Simple kidney cysts that are causing symptoms or blocking the flow of blood or urine through the kidney may need to be treated using a procedure called sclerotherapy. In sclerotherapy, the doctor punctures the cyst using a long needle inserted through the skin. Ultrasound is used to guide the needle to the cyst.
Note the dirt clods that are also characteristic of a mole. Gophers will not make these kinds of mounds or dirt clods. A burrow system is a vast network of interconnecting tunnels and passages. Tunnels vary in depth from 3 to 30 inches. Moles are active year round and make regular use of their tunnels.
(P. c. affinis) Size: Up to 100, commonly found at 6+ feet. Range in Texas: Only extreme West Texas, Hudspeth and Culberson Counties being its eastern limits. Comments: The Gopher Snake is one of the more common snakes found in Hudspeth County. I mostly find these snakes during daylight (sunrise and dusk) hours but I have also found them at night during the hotter parts of the summer.
