Now what city boys out there would have messed their pants and screamed

Depends on the snake variety

The ground squirrels burrowing under my hangar at The Tucson Soaring
Club have recently all been eaten by rattlesnakes. I am quite happy
with the arrangement, except the fat and happy snakes can't get out
and curl up round my glider. I relocate them when I can, but
sometimes am forced to speak to them severely.
