Now I can't find any snakes. That bird cleaned me out.
BEWARE
Okay, don't look if you're squeamish!
This timber rattler was lying in the road while DS and I were on our way home. He was face-up & you couldn't see the "yucky" when we first saw it. We stopped at the house to pick up the DC (about a mile away) & came back to take a picture. Evidently, someone ran over it again & flipped it over. 2nd one we've seen this summer. EEK!
Did you save the rattles?
i promised myself I would NOT read this thread, but morbid curiosity got the best of me. Yikes, double yikes, triple yikes. Totally freaked out--going to the living room to watch dr phil.
Be calm.. Think of the poor snake.
Poor snake.
poor vosner, take this thread off your watch list, you don't need nightmares...
so, di dyou get the rattles?
I'd like to see a pic of a timber rattler from the top, so I know how they differ...
Nope, no rattles for me! & DS wouldn't go get them either! We passed by the next day & someone else got them though!
If you tie them to a tight string and rub it with violen bow rosen, it replicates the sound of a live one.
One of the dirty tricks we teenagers used to make people jump.

Poor coyote!
That must be the same bunny that lives around my house! Eats everything.
I have heard that Plano bunnies are mean!
I am supposed to have the meanest vine, a Rangoon Creeper, that something eats all the way to the ground.
Last night, a large pot that weighs about 40 pounds, was removed from my camel's head and was stood upright in the center of the yard about 40 feet. DW thought I had done it, and I knew she hadn't because it is too heavy. Whatever then dug most of the dirt out. I have been debating myself as to whether i want to find what ever did the dastardly deed, or if I should leave it alone. It's getting stranger every day.
trunnels,
My brother just moved from Plano. He bought land in Terrell and built a house on it.
A tornado remodeled his old house in Plano 2 years ago, so the insurance company had to do the unremodeling. Then he sold it to get the the other house in Terrell built.

there Death awaits.... with nasty, pointed teeth!
That picture really got me ROTFLMAO.... especially since it reminded me of that fabulous bit in Monty Python's _The Holy Grail_
"For there Death awaits.... with nasssty, pointed teeth!" "What, that sweet little bunny?" "Don't let him fool you -- that rabbit's a killer!" "All this fuss -- over a bunny?!?? -- I soiled my armor, I was so scared." "Aaaaaaaaaarrggghhh!"
OK, that was doubtless poorly quoted... but it's a classic scene!
critterologist,
And here I thought no one else would remember!! LOL! ☺♪

Saw my first snake on the place in three years! Went out at 10 Pm to get pillows off the line, and couldn't pass my corn/squash patch without looking for squash bugs. Off goes a toad one direction, and a tiny pink 8 inch snake the other, right into my unspread pile of hay mulch! I sure hope they are both eating the squash bugs, as I found NONE! Just hoping the thing was full grown, and not part of a nest in that hay...
