***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[Greybear23]

Hey Elwood I love the Minnow/Snake trap idea!!! I caught a copperhead a few years ago, it was coiled up under some 2x12s I had stacked up, when I picked them up I seen it and laid them back down, went and got the snake jar and a stick, had my son move the boards an I caught the snake and put it in the gallon jar, it almost filled the jar, it was over three feet long!!! I took it to a friend in Edmond and upon removing it from the jar my friend says" good thing you brought HER to me!" I said what??? It is a girl, and he says yes and she is pregnant and about to have babies, so you would have had about 20-30 babies around your place if you hadn't caught her!!! I think snakes are cool but do not like them around my chickens, took Teach a 2 and 1/2 foot Rat Snake to Poops!!! I picked up a gorgeous Spangled Game rooster and a beautiful Brown Red marked Toppy hen today at Guy Rose Auction!!!! Had a great visit with Les and Teva and their cute grand daughter!!! Bought too much stuff but only ended up spending $30 today!!! Have a great evening!! Lynn

I stoppe dby. Needed a break from cleaning up from the storm. i only stsyed about an hour or so an saw a few BYC'ers. Did not get to talk to them though. Not much that i was interested in.

DH wants a couple of Astralorps. Not sure why he didn't get them at POOPS, saw some adults there and chicks, so figured I would look for some at Blanchard. At this time I would need a young adult bird though because I am treating all my brooders for Cocci and don't want to bring in any chicks till we get that kicked.

they tend to stay in bushes or shrubs. they are a bright total green. there are garter snakes that have a greenish color but also have other colors on them...usually a checkered pattern

My great niece saw one today in a hole in a tree. I will check.tomorrow to see if it is still there and try to catch it for you.

Teach, I want one or more of every one of them too, but I want pics, not the actual snake.

Jaxon asked about Montana this evening, wondering where he was. So sorry that you had the opportunity to visit the ER with a little boy who has a major ouch.

Hope Montana is feeling better tomorrow (and maybe well enough that he can brag about the big bandaid on his finger.)

Teach, Jared caught what he calls a legless lizard the other day. Cool creature.
I am not sure of the exact name. It looked more like a lizard than a snake but had no legs. Would it be a glazz snake or is it called legless lizard?
He turned it loose.
