Saturday Morning, I put down a vapor barrier in our new addition crawlspace.

Sunday morning, while running wire, I found out if your flashlight battery dies and you stop moving, critters will start moving, and that the Five-Lined Skink has absolutely NO traction on 6 mil plastic, and sounds like a much bigger critter when it tries to run.

Trivial information now, but in the dark, in a confined space, when you hear the "scritching" and something runs up your coveralls, its very relevant.
 
or anal seepage
 
i keep the crawl space at 50% humidity or less and in my mind I keep thinking I am controlling the critters by keeping them out...some day, I am sure I will be in for a surprise.
 
I saw a coon this morning about 11 by the pond. Ran across the road in front of my car. It then just sat there at the edge of the brush about 5 ft from me. The did a roll I to the brush I kind of wonder it it was rabbit.

You need to have that happen at the turn point, of a 1/2 mile penetration underwater cave dive in Florida.
That made me draw up a bit. Had to come out with a backup light. It be dark. ;)

I used to be a lot more settled in situations like that with an M-16 and a pouch full of grenades.

I'm not the best swimmer so that would have been a major pucker event.

I'm more of a sink and walk on the bottom type.

You would be surprised what size mam can fit through a brick vent in a situation like that

Back in my younger and WAY WAY skinnier days I went through one when a copperhead fell across my shoulder while hanging a trunk line for HVAC.

Bot sure if the poop lubed that hole or not but I damned sure went through it
 
Yesterday, I met what I believe to be a common ground skink. Thankfully, I had moved auxiliary lighting into the crawlspace, so our chance acquaintance was much more pleasant then his cousin's.

After I introduced him to the outside, I went back and checked every square foot of the crawlspace for openings and skinks.

I hope I am done with them, in my crawlspace at least.
