T: There's a whole wall of videos called 'Snakes on a Plane'
DM: Yeah.
T: There's also one called 'Snakes on a Train'
DM: Plane, Train, that's funny.
T: They need to make one called 'Snakes in our House'

We had a little warm spell last week, warm enough to wake the slinky little buggers up. Did I say little? I guess they grew over the winter. This one was a foot and a half, easily, a classic green w/yellow racing stripes, coiled behind the garbage bag. Seemed to have a big cat-caused crimp in its midsection. It was released to the juniper bush.

a teeny tiny grey/brown snake, not much bigger than a worm. pissed me off tho because i was just about to relax after doing dishes, cleaning up, that sort of stuff, and it was one more thing to deal with. flung this one way deep into the yard.
New Count - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 03-09-2007
It is the new year. Shouldn't you be back to the beginning?
don't be silly greg - Drunk Monk - 03-14-2007
Mrs. Dm found 22 and it sounds like it was the same snake as 21. Either that or a huge nest of snake eggs under the house just hatched and soon we'll be knee deep in serpents. Good thing we have a cat to catch them.
And put them on your pillow - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 03-15-2007
Did you see the country fried video where two people got into the sleeping bag with seven rattle snakes? My question is why.

#23 was a foot-and-a-halfer. It tried to crawl under the bookshelf but got stuck so there was only a quarter-sized portion of the midsection sticking out, probably something chunky it ate. Either that, or it was laying eggs. DM had to grab it by the tail and pull it, stretching it like a rubber band, expecting it to snap at any moment. It was removed to the far side of the yard.
Been thinking of removing them to my office area, so they don't crawl back.
Why did the snake cross the road? - The Queen - 04-02-2007
No, seriously - not a joke. Couldn't figure out why this great big snake was in the middle of the street, very slowly, lethargically crossing the road. By great big, I mean about 2.5-3 feet long. Preston, Cuchulain and I were out on the afternoon walk and I was little surprised when the stick in the middle of the street moved when Preston marked it.
I was curious what it was, looked it up and found it at http://www.californiaherps.com/snakes/pages/s.h.virgultea.html#description. And after reading a bit, discovered that apparently lying in the middle of the road is perfectly normal behavior. As is, I would suspect, getting squished by cars.
And Now, the review - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 04-02-2007
I win. I saw it ( And the Queen, natch)
Best Film EVER!!!! If you like the bad guy from Karate Kid 2, you'll like this film. If you like smooth headed Julianna Margulies, you will like this film. If you like snakes biting breasts and snakes biting dicks, you'll love it. If you like the fact they throw out any relationship to reality, this film is going to rock your world. I can't wait to see it again. It was the perfect DOOM film. You should have been watching this on Saturday night.
It lost momentum a hair when the killings subsided, but the initial snake attack was the best thing I've seen on celluloid since Citizen Kane.

i was reading a bedtime story to my kid and the cat came in with that peculiar meow, sort of a muffled mrr-ow sound, which is cat for 'look what i have'. it was a tiny dark snake, maybe four inches long, more like a long worm with scales. it was tossed into the yard unceremoniously.

mrowtp. that's cat talk for 'i've brought you a snake. enjoy.' i had just got my kid to bed (this is a challenging week because she needs to wake up a little earlier to make it to trapeze camp and no one wants to go to bed while there's still a little light out) when i heard our beloved cat. mrowtp. mrowtp. there, in the hallway, a tiny six incher. it was easy to dispose of, flung into the flower bed, except it crapped in the middle of the hallway, surely out of fear of the great mrowtp-ter, and the ants, who really own our house, were all over that snake crap. yuck. then i had to get my kid back to sleep again. grrrrr.
Sleep when it's light? How else? - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 06-19-2007
Tell her to give me a call and I'll explain the realities of working for a living. If I don't get to sleep when it's light, I'm a grumpy cuss in the morning. Well, grumpier.

I forgot to mention there was a welcome home gift when we returned from D-land and Lynch Manor. It was fresh, fortunately, brought just as a reminder not to leave for so long, no doubt. A tiny little squirmer, couldn't have been more than six inches. I've begun to enjoy watching them wriggle over pergo. Snakes can't really get a purchase on pergo, so the wriggle like mad but don't get anywhere. That should be a sell point: pergo = great for snake wrigglin...
