We also have fire ants. I stripped my 1 year old in the front yard a few years back when she stuck both hands in a fire ant bed and they headed up her coat sleeves and down her shirt then into her diaper. Amazingly, she doesn't react like my other daughter and the bites were gone in a few hours. <BR/><BR/>We will soon be moving from the South to the South west and do not look forward to the triantulas! However, we won't miss those darn fire ants, flying roaches, possums (my husband is a veterinary and swears the are the vilest of creatures), cicadas, etc. <BR/><BR/>As for snakes, you catch the non-poisonous ones and scare the mail lady with them. That's what I use to do with my brothers on the farm we grew up on! Oh, the memories. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your memories and laughs with us!Bryce and Candice Blood Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01084069299003825219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794533244189632210.post-59372702294837739892008-01-15T16:06:00.000-05:002008-01-15T16:06:00.000-05:00That really sucks that you can enjoy such beauty.....That really sucks that you can enjoy such beauty...but I do not blame you one bit, i would be indoors too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327991964710241536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794533244189632210.post-15854419240038325962008-01-15T15:39:00.000-05:002008-01-15T15:39:00.000-05:00Remind me to never come visit you there! evil bug...Remind me to never come visit you there! evil bugs and snakes and frogs that sounds like baby chickens cheeping into microphones... aughhh!!!!!<BR/><BR/>I'll take my WA rain, thank you very much.

I woke up panting. I was somehow locked in your back yard and ran into every creature you mentioned. Luckily, my boys have been watching Jungle Book so when I found I couldn't outrun the black panther (not even in my dreams) HE turned out to be nice. <BR/><BR/>Thanks a lot. I don't like creepy creatures.everyday katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16315154839945263291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794533244189632210.post-63476994471708109852008-01-15T13:22:00.000-05:002008-01-15T13:22:00.000-05:00I live in Kentucky and mostly deal with raccoons a...I live in Kentucky and mostly deal with raccoons and possums. I live close to town though, if I drive out to friends' houses, I encounter deer. I have experienced field mice and garden snakes a few times, but nothing like that!

You have me beat in the wildlife area, we live in town and have neighbor cats, dogs, tons of squirrels and surprisingly a few skunks- but nothing really dangerous. I don't think I would go in your backyard either! Now I'm scared- and yet very happy that when I go to FL for SB I am going to the BEACH. The kids are scared of the crabs- this will be interesting.girlymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12713021609857759027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794533244189632210.post-67405889261454888972008-01-15T10:44:00.000-05:002008-01-15T10:44:00.000-05:00When we lived south, the news was always broadcast...When we lived south, the news was always broadcasting a warning about keeping small pets indoors, lest the gators should get them.One Scrappy Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677026364291174835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794533244189632210.post-33491934580678717182008-01-15T08:21:00.000-05:002008-01-15T08:21:00.000-05:00Oh my.

Snakes, urgh!<BR/><BR/>We have squirrels and foxes and they say you're never more then 15' away from a rat so I guess we have those too.

There would be no need to use a hose, as my scream would scare it off. (and probably anything else that dared come within a 30 mile radius of me, until I passed out.)

LOL!<BR/><BR/>Our backyard is relatively simple. I have deer and a beautiful red fox who I think is making a home under our deck. That doesn't sound good but it is better then a snake! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing!Lucillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389051577488829610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794533244189632210.post-12191347283318852322008-01-14T20:36:00.000-05:002008-01-14T20:36:00.000-05:00That video was crazy!!!

That snake is bigger than any I've seen in my yard though - WOW!<BR/><BR/>Hey - thanks for coming over and leaving the well wishes - I am fine - only need to remember about that bra thing the next time I ever have to call 911.

And no, we don't have tarantulas thank goodness!!<BR/><BR/>Dawn- Yeah, we have 2 of the neighbors cats that like to hang out in our back yard. Every once in a while they make a dash for the front door when I leave to take my daughter to school in the morning. I don't mind them so much... I figure they help to chase off some of the snakes.Valariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778600453227616126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794533244189632210.post-38108216417540026972008-01-14T18:49:00.000-05:002008-01-14T18:49:00.000-05:00Well we have our two cats, and occasionally the ne...Well we have our two cats, and occasionally the neighbor's cat and that's about it- not nearly as exciting as black panthers, alligators, and snakes!dawn klingehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10068232686648964979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794533244189632210.post-65047643357359444502008-01-14T18:19:00.000-05:002008-01-14T18:19:00.000-05:00We have rats in our backyard in CA!
