What's with all the wild animals running around in the suburbs lately. I saw a opossum tonight while coming home, raccoons crawling along the fence line, nutria rats on the golf course, and now they say rabid bats have been found in the area. I also hear Katy has alligators, and I'm sure we do too, I just haven't seen any. The bayous run all through this area, so I guess it's only natural. But why don't they just stay close to the bayous, and not come to the neighborhoods, I could never live in the boonies! I've lived in the suburbs for 14 years now, and until recently, I have never noticed as many wild varmints as we have now. I always heard Houston didn't really have snakes, because of our weather and soil. Houston...we have snakes, I was jogging the other day on the streets in our neighborhood, (now I'm not talking the wilderness here, I mean, manicured, fenced yards, golf course, swimming pool, gated, tennis and basketball court kind of community) where there is always activity of some sort. I'm running along, and happen to look down, and there was a dead, thank goodness, snake in the road. When I got home I called the most reliable snake source I knew of course, my 11 year old nephew "the Boy Scout".
If anyone would know he would. I said it didn't have a skinny head, it was like a flat diamond shape. Was it poisonous, I asked? He so matter of factly said, gotta see the color of the snake, can't just go by the head. What there's a possibility we have poisonous snakes lurking in the flower beds, where I'm always sticking my arm in to pull a straggling weed, not thinking twice? Are you sure? Yep, gotta go by the coloring. So I looked them up on line, and this is what I found. I didn't see a rattler, which could have been gone, so if it wasn't a rattlesnake I think it was a Diamondback Water Snake. These are common to Harris and Galveston County. They like to be in yards that have water sprinklers, so they always have a water source.
