Re: Show your Bugs and Critters
Normally, I am tolerant of snakes.
They keep down the rodent, mole and gopher population.
Have not seen rattlesnakes or water moccasins
but we do have Copperheads.
They do not get a pass.
This one the other night was on the front porch
The hounds went on full alarm.
I blinded it with a bright flashlight and after a bit
nailed it in the head with a hiking stick.
Typically they are small, 10 to 15 inches.
This is the largest one to date, a hefty 20 inches.

Re: Show your Bugs and Critters
It's a shame no one was documenting my removal of several frogs and many, many tadpoles from our soon-to-be demolished swimming pool. It's amazing how quickly nature takes back in Florida. They made a home out of the few inches of rain water that had collected at the bottom. I'll try to rescue more tadpoles in the few days left, but I'll never be able to get them all.

Re: Show your Bugs and Critters
That’s great! I haven’t done that with frogs, but I do enjoy hooting with the barred owls and whistling with the mocking birds. So much life around us all the time, so much joy and entertainment available. Just slow down and pay attention outside!Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 09, 2022 11:18 amWe have three in back , they sure like to chatter .
