Oh yeah, I almost forgot, these guys show up once in a while too. This is a Glass Snake, which isn't really a snake at all, It's A Lizard!
This is looking off my front porch. Looking west .No deer in my area. I see Bobcats,coyotes, jack rabbits,bunny rabbits,squirrels ,rats ,mice,lizards and snakes
I so miss the Mojave Desert. I grew up playing in it most weekends.
Whoa…. that’s a game changer! Is she still living in the same house with you now?Two weeks ago, while I was working in California, my Wife called me in extreme panic. She was sweeping the porch and a rattler got between her and the door. The next day she was in the bathroom and a tarantula paid a visit.
Things went downhill from there.

Great question- she moved out the same day, went to live with her cousin 200 miles north, until I could return home and find us a replacement home to rent. Was not a good situation, and on top of that I had paid the rent in advance, so was a costly situation.Whoa…. that’s a game changer! Is she still living in the same house with you now?
My wife would’ve been the exact same way! Out the door and far away. I’m not sure how soundly I could sleep after seeing those two guys either so chances are, I might’ve left with her.Great question- she moved out the same day, went to live with her cousin 200 miles north, until I could return home and find us a replacement home to rent.

I don't fault my Wife. The home we rented was owned by a well-off elderly woman. She simply didn't care to "pest reduce" the home. The home has a flat roof. The HVAC routes in the space between the rook and ceiling. The ceiling vents were full of insulation. This suggests pests had torn through the duct work between the roof and the ceiling and had seamless access to the interior of the home. Doing reading, some articles pointed to a tarantula nest in the area between the roof and the ceiling.
Was not a fun event. I had to return to the home and pack everything up myself and move the items to our new rental home. Funny, with certain actions, venomous snakes and spiders are not likely to be a issue. And I didn't mention the numerous scorpions I found in the home....
The funniest part of it all, my Wife hasn't driven by herself over 10 miles one way in decades. Spiders and snakes changed my Wife's desire to drive away from home....
