They're out and they're hard to see

Yes Sir! It is that time of year! Stay safe out there.

Where about do you live in Midlothian? I have yet to see one in the 7 years I've been here.

I actually live in Ovilla, have a Midlothian mailing address. Backyard backs up to the big creek
that runs through town. I've been here 20 years, never saw any snakes for 1st 10 years, then the
copperheads showed up. Two people in the neighborhood have been bitten and my dog died from a
copperhead bite 2 years ago. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they're not around. Be
careful picking up leaves and sticks. They love brushpiles and firewood stacks. I usually kill about
5 copperheads each year.

Good Luck, Be Safe

This morning I went out to my hen houses to get breakfast & found this lovely uninvited 5 foot Texas Rat Snake with an egg 6" down it's throat.
Put him in bucket to get my egg back.
I released him at the back fence line of my back field so he can live on & eat more mice & rats.

I would be hunting down their den site and removing them from the area...for good!

Bank fisherman be careful, watch where you step and where you put your hands.
The wife had me working in the flower beds this weekend. I was down on my knees
raking leaves out from under the shrubs and almost pulled this thing up in my lap.






Be careful and good luck !!
