YIKES!! One reason I hate growing outdoors!

[Jkelee]

I've never EVER caught a thing in my traps, EXCEPT RATS!!
The Rats that have DESTROYED hundreds of dollars of my Chids. Eating sooooo very many of my beauties!

I've never harmed any snakes, they just SCARE the hell out of me! Always have, always will...

Nice pet snake you have there Jkelee!!

I'm the snake catcher in my house. If they find their way into the pool I have the honor of fishing them out. That goes for the neighbors' pool too. My hubby hates snakes. Can you imgine his reaction when I let my son have a pet snake years ago? I was the one cleaning out the cage and feeding it the goldfish.

The python that was caught was a monster. The newspaper article said it was a very gentle snake...sure after eating 6 or 7 rabbits it probable could hardly move anyway, What's for dessert???

I haven't put names on some. And some, don't have names- NOIDS.
thanks.

Have you considered getting yourself a good "mouser", a cat that will do in your rats. There are also rat terriers, a breed of dog that supposedly is bred to go after rats. I don't have problems with rats or snakes, just squirrels, but my cat keeps the varmints on the run. Some years ago I had problems with squirrels eating my orchids and lost the majority of them. I still have squirrels but I still have my orchids, too.

I have a cat and 3 dogs, and they'd just play with them
They always run too high for them all, on the fences.

Wow I would've been scared too!! I am not much into snakes. That article about the 18' long python was awesome!!! That is bananas to me that someone would have that for a pet - I'm shocked its legal!! And they feed it 6 rabbits a day?? That's expensive!!!

I see a lot of snakes on the wild but they freak me out a little more when they're in my yard.
Not to change the subject too much but we have a HUGE problem in the everglades now with pet pythons that have been released. I hear that officials have admitted that they have lost the fight to contain them and they are in 6 figures out there now. Some 17 footers have been caught.

unfortunately, here the snakes you are likely to see in suburbia are all venomous, mostly red-bellied blacks or browns.

We keep pythons ourselves, but non natives (like burmese pythons) are highly illegal.

Don't have squirrel prooblems though - none here!

It looks harmless to me, far less deadly than the snakes we get over here. lol.
