I tried that, and the irish spring soap. They made a nest with the dryer sheets and they ate the soap. I hate mice. Snap traps work okay, but I don't have time to keep checking and resetting them.
Nice. Yeah I can see how mashing peanut butter into the cotton would work well. How's the mouse problem coming along anyway?
Only if they have rattles (all poisonous ones on the west coast have them.) Otherwise they are cool.I'm of the thought process that the only good snake is a dead snake
This is a Mojave rattlesnake. It is very poisonous. He was maybe 6-8" long. A yearling, as he only had one button on his tail so it can't rattle yet. While they are often called a Mojave green because of their green coloring (This one was slightly green) this is incorrect. They can be orange and reddish too.
Yeah I stay outside of striking distance and have never tried, or will try grabbing one with my hand..haha. Got this one with a rake. He was also small I knew I could carry it by the handle and he couldn't get me. If is was an adult we'd have killed it just because we don't need it around the buildings where people are and it would have been tough to catch safely. Now if we find them out hiking or away from the station we leave them be a go around them.
Yes I did mis-speak they are venomous. The thing about Mojave venom is that's it's both a hemo and neuro toxin. Usually it's one or the other, but theirs is both.
