Most of the snakes...Anon, thanks for sympathizing. <BR/><BR/> Most of the snakes around here are garter and black snakes. We do have a few poisonous ones as well. And yes, I have mowed over one before. Talk about freaking out.<BR/><BR/>As for the septic system, I've been here for about six years. I doubt there was much maintenance in general. It's just the way my landlord is. Prior to me was a family who lived here.<BR/><BR/>I don't know whether the purging was a contribution to the problem or not, but I doubt it was helpful.Tiptoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388368645986593755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4699361536242687629.post-87714833597569261632008-04-08T17:48:00.000-04:002008-04-08T17:48:00.000-04:00rough start to the week it sounds like. I have a ...rough start to the week it sounds like. I have a huge black snake that lives in my yard and sometimes he comes up on the porch and startles me when i'm on my way out. They are harmless but i hate that adrenaline rush. And mowing over them would be ack! Good luck witht them. <BR/><BR/>I have worried about the septic system backing up on me too. I guess it just depends 1) how long you've lived there 2) how much you were purging since you've been there 3) when the last routine matinence was. Who knows. I use rid-x once a month. it's kinda expensive but honestly your landlord should pay for it since it ultimatly benefits him and counts as property up keep. <BR/><BR/>Four months is a great start to being purge free. One day at a time. have a great long run and stay strong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
