    Wow, most people call every benign kind of snake a copperhead. You not only found the real McCoy, but picked it up!!
    You sure your screen name isn't GRIM Reaper??:eek:

    I appreciate snakes for pest control, but seriously?! Hats off to you

    What if that snake flipped around and lunged out at your body? I would not harm it, but I wouldn't go near it either. :eek:

    Nothing to gain handling a poisonous snake.

    Yeah...I suppose, but still.... A trip to the hospital hoping they have anti-venom does not sound fun to me.

    No braggin rights. I wont mess with a hot snake but if its chill theres no problem.
    Would you believe i think i found nother one last night? It was in boiler room of barn, juvenile. Not happy about this one. Dopey me had to take a picture first and it slithered away before i couldget to it. Not even a good picture!
