Thanks mate and you want to be there when she lifts herself up like a cobra and you can see her watching you, it's slightly unnerving

Re: Retic in the grass
Ya, you need to cut your grass. I see your big retic and raise you a relatively small (~6-7') Dominican in the grass:
Grass not quite as tall, and offers more cover for the skinny snake, lol. He could easily pass for a stick with his brown colors, your big one us a bit more obvious. Fear factor rather than sealth?

Re: Retic in the grass
You'd be surprised how hard a full grown retic is when coiled up waiting in its natural environment.
I have some photos from a zoo somewhere that I keep meaning to post and they have a killer retic enclosure which ably demonstrates my point.

Lol I just got it cut the other day the length was ridiculous you really would have lost Jenny in it and Daisy would have most definitely disappeared . But then that's the joys of living in a country were it rains more than in the freakin amazon

The only thing that surprises me is that the military hasn't caught onto this in someway and used it to their advantage

Re: Retic in the grass
I hear you about the rain, we've had more than usual this summer. Usually by the end of July the grass is half brown and cooked from lack of water, and doesn't need mowed as often. No such break on the mowing this season, though it did help keep the flowers going as well.
