I was reading to attract garter snakes build a wood pile, and late last fall I created a wood pile near my compost bins and yep, I have about 3 or 4 garter snakes now.
I love that, I'd like to plant more things like that to attract hummingbirds especiallyWe removed all St Augustine grass in the front yard and put in Texas native plants.

Rolly polly as I knew them as a kid are called Pill bugs.I hatched them in Los Angeles and New Jersey to keep the pests level down. But I already have green anoles at the current place, so I am not sure if the praying mantis would become lizard food.
