The first snake we saw, not long after we moved in, was a king snake. My older son was 3 or 4 and shouted out “SNAKE”. My husband ignored him… but the shouts continued, so he looked… there, along the back wall of the house (backyard) was a nice sized king snake.
Very cool.
Actually – now that I think about it – we haven’t had any snakes in our yard since the owls moved into the owl box 2 doors up. We’re on our second season of having the owls there.
The tarantula hawk thing sounds very cool to watch.
