We also have monster possums. But I can accept them. They would go after torts/turtles...but the are more bluffers when they display...they don’t carry rabies and they eat ticks. We also have to worry about rats, owls and hawks getting at our animals. If you search my posts...look for “always assume there are vigilant parties watching your torts”. You can see a photo of a huge owl...in the daytime no less...watching my small Sulcatas...but couldn’t figure out how to penetrate their enclosureMy sister moved to Broomfield, then Boulder in the early 70's....... the problem animals were bears & cougars......be happy Jan!
Most folks really have no idea how dangerous a racoon CAN be. They have nearly 3" front claws and can lay a dogs face on the ground. They are not fast but are amazingly quick. We used to catch them as kids in our Havahart traps.....and yes, they haul when the end of the trap is opened. We had pete and charlie with their bb guns trained on the cage when we let the 1st one go because we were afraid it would turn to fight.....we needn't have worried LMAO.....
Yeah, I've been trying to kid myself for a few weeks about using that screen door, you guys are right of course....the latch can be "proofed" but that screen sure can't......hmmmm
