I get excited we I see a snake of any kind. We have very few of any kind.

Wife and I were on a rural road last year. She was driving. I saw a rattler on the road and told her to move the car up a little. I wanted to see it. She stopped and I got out to walk over to see the snake. She got a little bit excited about that. That’s an understatement. I walked around it and then found a long stick. I used it to kinda sweep the snake off the road where it would be safe.

She thinks I’m nuts but I’ve spent most of my life around them. I really resent the pigs moving in and eating the snakes. We have very few left of any kind.

BTW, I don’t feel that way about water moccasins in my ponds but they are also gone from West Texas.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
