Those insects on my property are perfectly healthy for chomper to eat.

I have used the soil from the creek banks in my vivs off and on for years.
I hope to one day live like that. I grew up in the country. Could walk outside my home and be in a swamp. Find copperheads, weaver spiders as big as your fist, wild deer, all kinds of stuff. Of course they had mosquitoes that were the size of small dogs LOL The only downside. Honestly though that was the best part of my childhood and I hope to capture that one day again.

Re: Isn't it cute? What is it?

When I was young I took it for granted, I thought everyone lived this way.

Graduated high school and felt this need to conquer the world, and I must say, I have seen some things in my travels that drove me right back here.

Brasil with all of it's natural wonders, incredible animals and never ending hot weather was beautiful, right up until I realized that there was no "middle class" just rich and poor with the rich people exploiting the poor people..

Europe was nice to see, but they have had industry and civilization so much longer than us, all the waterways are sewers, the population density is too darn thick for me.

Glad I got to see it all, makes me realize just how awesome this place is.

I would say it's a sharp tailed snake.(Contia tenuis/ longicaudae) Just my guess looks like what we have all around the sierra nevada foothills.

Re: Isn't it cute? What is it?

Whatever it was, it was the smallest snake I'd ever seen. I'd like to know if it was full grown or not.
