Oh no - I would have to move out - I don't think I could live in a house with a snake. We had a mouse in the kitchen one time and I stayed in the bedroom all day till my husband came home from work and caught it!!! I think there is something wrong with me - I literally get so scared of snakes, mice, rats - I like goldfish, puppies, and kitties!!
Oh my goodness - look at the size of that thing - Yikes I don't know how anyone can hold it - they look so slimy to me!I have some beautiful cottonmouth water moccasins in the beaver ponds below my lake. Only juveniles have came into the yard, but 2 of my dogs have been bitten. I killed the culprit and the dogs are fine now.
I've seen em this big at the shallow end of the pond. This guy looks like " Leonard, Take the d... picture!!!"
I saw a mouse in our old house....sat on the kitchen counter all day till hubby came home. He made fun of me...asks how I could have huge dogs that could rip my throat open but be afraid of one tiny thing more afraid of me than I am of it. Simple...I've bribed the dogs with treats, that mouseis a wild card...lmaooooo
I hate poison ivy and oak!! One summer I had both at the same time
Normally I would go and get a shot to clear it up it a couple days (even though I HATE needles!), but the campus doctors office (I had insurance through the college cause I was a student so that is where I went to the doctor at) quit giving the shots (they went back to the shots later on because they realized it was stupid to not) and instead perscribed prednisone a steroid. I had poison ivy and oak for almost 3 months, because I kept getting into it.( My husband which was my boyfriend at the time worked in the oil field and was clearing trees that summer and I found out I was getting it from handling his clothes...) I gained alot of weight from taking the steroids for almost 3 months, and it took me a bit to lose it. I never weighed anymore than 115 pounds and I weighed 130 some pounds before I stopped taking it. The part that made me the maddest was I exercised everyday and walked about 2 and a half miles a day Monday through Friday, and I was a poor college student that did not eat much! Lol I finally got mad one day and bleached all of the ivy and oak and it went away. I never took steroid medication again! LolA summer or two ago I had poison oak and chiggers at the same time....I cried....lol

Wow! That is a big snake! Beautiful though! He reminds me of the huge black snake I had living near my coup a couple summers ago that I named Black Daddy! Lol Black Daddy was close to 6ft long, and he was eating 3 to 4 eggs a day. I knew something was stealing eggs, and I walked into the coup and there was this huge snake curled all around the floor a hair from my feet. Of course at first I jumped, because I never expected something so big! Lol He was beautiful!I have some beautiful cottonmouth water moccasins in the beaver ponds below my lake. Only juveniles have came into the yard, but 2 of my dogs have been bitten. I killed the culprit and the dogs are fine now.

Snakes are actually not slimy at all
They are very soft and dry to the touch (if they are not in water). They are actually soft kind of like silk.
I got into poison ivy one time as a kid. Went home and took a bath. Somehow, the bath made it spread to EVERYWHERE! And when I say everywhere, just use your imagination.I hate poison ovy and oak!! One summer I had both at the same time

I did scream, because it scared the crap out of me! I was singing and kind of beebopping around all happy and walked right up on it! Lol
Hot water makes it spread! Lol You want to use cool water and soap if you ever get into it. I had chiggers all over my .... and my underwear line the first time I ever got into chiggers, because I was painting the house in a bikini and did not know they were living in or around a lilac bush behind the house. They are gone now from the lilac bush now, but they were bad when we first bought our house!
A few years ago I cut down a dead dogwood killed by poison ivy. I thought it was dormant in the winter but I looked worse than this guy the next day. Had to get shots but it was a lot of fun for everybody.... but meI hate poison ovy and oak!! One summer I had both at the same time

Yep. ouch
I don't know if I got it from wiping sweat from my face while pulling it from the tree or when I burned it in the yard. You can get infected from the smoke. The tree was still alive, but it died the next spring after I removed the ivy that had been growing on it for years.- Status
