What is burrowing in my backyard?

Indifferent

We have a few holes in our backyard like this one.  The opening is about the size of a nickel.  Any ideas?

Re: What is burrowing in my backyard?

  • Wow, that's crazy!  I'm not sure, I know in the summer or winter when the surface gets dried out or frozen earthworms and grub worms dig deeper into the soil, therefore the pests that prey on them like moles, ground squirrels and stuff will burrow into the soil to go after them and alot will stay under ground.  I guess it could be a snake hole too, but it looks like some creature really worked to get that hole made!
  • My first thought was snake. ??Indifferent??

    But maybe a mole? ?Let us know if you find out! ?Strange!?

  • A snake maybe?  You could have a nest of garden snakes, I dug up a nest of them once and about had a heart attack

    Trying to think of what else it could be

    We have these too in the front and back yard!  I've been trying to figure out what they are.  I also noticed that we have "tunnels" underneath our grass.  These tunnels caused raised areas throughout our yard. You might want to look or feel for soft areas in your yard too.

    Our front yard has moles (the tunnels), our back yard has these holes also but no raised areas, so I'm clueless. 

  • I'm from west texas, and that looks like a prairie dog hole to me (cute little things but very destructive!) don't worry, it's NOT a snake for sure.
