Anyone see any cool snakes in their backyards this year?  I've had a couple.

Our first sign of snakeage for '07...left a full, beautiful skin for us...

Looks like a healthy one!

I stepped on a huge garter snake about a month ago (by mistake of course)...never seen one that large in this neck o' da woods

Sec 8 next to me is deathly afraid of all these "suburban" creatures.........

We saw an opossum the other night...she scrambled to her porch, and is totally paranoid at night now.
Yesterday she heard about the snakes......."we don't have those in the city!"
"Well, you have rats..."
"Yeah, but we can control them.  I don't like them none, either."
"Ahhh...but the 'nakes are harmless...check out this skin ours left behind!"  <holds up 30" skin>
"Oh my god.  Oh my god.  That's too big.  That's no garter snake!"
"Sure it is.  Last year we had three.  I'm hoping for more this year.  Art told me there used to be about 10 between us a few years back."
"Oh god.  No.  Oh god.  I don't like that."

Squirrel goes on rampage, injures 3
BERLIN (Reuters) - An aggressive squirrel attacked and injured three people in a German town before a 72-year-old pensioner dispatched the rampaging animal with his crutch.

The squirrel first ran into a house in the southern town of Passau, leapt from behind on a 70-year-old woman, and sank its teeth into her hand, a local police spokesman said Thursday.

With the squirrel still hanging from her hand, the woman ran onto the street in panic, where she managed to shake it off.

The animal then entered a building site and jumped on a construction worker, injuring him on the hand and arm, before he managed to fight it off with a measuring pole.

"After that, the squirrel went into the 72-year-old man's garden and massively attacked him on the arms, hand and thigh," the spokesman said. "Then he killed it with his crutch."

The spokesman said experts thought the attack may have been linked to the mating season or because the squirrel was ill.
Only the impossible always happens.

Bonster you may have discovered a way to get rid of undesirable folks. Put a snake or two on their lawn every morning. Start with a Garter snake, then borrow a Boa,and then bring in the heavy artillery a Python and then an Anaconda! If it works you could rent your services out to others.
