    It did produce a musk when i picked it up. I was sifting gravel and threw a shovel full into the wheelbarrow and he slithered out. Thanks for the link Erik B

    They are super venomous, but their teeth dont break humans skin to get in the blood stream, way too short!

    It’s definitely not a copperhead. Looks like a juvenile milk snake.

    I’m screaming like a girl right now. I have yet to encounter a snake in my wood hoarding days, but I’m sure the time is coming.

    I would have brought out a flame thrower to get it off.

    So, Tim.. I take it you wouldn't have been as calm and compassionate as the Brazilian dude?
    :doh::hair::saw:

    I mean he even kicked it out of the road so it wouldn't get run over.
