Was this big new mound made by a gopher, mole, etc. outside a rural So(uthern) CA(lifornia) home? It appears yesterday's morning and got bigger this morning. :( Thank you in advance. :) -- "If ants are such busy workers, how come they find time to go to all the picnics?" --Marie Dressler Note: A fixed width font (Courier, Monospace, etc.) is required to see this signature correctly. /\___/\ Ant(Dude) @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) / /\ /\ \ Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net | |o o| | \ _ / If crediting, then use Ant nickname and AQFL URL/link.

Could also easily be a mole or vole.. that picture shows very little for determining what it is that's digging. |

I'd get a game camera or one that is triggered by motion
and set it up to see what comes to or from the hole. It might have been a xxx but now it can be a snake that went in to eat the xxx.

I dunno about snakes, I've never had one show up on the camera. But all sorts of cold objects will trigger it, if big enough. |
