Love our snakes!!! Here in Trail we have a lovely selection of Gopher, Ring-necked, North Western Rattler, Garter, Red Racer...and maybe Western Boa. All of ours do their job and our kitties do not molest them. We also love our very friendly Fence Swifts, Blue tailed Skinks and Alligator lizards...All are welcome...In our garden we enjoy and watch our reptiles and amphibians...this is what our garden has become...a small sanctuary of all creatures...with the exception of california Ground Squirrels!! These guys have been more destructive than any of our deer!!! I think gardens should always encourage our wildlings....as habitat for all species becomes more difficult...Birds are so important...so ALL poisons...and I mean ALL poisons are NOT allowed on our wild property...and I am aghast at the poisons that are still being allowed. MOST pests can be controlled by Nature's BALANCE...too many people... less and less wildlife Happy Tuesday..No rain last night, alas..Leigh Blake , Trail Oregon On Mon, Aug 21, 2023 at 8:00 PM Robin Hansen via pbs < pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: > I've seen several snakes this year, unlike previous years, babies and > adults.
