Hello All-
Worked in the garden this morning putting up a roof over the top. I used recycled 1-1/4" x20 foot PVC pipe. Then 5' wire mesh on top of the PVC, very happy with the results. Came back out this evening to do some more work on the roof and I found a visitor in the garden. Pictures below, also tell me what you thing about the new roof.

Didn't kill him, just made sure he got FAR away from the garden. Don't want to be working on the girls and have my visitor friend resting under her. Thanks for the roof comment, i"m very happy, nice and secure and easy to cover in case of bad weather.

nice 'rattler. he'd be great security ! It probably went right back to the wood pile.
I could just imagine the reaction = hands at the base of the plant, doing some tending.......
I had that happen in florida, but it was a 3ft coral snake. (yes, red touching yellow)
snakes are pretty docile, untill you move quickly.
nice picture

I like the security comments......good stuff.
That was my nightmare, working on the girls, cant see very well, then WHAM, rattlesnake bite. At least a rattler will let you know he's there, but a coral snake, YIKES!

The snake was moved far away from the garden (he was very pissed at me) I invaded his area, he didn't invade mine. We all have a roll here on earth, who am I do decide the snakes faith? I'm just a gardener trying to go through life happy, healthy, and to do the right thing. Who knows, that snake may have just eaten the rat that was going top make my garden his nest.

The Rattlesnake is a Pacific Rattlesnake.
I had one on the property that was 5'-6" long, HUGE ass snake. that one was killed by my neighbor. I wasn't home, and the wife was here alone, the snake was in the corral with the horses. She feaked out, called my red-neck neighbor, he came with a gun and killed him. I would have caught him and moved him like i did the snake in the photo. I guess we are all taught different ways to deal with different issues. I have a fishing pole rigged with twine that i use to catch these suckers.
I'm too old/fat/slow to try to use a stick and my hands any more.
