Dangerous Animals vs Growing Outdoors

Dont even know what to say. Men with money tell us where to go and who is bad. You think you are doing good. Now thinking I should have turned around and looked at the people sending me.
 
Not much danger here..maybe a dangerous trout or two at the lake(g)

Went out to check on things yesterday morning. While walking under a Palo Verde tree a 4 foot red racer snake fell out of the tree right in front of me! He went back up the tree lightning fast. I checked my drawers and went on my way. Something like that will certainly wake one up first thing in the morning.
 
Yeah, I bet that will wake you up. How about your drawers, ? Did you have to go change them or did you just go hippie style, with no drawers ?
I ain't a snake lover either. Lol.
 
Yeah that would wake your heart up. We have blue racers around here. Can get over 7 feet long. They always seem to try and escape by coming straight at you. Scares the shit out of most people. It's funny to watch. Not so funny if it's coming at you.
 
Redwasp, down here we call them BlackRunners, and they will charge right at you too, and scare the dogsh-t out of you too.
I remember when I was a kid, I'd wake up at night ,standing up in the bed, sweating like hell, trying to get away from them basta-ds, bad ,bad nightmares.
I still don't like them charging at me now. We don't see them around here, like we used to though. Super fast snake.
 
I have a rabid uncontrollable "PHOBIA" of snakes. If I see a snake it is a dead snake. My wife tries to reason with me (informing me of what i already know) that some snakes are beneficial eating insects etc. However I completely lose it when I come across one of the bastards. Maybe it is a distant ancestral mammalian fear when we were hunted by pit vipers or somethin like that. Not the larger mammals we are today, but our small rodent like ancestors that we sprang from eons ago. Anyway i have clubbed to death three possibly harmless snakes I discovered on my new property. There are some definitely dangerous snakes in my locale. On one of my daily bike rides I came across a maybe seven foot diamond back rattler in the middle of the road. It was coiled and ready to strike. I stopped my bike well short of it, and looked for anything to pummel it, but finding nothing turned my bike around, and left the road to him. King snake owned his territory.
 
A snake that big could be 30 to 40 years old. It is in its home and should be treated with respect. That snake would not come into your yard and bite you just because you are there. They also can eat 30 - 40 pack rats a year. Ever had a pack rat eat all the wiring in your vehicle?
 
I would kill a diamond back if I was starving. Good food. But they serve a purpose and that is indisputable. But try not to run when a blue racer/blackrunner comes charging straight at you. Lmao
 
You would be getting a kick out of me to, my friend! I usually jump about ten feet straight up whenever I see a snake. Lot's of self control to be anywhere near the things. But I do realize just how much good most of them do for us. Glad not many snakes live at 8,000 feet above see level, Lol!
 
I lived in Texas for a few years, and man, did we have some Rattlers! I have literally put my hand right next to a couple, while working in the garden. While taking first aid courses, we were taught that the number one way to not get bit by a snake, is to not mess with the snake, just leave it be, and most of them won't bother ya.
 
GreenhouseEffect, I worked in Texas, on the drilling rigs a long time, and at night the rattlers, would be attracted by all the vibration, of the rigs, and they would be everywhere, and that ain't no bullsh-t. either.
The old time Company Men, and Toolpushers, told me about them rattlers ,being attracted to vibration. And I damn sure believe them, they came out after night, and were hungry as heck, too !!.
 
It's certainly not going to live that much longer if it habitually lounges in the middle of the road. Not very fit to survive.
