Albert, snakes have been voted down at our house. (I’d still like to sneak some in…we need some predators.)

I’ll have to read Sullivan’s book. I’m going to be prepared to be grossed out again. Ick.

no boa? how about a python? my brother had a 6′ burmese python. it rocked.

also, gross. rats! i recently finished Robert Sullivan’s ‘Rats’ book where he studied the life of some NYC rats which led him across the country seeking out rat experts. creepy and fascinating at once. brooklyn’s rats were the heartiest.

Sheryl: Perhaps a few black rat snakes then? Our native constrictors are better adapted to your winters anyway.

Ok – I have to weigh in before my husband goes completely nuts – NO BOA’s!
Rick – milky spore really helps eliminate the Japanese Beetles. We have been getting treated for a couple of years by a professional company and the trees and roses are almost beetle free.

Tuna, I do remember…it’s just so creepy. I took down the feeders near the house…have one about 50 feet out in the yard…I’m afraid I’m gonna have to get rid of that one too. Creepy.

Ugh about the beetles and ash borer. How nuts is that? And yes, of course it goes after your best tree. That kind of stuff makes me want to cry.
