Racoons have no saliva glands. That is why they wash.

Afternoon Thomas,
I think you made the right decision to give those racoons some wake up time !

Thomas,
I haven't found them sleeping, but they regularly haunt my barn. I had a real problem after they found they could get the lid off the garbage cans we keep in there. I had a friend that told me to put some clorox in a pie plate and put it around and on top of the cans. I did, and no more coon problem. They still carouse the top of the barn (and crap in the strangest places up there ) but they leave the garbage cans alone. I figure TRUCE!
I have a SIL in Alabama that feeds about 30-50 every morning. They actually knock on her door if she dosen't have food out for them on time.
