I've been clearing all the leaves from under the bushes along the fence line. I'd rather water a little more than walk up on a slitherkadee taking a siesta under a shrub. I threaded some sprinkler hoses thru a bed, and I swear I think there's a snake there every time I walk up on those striped hoses! Last night, I read on DG that Moodene killed a 62" water moccasin that had just laid eggs "somewhere." Her worker found a hole and smashed the 15 eggs...... And I went to sleep trying to visualize a 62" snake!!!!
