rep,

Hope you had some EEGEES before you left!

Re: Pepper Spray and Reptiles

Re: Skunk living under the house.
Terry, 3 things I can think of: 1. The rabies thing is real, and can be transmitted as an aerosol (don't have to touch saliva or be bitten) 2. Havahart with a blanket over it might do it. 3.
