Thanks John, from everyone !!!!!
Kinda quiet in here...everyone must be busy....trying to get the ambition to finish hooking up my 6-cd player to the dash stereo...lol...and then tackle the rest of my to do list on the van...but it is getting hot here as well...I know if I turn on the a/c the things I want to get done will never get done...lol...
Dang baby snakes keep finding a way into the basement...this is the second one I've killed and it sure didn't look like a garter snake! Sure hope it didn't bite one of the cats cuz they were sure playing with it!
It's not the back yard I'm concerned with...*lol* but thanks for the link!There are 17 species and sub-species of snakes that inhabit South Dakota. If I lived there, learning to identify all 17 at a glance would be very high on my To Do list.
At the very least, I'd learn to identify the one and only venomous snake in South Dakota, the Prairie Rattlesnake. Hint: It's a light brown or greenish prairie color, got the classic, distinctive triangle-shaped head that none of the others have, and it's got a rattle on the end of its tail which none of the others have.
Prairie Rattlesnake ~ Crotalus viridis viridis
I don't know if they do it every year, but I remember reading a story about the Rattlesnake Hunt at Mobridge a few years ago. A dozen men went out rattlesnake hunting, and in one afternoon they came back with 400 of them. Mobridge is practically in your back yard, isn't it? LOL
Now that is FUNNY! *lol*
I'm parked next to unit 291 here in El Paso. He told me last night that he was in Laredo a couple weeks ago. He found and killed a 5-1/2' rattler under his Sprinter. See...another problem with Sprinters!!
I have no way of knowing if his story was true....but just in case you don't think they exist :thumbup:Ya sure it wasn't Crocodile Dundee you were talking to???...lol...
