I have a albino Nelson's milk snake, three cats inside, two Australian shepherd puppies in and out they are my shadows when I am home,and soon after travel season the goats. And a large koi pond lol. My wife likes everything but the chickens. She just has not got to liking them yet. She is all for the goats though.
I have a little garden snake living in my yard. He likes my shed and below my deck. I'm afraid he'll like my chicks when I get them. I like that he takes care of the field mice, but I better have a hen house off the ground.
i only have my chooks and my tropical fish, i did have a nanny goat though, fantastic she was, great for keeping the garden down.
