Well the kids asked me to hook up the hose mister, so I grabbed a hose from under the deck, & hooked up the mister. They played in it for a while, drank it a bit, dumped cups of it on themselves. Took a break and turned it off, came back to turn it on again, and… nothing.
Took off the nozzle and found this feller inside.
No, I didn’t chop him up, that’s how he came out (I’m thinking he drowned, then maybe tore while I was unscrewing the cap). I’m guessing he’d made his home inside the hose, & I hooked it up before he was able to make his way out.
So, how common is salmonella among the hose-dwelling garter snake crowd? Any preventative measures?
