Went into my store room where I keep my fishing gear was going to work on my tackle and I see something move across the floor. I thought it might have been a mouse and I move my tackle box and what do I see? A stone crab. Was able to pick it up and take it out and put it in the canal. Later on I went out and I was putting bird seed in my bird feeders and some suet in a holder and I saw one of these guys.

I'll see your Garter snake, and raise you a Mole!
This was the gift my cat left me the other morning. (At least it wasn't a humming bird, which she has left me more than once before!]

I'll go ALL IN against your crab, snakes and mole with an AC compressor (on the roof of our town homes btw) that was clattering like the fan motor bearings were about to let go...
Turns out a RAT carcass (on the roof mind you) stuck in the vent louvers skull was slapping on the fan blades!

NO I DON'T HAVE PICS Shocked

This is what I used in Flour Bluff, for, well, uh, Bluff Rats:

Victor even went to that design:

Thanks RXFire! Those look like they would work way better than traditional

Also, must be garter snake mating/birthing season, neighbor has two of them in his house, somewhere behind the floor trim now, must have got in through the doggie door..

A little while back I caught this big Flour Bluff family of 7 sneaking around my backyard.

Had a similar 'family' in the backyard a month or so ago, and over the course of a week, the dog made short work of them (despite my best attempts to relocate the live ones that he left in the house). LA Catahoula's are pretty good hunters. Cool

Hey CS it sounds like your animals don't like to share your yard with anyone else. My yard is user friendly. A grackle on one side of the feeder and a squirrel on the other side sharing a meal.
