so i was running around in the yard doing stuff--re insulating the line on the ac unit--got the drip pool and all--been a toad or two living there for years now--stepped off the back porch and there was a smaller new to me toad--had a chat with him and went on
a bit later i noticed spike the cat had an interest in something by the crawl space access--i had opened it after the cold to let some fresh air in and then closed it back up, but when the rains started i cracked it a hair--this is about 4 ft total from the ac unit--2 ft eat way off the outside corner--then the crawl hatch and an inside corner where the kitchen was added on
i had something on my mind so i figured to get back to it--well 30 min later the little girl , alice the galactic hound keyed up on the same spot--this time i got right on it and shit oh dear-- a big ass shiny looking thing that was angry--light was bad but i had been spooky all morning and i knew it wasn't a good thing
i suggested it vamoose and went in after the hall cleaner--at 15 ft number 7 will make a tight hole about the size of a beer can--blew the sumbitch in half and my little toad buddy came out, too
figure the thing was too full to strike, which saved the critters
3.5 ft and shrivel up dead after 24 hrs is still bigger than a 3/4 commercial rubber hose--mama cottonmouth--found out that the neighbor has killed 3 pygmy rattlers and 2 cottonmouths in the past 6 or 8 weeks--they are about 75 yards north
tomorrow the weed trimmer and rider are in high gear and low settings, with full regalia --snake chaps and 12 gauge and maybe some war paint
step high wide and go slow--make lots of noise--i want my barefoot yard back
