i think i mentioned it before , maybe spray foam the spaces between the rock wall
You have, thanks, I have no way to do it now, plants need to removed, stuff groomed back. I can do nothing for the next xx weeks, And it will be one huge task, have other huge tasks that need to be done first.

And I have a lot of rocks, the entire slope has stacked rocks, the stream bed, rocks laid here and there and the big, lil and loop ponds all have rocks. Easier for me right now, keep trapping.

Well, this is definitely keeping me on the edge of my seat, waiting for the big one! All these little entree courses have piqued my appetite to finally see fatty make it into the trap.

Lol we were cheering it on, totally loss track of the movie we were watching, total snake focus!

We have left the one cam in full TV screen mode, so just glance see if a snake is wandering by.20220921_082141.jpg

Need to put fresh cod in, it got stinky and sort of falling apart.
The real eggs rot ewwww stink if they break.

I release the fish and tads daily, that wander into the traps.

A "newborn" :oops:
Yeah sucks, how many did she have? average 8 to 15. But can have up to 60.

I now have 4 traps I ordered one got sent two. Two in the pond right now, but tiny can get out easily. Not as fat as a pencil.
