Fun! I kind of want a possum, they are so good at eating ticks and other critters, but if you google "back yard possum" you just get advice on how to get rid of them :).

I have looked for advice on how to attract these tick eaters but i too have only found that people want to get rid of them. Come stay with us! Eat our ticks!

I want snakes, too! Although I apparently have them in my front bed --- one yard guy freaked out, but I'm all over snakes. More snakes! It's not as if they are rattlesnakes.

Anyway, I think the idea of possums in my back yard is gone as long as I have Jacob the Cat.
