I have had a snake in my little garden pond these past couple of weeks. I did not see him last night, so I am hoping he has moved on. He's probably just a garter or ribbon snake, but still! I love frogs and had a pair, Leo and Lilly, living in my garden pond. Since the snake moved in, I have not seen them. Lucky for them we have a large retention pond just a few feet away so at least they had someplace to move to. Lizards used to bother me when I first moved in here, but the cats have gotten me used to them. They bring them in the house to play with! The biggest cat, Bosco, brings them into the bathtub to play with. They can't get away from him in there! I have learned to keep the plug in the tub. The littlest cat, Remington, brings them in the house and starts meowing until I notice he has a lizard. He then lets it go, catches it by trapping it under his paw and sits and waits for me to take it back outside!! LOL
