Todd, we have rattlesnakes but they are seldom a problem. I never see any snake but rattlers.

At my place, I have a trailer hose. It's under pinned and I never remove it to go under there. We also get a lot of mice. They are a real problem with chewing holes in the wall and getting into stuff.

The snakes eat mice and I appreciate that. At this time I'm not having a mouse problem. That tells me that a rattlesnake is living under there for the winter.

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.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

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