Holy cow Tyson! Your post and Ray's from a day or two before bring to mind that old Jim Stafford song, "I don't like spiders and snakes..." :D How's about you all keep your doors shut real tight?!? :)

Tyson,
Since I'm somewhat familiar with the area of the country you live in, I know the axiom holds true...
"Where does a 9" snake spend the night?"
Answer - "Anyplace she damn well pleases!"

:D ;) :p :D
Once again, I urge you to get to work on that Tellico Gap Museum Of Natural History!:D

A new born Dekay is about 3 1/2" long. (I found it here :cool:

In H0 this translates to 26 ft or about 8 meters. Now if you have a swamp landscape on your layout such a baby would be perfect for a BIG Anaconda! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Confucious say - "Girl with skirt up run faster than man with pants down".

I don't care what anyone thinks!!!


**Puts skirt on, lifts skirt and runs!!**


I'm not hanging around to ask that thing if it bites!! :eek:

Oh man - that must have been quite a surprise when you first saw it!!! I checked Ron's link and it turns out those snakes give birth to between 12 and 20 young. Now that would have been really something to see!!!!!

I am glad you did the right thing and returned the expectant mom to her natural habitat! People are far too quick to kill snakes IMO. Good on ya Tyson!

cheers
(nature-lovin' gal)

All I was looking for...

...was a frog to slip down her dress, when she made it very clear! :D

Does the "Viper" still race through town on your layout? That imaginary red-eye of model railroading. The one that got you from bumf&*k to the terminal on time while you were asleep. They have a car called the viper. Now you can at least say you have the competition. Something to really "rail" the car buffs.:eek:

Well, let me be the first to congratulate you on your nest of snakes???

Cigars all around.

Tyson has unwittingly named the "midnight special" that (hand) moves those trains that need changing out, locos, equipment, etc. on my road.

Yes sir, she came like a viper in the night. All we knew the next morning was...

...there was a lot more work to do.

Congrats again Tyson?

Mark

It looks like one of those horror movies being made on you layout Tyson where normal creatures grow way out of scale. Need the directors seat and the camera and make up crew handy.
