              Not if you're a frog 😃

              It is a viscerally intimidating thing if you don't know your snakes so I get her reaction. I bet you chuckle every time 😃

              Think it, be it.

                Well yes  😃 but you got to know that venomous snakes are very very rare in Austria and none in our area. We once had a 2 metre grass snake lying on the lawn for a whole day trying to get a huge toad three times as big as her head into her mouth… guess who didn't leave the houes the whole day

                                An entire bottle of bug spray. Then I set the back yard on fire.

                                  @Matt what kind of wildlife have you seen around your new home and hiking adventures?  Any special precautions for the snakes and spiders?

                                    Prairie dogs, Coyotes and roadrunners are pretty common. Ravens and crows. Lots of lizards. There are scorpions and rattlesnakes but I haven’t seen any.  I just spray some Home Defense around the perimeter every few months and it seems to keep the bugs out.  That’s the second black widow I’ve seen in the yard. None in the house.

                                      Didn't even think about scorpions.  Are they typically found around homes and how would you control them?  Pest control?

                                        They’re found in yards and in homes.  The spray keeps them out.  I’m sure we’ll get one sooner or later.  The ones we have here are pretty nasty.  Small and unassuming but potent.

                                          Thanks for keeping us updated @Matt . Seems like their flying stage is still a ways off, what do you think?

                                            I think it will be pretty soon.  The nest is so small they won’t fit much longer.  I can see their little beaks poking out looking for food from my chair beneath it when we sit outside.
