So now you only have 1 chick left-is that right?

I know we had a snake or lizard get in the house from the way the dog was acting. One time I actually went to the trouble to pull stuff out and see why she was going crazy-found a snake skin, but the snake was gone by the time I got everything moved.

Next time it was a lizard. It ran out between the sliding glass doors while I was moving stuff.

This time I just shrugged and ignored her. They eventually go back outside, and she can’t get to them, and they don’t come out while she is pacing and barking which she does as soon as they move. It’s just not worth the effort to get back to where they go.

Yes, just 1 left.

In Oregon, we twice found large, black scorpions in the kitchen sink. Not native; and I had custom fitted & customised the cabinetry myself, after having built the house, so I don’t know where they came from, or how; but the garbage disposer ate them. We also found a third one on our bed upstairs. All we could figure was that some eggs got brought back in/on something we bought on a Caribbean cruise.

In So-Cal, we would periodically get a tarantula skittering across the floor.

But this is the first time anywhere we have had a snake—and a large one at that— in a house. OTOH, we do have a family of tiger salamanders living in the sub-basement, where the water tanks are.
