You aren't gonna believe this!!

Tis mating season for skunks, so it could be that your skunk merely sprayed to ward off a male until she was in full heat. They will do that when they are not "in the mood" for a mating.

That's why you are seeing more skunks killed on the road right now...lots of skunk movement going on.

That's even a worse thought...2 skunks under the kitchen

I could never live anywhere where another snake has to eat the copperheads.

I hadn't planned it this way. Seriously!!

When we moved here, in 2010, DH at that time claims.."I haven't even seen a snake in the 15 years I have lived in SC!".
THAT....proved to be an inaccurate statement. Turns out, he can't see his nose in front of his face. Literally!
I stopped counting at 12. Snakes. Not years.

I catch them to identify them. Especially since his whole intention was to isolate me. Out here in the boonies. My closest neighbor is 2 acres to the north. I carry the cellphone with me at all times.

And, I am a full fledged city slicker woman....buses, taxis, skyscrapers. Think...."Green Acres"...although, I am no where near as bad as the Mrs. in that show.

Lisa: When you married me you knew that I couldn't cook, I couldn't sew, and I couldn't keep house. All I could do was talk Hungarian and do imitations of Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Oliver: Who?

I once found a snake in middle of kitchen floor. There was no way it was getting away. I beat it with a broom then swept out door. I started eating Valium washing it down with vodka. I called the Bronx zoo looking to buy a mongoose. They don't sell their animals

I wonder if mothballs thrown here and there around the area, may act a deterrent? Might also help with the smell..if you don't mind camphor.

BTDT; mothballs. As there is NO vapor barrier under the floorboards, as well as NO insulation..... when I did that for the snakes, back in 2011...all it accomplished was fuming me out of the house.

So are you moving back to the city? Or to another place in the country?

 

[Just-Moxie]

I am looking for something in the country, not too far away. I have chickens, and 4 cats.

Oh, NY!!!! The stage surely lost a great comic when you opted to groom pets for a living!

Finding a snake in my house was my biggest fear.
