My tractor found a snake !

Scorpions are the worst. I have been stung more than once in my own house, and I found one on my bed. I shake my shoes before putting them on, except when I'm feeling brave.

It's like having someone insert a sharp, red-hot wire in you and hold it there.

I once reached for a washcloth in the shower and had a scorpion fall out of it and sting me. Little ******* (illegitimate person).

I have some encouraging news for everyone, as a person who used to keep pet pythons.

A snake can live in your house for a year without water. Doesn't bother them at all.

Sleep soundly, guys.

While in an attached garage one day in Arizona, I found a 3" long shinny bug that was an odd color. I'd never seen a bug like it. It appeared lifeless so I picked it up and went inside the house to asked the home owner what kind of bug it was.

About that time, the bug moved and the owner quickly grabbed a few paper towels, grabbed it out of my hand and squished it to death.

It was a scorpion that was nearly dead from the insecticide that they have professionally sprayed on a regular basis.
