Yes net it like she said. I have that netting that you buy for fruits and vegies to keep birds off. Last year I caught two snakes in it. It works like Chinese hand cuffs ( the little straw tubes you can get at fairs and stuff) they get in but can not get out. My mom caught a couple of cotton mouths in hers. One of the ones I caught was a large brown water snake no venom but they have a very bad attitude. Now if I go out and smell that musky mixed with mothball sent you better believe I start looking for a snake.
Sav it is such fun and the people are great. I got that little guy from Carrie as well as the others pictured, well he is not very little I would say he is 15 inches or so We plan to go back next year hope to see you there.
Kim you got some great shots, the Asagi you posted looks like and is about the same size as the one I had to leave in Louisville. I will go back to get her next week. Now I have got to find someone to do away with the extra post that I done. My computer kept freezing up and it would not show them posted, now today I see them.

Okay, I know on my other forum we do the gifts sorta like secret Santa, you swap with one person but don't know whow till you get your gift, same with the ornament. The cards you swap with all that sign up. That way you don't have to buy or do cards for the ones that don't sign up. It is such fun exp. the cards.Plus addys are not posted only the one in charge see's them and the person that gets signed up with them.
I have had alot going on that I will fill you all in on later. I just wanted to let you all know I have missed you and its great to see you all. I have found out that my daughter is going to have a girl, alot has went home and she is back home with us and doing great. Here are the pics. of the ultrasound.
Thanks I had one one time and this thing lasted for 6 weeks, I could not lay down I had to sleep what little I could sitting up. I would cry it made it worse, you could not even touch my head it was like I was bruised. I was put in the hospital twice. The second time they were giving me morphine, amatriptaline (check spelling) and phemabarbatol (spelling agian) and several other pills that after about 4 days finally got rid of it and at that moment when that headache left I decided that my Dr. was an angel
I use the Zomig, they tried Maxalt but it did not get the job done, then they gave me Imitrex and I thought they killed me. Hubby takes the Imitrex, he said it is better than my Zomig for him.
Thanks ever one. livetogarden he is not my only one , I have a yellow lab and I had a Pomeranian named Fefe that I had for a little better than 10 tears and she died a few weeks ago it was just quite around here and I know I can never replace her but I still wanted to get another small dog. I looked at what was supposed to be a Pomeranian in Atlanta Sunday and was going to buy him until I seen him, she told me they could not let his papers go with him for that price but when I seen him I knew why the papers could not go with him. He was 5 months and well over ten pounds he was cute but not purebreed. When I got home I had an email about Tango so we went to southern Alabama Monday and it was love at first sight. I got him from a pastor and his wife and they had to many for living on the Parsonage. Then they showed me the papers and I seen that his first name is Lexis and inew it was ment to be since that is my cats name. Kim, Fefe was a little hard to potty train so it must be a girl thing, it took me a while. I was worried that he might have an accident when we got him here with it being new but he hasn't. Plus I found out Yorkies don't shed that is another plus.
I have one, the only time you can see him really good is when he has his head out of the water or if he moves his fin a certain way you can see a little white. His name is Charlie as you can see he is about 16-18 inches.
