    pools.. what have you found in your skimmer box?

    we got a new pool put in a month or two back.. we have never had a pool before. the other day we found a legless lizard in the bottom of the pool and then we found a medium sized parrot/lorrikeet in the skimmer box! what is up with that? i have no idea how these poor animals ended up in our pool.. but is that wierd for something like that to happen?

    Hmmm...anything from lizards (bob-tails, geckoes, skinks), snakes, scorpions, mice, birds...to a lime green male G-string and other assorted bits and pieces...

    Skimmer boxes are interesting beasties.
