Handy fellow to have around. Great mousers.


Awesome!! Thank you!

A few years back I could not understand why chicks were going missing from the brooder in the garage until I found one being eaten in the brooder by a huge snake.

Since putting fine mesh over all the brooders have not had a problem.
 
Oh yeah, they eat birds too, and other snakes, lizards, turtles, but I think rats and mice are their primary target.


While not exactly sunlight, the sky is brighter than it has been in days.

Today must be the day for snakes. I don't know what your's is, but I saw a rat snake in the basement yesterday, as I opened the sliding door to come in, but it went into hiding. I left the door open a crack the rest of yesterday & all day today 'til <3 hrs ago, giving the snake a chance to find its way out. It did, all 4' of it!

Did any more find their way in during that time?

I'm surprised I haven't found more in the basement. I often leave the door open all the time. And it is at the bottom of a stairwell they are likely to explore.
When I put a new flat roof on the house, 35' high, there was a snake in the air space between the ceiling joists and roof rafters.

Kill it with fire.

They belong here. We're the invasive species.

We adapt. Like my pig. Who sits in a pool. LOL



I would make the pig move over and squeeze in next to him.

I am thinking you need to move... I could use a neighbor that fishes and raises chickens.

Whites is mine, I need someone that's handy at building shtuffs around here.


I don't know what time of year that was, but it could've been any day of the year, depending on where in CA you were.

Sometime in summer. All I know is I'm thankful I'm not living there.

I think she had some tough weather but she's not getting any rain now. I'm OK. Just a bit wet. We had about 2 hours without rain yesterday and perhaps will get some dry time this afternoon but I doubt the baseball game will be played. Yesterday's game was cancelled early.
I don't plant myself in a valley unless I have a canoe. Around here, if you're smart, you don't build anywhere near a stream.

There's a lot more heading toward both of us but hopefully it won't be as severe. It should be dry by this time tomorrow. Chance of sun on Tuesday and then 3 more days of rain.

Wow, stay safe.

Unless your olfactory senses don't work, you'll know when you open the incubator. Then you can sniff test all of them. I've only had a stinker once and a leaker once.
I had to remove a whole rail of the turner with the leaker. It was glued in place. I removed all the other eggs, carried the rail to the compost pile and broke the egg into it. Just a bit of cleaning but no problem compared to a stinker.

I never smelled mine until it busted. My nose is broke.
