The snake bin??
You only have snakes around if they have something to eat. Usually I'd rather have the snakes than the mice that would then get into our house. :) |
LOL you made me laugh!!.
I live in the desert with desert around me, we have been in a drought for 10 years. Last year we had 1.64 inches of rain for the entire year.
Everything is coming out of the woodwork to find anything remotely wet or has shade. Record numbers of Gila Monsters, sidewinders, snakes, tarantula's, Mountain lions, Jaguars, bobcats, have been spotted and documented in and around built up areas.
You can be driving down the road and see snakes just booking along or climbing a tree or bush. It is as natural as seeing a spider in your state, or a bird. On any given night, we can go herping and come across several species of snakes which we document. When we have any type of big rain (like we have had this year) we instantly get flooded washes and roads. Then we go out and rescue snakes and or animals that have been caught in bushes, branches etc. 
I am not particularly fond of them, even though we have snakes in the house. But with our heat reaching 110-120 daily, when you step outside your front door, you have to look at the under the door frame, to make sure one is not just hanging around.
SO here is the snake bin, that we use for herping, rescuing, getting neighborhoods snakes removed and picking them up when they are in my garage, under my front door or hanging out in the tree's to avoid the javelinas and Bob cats that wander in from the wash behind my house. 
Rightho, edited to add 4.39ish pm, just caught this guy slinking up next-doors driveway. Fat 3 foot thing.

Snake bin??
You have a SNAKE BIN?!!!
Please tell all. |
It's where she puts her snakes, silly! In the garage next to the combat boots and the Machete. She's formidable! |
I don't leave my combat boots in the garage though, too many scorpions and for snake herping or collecting/skinning it is over the knee leather boots. Spot on about the machete's though, which size would you like? they have their own magnetic strip to hang from =) |

I'm hoping we'll see some of them depicted in people's garages!
This will be fun!
Although... I do wish it were Extended so I could "clean up the garage" without sweating.

=) here is a Javelina and a red (baby Jav) they are basically like flat pigs ( like the cartoons where they are flattened by the steam roller) They live in Squadrons and can have up to 20 family members. I have 2 that regularly come into the front yard and eat the seeds from the trees or forage through the rocks. But we have a several all over the area. They know exactly when trash day is! Docile, until you piss them off, like most animals, then they will attack your other dog and rip them to shreds with their tusks. Exceedingly over protective of their babies. 
Here is a common King snake down the road and up the hill from us. Good nope ropes and people who know, let them stay in their gardens as they eat rattlers. My son is 6 foot 6 btw lol 
Somewhere I do have a folder of snakes in tree branches, bushes from last year, fairly uncommon for rattlers (most nope ropes in fact) to be that high, but they where/are after birds, as the drought made literally nothing on the desert floor and it was sooooooooo hot (15-120), everything where in their underground homes.
