      Armadillos are so blind, I once walked up on one in my yard that didn’t know I was there. When it finally noticed me it got spooked. Oddly though the next day I went out in my yard and found the armadillo dead in the same spot so I wonder if it had a heart attack, they don’t have many predators but it was unusual.

Also it was good to see those wee turtles. I found a 22 mm long oval egg by my pond today and I think it must be from a musk turtle or a mud turtle. I’ve never actually seen one of those but I absolutely believe they’re in the pond.

    Some years ago, there was a story in the newspaper about a pine snake in a zoo (Don't know which subspecies.) The staff was concerned because the snake seemed listless and "depressed" (their words.) An X-ray confirmed the unfortunate little fella had swallowed two small lightbulbs left in the enclosure, apparently having mistaken them for eggs. A couple of the zoo's vets realized the snake was going to die anyway, so they decided to do surgery to remove the bulbs. Long story short, the surgery was successful and the snake returned to his normal happy self.

Neither end was visible, they were in the grass on each side. The thing was huge. Probably feeding on prairie dogs in the area.
