I was just out working in my flower beds when I realized I was standing in a snake pit. Snakes everywhere! All sizes, from a 1 to 5 feet long. It must be breeding season. There must have been a hundred snakes all hiding within a 6 foot radious. I've never seen anything like that before, so I pulled up a lawn chair and watched the show. I sat there for half an hour before the sheer number of them sort of, well, creeped me. I like snakes, but, wow. The more I looked, the more I saw! It was like they were sort of invisible..but, not. You know what I mean? Take a good look at that top pic and see how many you spot.

I would have shit myself. Plain and simple.
I'd only shit myself if they were bugs.
Anything smaller than my shoe I can handle. lol.
Okay, I finally saw it. One fat long female with 12 small attached males writhing, belly up...breeding. Bleechaaaach! More than I wanted to know.
This is grosser by far: http://www.thedailycrabbie.com/2011/04/barf-inducing-mariah-carey-nick-cannon.html
Well between the snakes and the cats you shouldn't have bugs or rodents. The picture of the that female having a 12-some in my mind GROSS. That is some kinky I didn't need. You are now assured you will always have a yard full. Enjoy mowing. eww.
My parents god-son has been interested in snakes and reptiles since he was young. He owns a reptile store now. (has a giant boa constrictor) Anyway...When he was a teenager he had to take 3 snakes to the vets. He put them in a pillowcase and tied a knot in the top and put it in the backseat of his MOTHERS car. He got to the vet and went to get the pillowcase out of the back. The knot had come undone and the snakes were out. He found 2 of them on the seat and floor, but the third one was missing. These snakes only eat every few days, and he had just fed them that morning. He took the car home and explained the missing snake to his mom. The car was parked and Mike would check the car every day to see if the snake had shown up. After a week and a half Mike went out and there was the snake curled around the steering wheel. Mike wasn't allowed to transport snakes in his mothers car anymore.
are they garter snakes?
Yes, Garter snakes.
Many years ago my son'a boa went missing for nearly 2 months. Finally, while decorating the Christmas tree I reached into a box of Christmas ornaments and there he was. Damn near threw the kid and the snake out of the house.
Every year we find a few snakes under the deck off the bedroom. I think they are harmless garden variety snakes, but I like them better when I don't see them. I wouldn't come outside till fall again if I ran into an entire pit of them...
And just because at the moment I have nobody else to tell --- I SAW A FLOWER TODAY!!!
It's SPRING!!!!
Oh, I saw that Mariah picture. Gross, just really gross. Keep the GD picture in an album in your home. I just don't need to see that shit.
LOL at that story. We always have a bunch here, I'm careful when I mow, I don't want to hurt them. They're benificial and friendly. I now know the huge ones are the females.
Freakin snake was always coming up missing. Came into the kitchen one night and flipped on the light. There he was stretched out on the counter with his GD head all the way down the garbage disposal.
Really tempting.. But I would never hurt any animal on purpose.
But I yelled at the kid for a long, long, time.
That snake and I were always running into each other.
My mother saw a snake by the cellar door one day. The next day it was boarded shut and my father was building a new cellar door on the other side of the house!!
I'd rather have needles stuck in my eyeballs then be anywhere near those snakes!
Hairs are standing up on the back of my neck, YUCK.
Bugs and spiders don't bother me, but snakes are so fast and unpredictable as far as which direction they will go. I lived in Joshua Tree, CA and the sidewinders freaked me the hell out!!!!! AH!
Oh hell no!!!! They may not be poisonous but they can still kill me----heart attack from fear! I live in copperhead country and they were always getting in the house. They stopped coming in after we got Puppy. I thought cats were supposed to keep snakes away. I really think my cats were bringing them in. I did see one carrying a garter snake, but I don't know if they ever tried the copperheads. I was always afraid they would get bit.
Now, I have to admit that I know nothing about snake mating habits, but I find 12 to 1 a little hard to understand. Were they waiting in line? I am going to have to look up snake genitalia.
I'm sorry, but I would have to vote for "dead snake".
As always, Crabbie, you bring that touch of class... Thank you.
I was fine with the snake pictures until the mental image of the fat long female snake breeding...
One of our snakes, the 7 ft female, is always getting out too. She is strong enough that no matter WHAT we put on top of the tank, she can still push up the lid whenever she wants to.
I can usually tell when she's out (without even having to go in Aaron's room to look) because the cat is running around freaking out, LOL. The snake knows she's not "food" and won't bother her, but the cat doesn't KNOW the snake knows that! She usually hides in his closet or one of my boxes of books, but once in awhile we have to really tear the place up to find her. She's so bad! :^)
Umm, hiding in the house..NO! Reminds me of the time someone let my tarantuala out. Slept with the lights on for a week until I found him under the sink.
My best friend's old dodge neon was infested with them one summer. The hadn't driven it all winter and her husband opened the hood to service it and there were hundreds of snakes in the engine. You could see where they slithered in the dirt/oil in the hood. NASTY!!!
