Evening Y'all.

I am having an open invitation to come to my house and bring your favorite phobia with you. I just opened the garage door and watched a snake take off. It was smallish and grey, wonderful, somewhere is mama, and I have no frigging idea what she is. I mean I don't know weather to grab a shotgun, or an RPG. After cleaning the mess from my pants I see a black widow, Hmmmmmmmmm yeah carb cleaner should do the trick, and it did, especially when I used a lighter. Burn bithc.......
I don't like snakes or spiders

OK, you live in the land of DEADLY snakes and spiders. It makes sense for you to not like them. From what I understand it is illegal to kill a snake down there. Not that it really stops the people from killing a snake or spider.

That's getting the rough end of the pineapple, no one would be getting up early on a Sunday if I ruled the world.

I don's dislike spiders and snakes any more than any other pest. Soiders and snakes actually serve a valuable function. Spiders kill and eat bugs, snakes kill and eat rodents.

Went out and caught a tarantula and put it under the garden shed in my back yard at my parents house, it got rid of a box elder bug infestation that pest control companies couldn't. Sadly when a neighbor killed the tarantula the box elders came back.

Don't have a rodent problem and haven't seen any snakes.

Do have a great horned owl that roosts in the top of my cottonwood tree. I can hear it hooting at night, but have never been able to spot it.

Used to have a couple of huge toads that would sit on the front porch that kept the crickets in check. You know, the crickets that their grubs eat your grass roots and make the the little dirt piles in the yard when they turn into crickets. My next door neighbor, a teacher caught them and took to show her 1st graders. Didn't find out until she come over to tell me the toads didn't survive the 1st graders. Told her I wondered what had happened to Hop and Jump, my pet toads. The cricket population grew very quickly. Leave my porch and garage lights on all night and have noticed some new much smaller toads have finally taken Hop and Jumps place. It's fun to toss small stones and dirt clods in front of them. They eat them then spit em right back out.

What eats ants?

Horney Toads love to eat ants but I have not seen any Horney toads in years.

So G what is it, 29 again?

Happy Birthday.

Morning all. The rain is back or will soon be so testing the 911 is on the back burner for now.

Nothing will eat them, the sharp spines see to that (although it's funny to watch something try)

Oh, and they're often found in urban areas.

This one walk all around our feet while it rooted out ants in the sand. It really didn't give a rats arse that we were there shoving a camera in it's face,

He was to busy looking to stick you with a pointy spine.
