Read the hole by shape & spoil

Shape tells the tenant: a wide, low, half-moon mouth with a packed apron is desert tortoise (protected — leave it); a neat round hole with a fan of loose dirt is rodent; a hole with no spoil pile and a smooth lip may be a snake using someone else's. Never reach a hand into any of them.
