At night. This one’s now about an inch shorter than it used to be too. We’ve been here almost 23 years, and that entire time I’d seen exactly 3 of them in our yard. Until these last two. We also had dogs the entire time, until we lost our dog 2 and a half weeks ago. Now I’ve seen 2 in the last 8 days. Coincidence?
July 28, 20232 yr Get yourself a possum. They love to eat snakes. Quote Opossums also enjoy eating snakes, and will kill and eat all snakes including poisonous ones. They are immune to the snake venom, and relish copperhead, water moccasins, rattlesnakes, and others.
July 28, 20232 yr We have plenty of Opossums around. They’re slacking off. We also have plenty of other snakes, and I don’t mind them, just these.

July 31, 20232 yr 5 minutes ago, Redden said: Whoa. Timber Rattlesnake? Yep - he coiled up and started rattling when I pulled next to him. I counted ten rattles on his tail, so it's likely it was at least 3-4 years old.
July 31, 20232 yr That thing is a beast, but I'd almost, ALMOST, rather have them around as they'll at least give you a warning. Of course, if you don't heed the warning, you're going to pay a steeper price then if you get bitten by a copperhead.
