I chased 4 jakes and 2 hens today and got within 5 yards or so. Cool.
I did succeed however, in bringing a little bat home to my critters. We love wild stuff. I caught this one hanging low from a customer's porch. It bites kind of hard though.

If you got bit by a bat, you better save it. They are one of the most common vectors for rabies, you know?
Good hunting. LB

You want me to go ahead and schedule appointments for your rabies shots!! ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
A couple of weeks ago we had several dozen bats hanging on the side of the chimney and right next to the house. I was worried the attic might be full of them. Dang things can fit into some tight spots. After some checking, I found that they couldn't get in the house. That was the last I saw of them too.

Leonard's right. Just this week, four brown bats in a town east of me were confirmed to have rabies. Seven people that have been in contact with them have begun the series of shots.

you better have that bat checked out just saliva in an open wound is good for a case of rabies.by the time you feel the symptoms, its too late.

Too Cool, Danny! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

THAT'S what I was afraid of! You got it Danny, and there's no cure other than a stake through the heart. But, look on the bright side...immortality?
Good hunting. LB
edit: seriously, bats are nothing to play with, regardless.

Danny, save it for Halloween. Just tie a string around its leg and the other end to the porch light. That way it can catch bugs and be a decoration at the same time. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

It just dawned on me, Danny. Your daughter sure looks like her mom. Spitting image. LB

And she thanks God for that every day. LOL Loco - you're too funny. Seriously, I trust and hope you didn't get nipped by him.

Hey Loco
The fur looks good how much bat pelts going for in Co.
Posted by Locohead (Member # 15) on September 18, 2007, 08:38 PM:
No nippage.

That's too funny Danny.
What ever happened to that double tailed lizard ya caught out here?
Posted by NASA (Member # 177) on September 19, 2007, 04:59 PM:
Yeah, tell him the story Danny. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

He was a burrower. I bought him a nice looking partner and they'd go bury themselves. Little Josh' was only a year and a half and would take a stick, and drag it around in the sand to get the lizards up and adam. That's all, no big story, one day I found the poor lizard shredded up a bit thanks to the stick. He went to reptile heaven a couple of days later. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
Actually, NASA caaught the critter and gave it to the kids. It was a great find, I was jealous, Tom was the Hero that day!

That's interesting. I saw a lizard with a split tail a couple months ago, in Peoria, AZ. A first, for me. LB

must of been a female

Shame on us both, Loco. I thought the same thing.

Lounge lizard?
As a kid tearing down an old house we found a bat laying in the rubble after shoving over the chimney. I gave it a shove with my nice new PF Flyers or Keds or whatever I had on at the time and the damned thing bit the rubber toe of the shoe and put about a 1/2" split in it.
I have a whole lot of respect for bat choppers after that incident.
