How you figure that?
Because I don't know shite lol.
Honestly i just figured small hole = snake. Prior to this summer the hole has been MUCH smaller with no other visible ground disturbance.
If it is a chipmunk, what should I do about it?

My dogs killed a couple and then I trapped the last one with a rat trap and peanut butter. Felt kind of bad about it but they were causing erosion under my slab.

quote:This lends me to believe it is a vole or vole colony. Moles leave mounds of dirt around the hole. Gophers leave a mound of dirt covering their hole. Armadillos don’t make tunnels, just holes and there’s usually 5+ holes where they are searching for grubs 3 inches below the surface.
Prior to this summer the hole has been MUCH smaller with no other visible ground disturbance.
To determine if it’s an active vole tunnel system, put an apple slice on the hole and cover it with a bucket so other rodents/animals can’t get to it. Check back in a few days and if it’s gone, you have an active vole. You decide what to do next.
