another day, another creature in my back yard
 

so i'm sitting inside on the couch with the patio door open so our cat can come in if it wants and i hear this weird noise. at first i thought it was those cicada bug things, but i go out and check anyway and there i see my damn cat w/ in a few feet of the snake thats rattlin' away. so i yelled at the damn cat and threw what i had in my hand at the snake(a wadded up paper towel) which made the cat jump back and run inside. then i started taking pics.






I thought about putting my new shotgun to good use, but I still felt bad about the tarantula slaying so i called a snake catcher.


pay no attention to my crappy back yard, its still how the previous owners left it, i keep saying i'm gonna get it landscaped...someday.

lol awesome. should have kept it as a pet.:yes:

haha who painted its tail lol jk

FACK i hate where i live

you have such increidble weather..wow i'm amazed. i hate canada..i hate it i hate it i hate it...well the weather...i'm freakin just about freezing my ass off in the mornings...and our town is under HEAVY construction so there is dust every freakin where..grrrrrrrrrrrr

he has snakes and monster spiders trying to eat him though

^don't forget the scorpions. but yeah the weather is dandy.

i would hate canada too:D

Haha...man...you've got some shitty luck with weird creatures, Rob. The spider wouldn't have bothered me, but a rattlesnake is a whole other story. I like snakes...just not the poisonous ones. Props for getting that close while it was in striking position, though.:D

Nice pictures.. I would have blown it, and the plants to pieces with the shotgun.. :D

Way to go with the self restraint. You have some great pets.:crazy:

why don't you open up a zoo ?

"My Big Backyard, with Rob" This week's adventure: Venemous Animals!
I saw a ground hog in my backyard yesterday...

Man, rocks in the backyard is totally the In thing to do right now... I just moved 2tons of rock earlier in the summer from a backyard that looked just like that, but smaller.

haha look at the snake catcher, he don't give a shit he's in shorts and a t-shirt.. crazy people

ahahahahahah :D i also get road runners in the yard and a few times over the fence i've seen coyote's, i could film a real life Looney Tunes cartoon!

and steve I wasn't THAT close :D , the zoom helped it look that way though.

Try to catch the RoadRunner!

beep! beep! Thats to awesome man.. We just have deer, birds, squirles, racoons, opossums, and junk like that.

don't forget skunks

Oh yeah.. We have lots of those in this area. A guy I worked with almost got "skunked" here at work when he went out on the back deck for a smoke one evening. He said it started getting dark and he was walking back to the door when he saw the white stripe. He decided to head for the front do instead.:D

ehh, that's nothing. i had to pull one out of my wheel wells. :mad:

bah...the pussy used the zoom on the camera....LOL j/k

ive got gaotrs, panthers, bob ctas, black widows and such around and in my yard at least 5-6 times a week, that is what sucks about living in the sticks

did you get spelling lessons from ben ?
