Ratsnakes in Brownsville, today.. !!!

RioBravoReptiles Sep 20, 2008 03:27 PM

.. I was working again down by the Rio Grande and found a big pile of OSB (oriented strand board). It was rotten and nearly composted after the big rains we've had. I tore it up and found 15 scrub rats!.. That's outrageous trash-flipping results for Brownsville in any weather and especially for September!
.
Here's some photos of me (hamming it up) putting them back on the rebuilt pile..

The pile also yielded many chirping frogs and narrow-mouth toads, plus about a buzillion scorpions. See the whole series in a (hilarious) slideshow.. at this link:

Fun stuff..
