??? So where are the "Lots of rattlesnakes, scorpions"?

See previous post - lvmensch has a lot of time here & is one of the savvy veterans, his info is pragmatic & generally very accurate. He & Buzz123 likely have more time here than just about all the others in this group (I think NLVgal has tenure, too!)

For me, almost 9 years here & never seen a scorpion. Never seen a snake around town either - only one was way out in the open desert, many miles away. Only thing I've seen is a couple black widows - tell-tale sign is they spin their web like they're on LSD - all over the place, not symmetrical. If not for having pets (ferrets), I'd likely have left the black widows alone - they kept me from needing to spray for bugs for a while. The black widows tend to stay away unless you invade their space, but my ferrets are just too curious & playful, kinda like a kitten their whole life.

I've been here a long time, and the intersection of Mohave and Sidewinder Ln is loaded with snakes right by the cobra CB dealer. And of course Snake Ln in the Cottonwood development.

Please don't.

And it would be much more believable in the Cottonmouth development

But don't. We will spend large number of bytes beating off your joke.

Those that have been here a while know these are real street names and developments.

Those who have been here a while recognize a stupid joke and try not put down a newbie.

Who told you that? Ask someone who's been here a while. You could ask me.

And why would I do that? You really claim there is an intersection of Sidewinder and Mojave which has a snake infection?

They don't intersect, just like your "downtown" intersection of Charly and Oakley don't.

Stop. Dumb joke failed and should not have been made because you scare newbys.

And now you make up streets? Charly? Oakley? Really?
