Normal sized gopher.

These extremely destructive rodents are capable of damaging pools and homes, biting and spreading diseases. Microbials, parasites and fleas are common. All carry tapeworm. Never handle or allow pets to dig after or eat, as tapeworm is easily spread.

This male gopher and his mate have lived under this large swimming pool for some time. They caused cracking in the deck and wall, damaged electrical wires at the same spot where both were killed. Gophers can easily locate pools by following pipes and wires.

This is the second of the two "gifts" found in the tunnel system of a male. Without any females, he is resorting to "gifts".

These are incredibly rare and most have never seen these before.

gopher colors

For the record, pocket gophers come in many colors, a single color, banded, spots, stripes, etc. In Mexico, some were black with orange spots, others white with multicolor spots. So when you read anything about gophers and you read they only come in browns, you'll know what you're dealing with.
