I hurried to get the dogs back in the house, and then went back and it was still there. Madame Guillotine they call me, :sneaky:

:thumbsup: Good work! I really have nothing against snakes and all non-venomous ones are left alone as are venomous ones encountered away from the house. But a venomous snake near my house would get the same traetment!

She has killed a pygmy rattler (was curled up on her window sill) and a coral snake ( those are BAD MFs). Chipped the hell out of the driveway killing one of 'em. Then she goes and gets in the car and drives over them to boot. Those suckers are beyond dead when she's done with 'em. :rofl:

I did check yesterday to make sure that the snake I killed this am was venomous and not a good guy. I have alot of toads around and have no desire to lose any of them. The toads eat the bugs and that's fine with me. I get a kick out of the little tiny green frogs that suction themselves to the windows and eat the bugs. :)

That is so cute :)

We have lots of toads and frogs in our garden; the cats have learned that they are not good food morsels :rofl:

Not seen any scary critters like snakes here. In fact, we have a family of baby bunnies running around our front garden. And we have hummingbirds nesting in our trees. Now that I can cope with :thumbsup:
