out and stuck my Silkied AM chick and 3 others in there. Also put the olive eggers on CL. Hope they sell.
Well thank goodness you got 2 lavender babies! You know my feelings on shipped eggs coming through Reno... I'd rather drive several days to pick up eggs.
