“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
We identified the big guy at the time- maybe ______ Northern Snake? Something like that. The small guy, not yet. He left rather quickly. It was around 8” - 9” and I *think* green and yellow.

Been stung by scorpion and disposed of about 10 rattlesnakes in last 4 years. But not nervous...just vigilant. Had bee swarm 2 years ago. Was in front of house first day and then moved to back yard next day. Called local beekeeper who came and got them.
The main thing for me is recognizing good snakes from bad ones and not killing good ones. None of them want to be bothered but I'm not forgiving when they are in my yard unless they are non venomous.. Haven't had to dispose of any this year. Once we got the pack rat population under semi control the less snakes we have. Plus, had a gopher and king snake hanging around last couple of years which also helps with rattlesnakes.
Having coyotes or bobcat in yard makes me nervous. Have to watch what we put in trash to make sure we don't invite them in.

See tarantula this time of year frequently. There are little holes all over yard. They scare me less than the wolf spider.

That would absolutely freak me out!
I hate to seem like I'm one upping everyone, however.....our toads can kill a dog. Our lizards (Gila Monster) can kill a human. Our snakes can kill.
I guess NT has me beat ... no grizzles around here.
We do have bunny rabbits that are harmless!
