That coloring really is beautiful. The way the colors actually fade into each other really is impressive. Around here if they get into oak leaves they just disappear.
One of my dogs got tagged a couple weeks prior. Just on the paw. The punctures were pretty far apart compared to what I’d seen before. Some antibiotics and anti inflammatory and 3 days later couldn’t tell it ever happened. I don’t kill the snakes. They serve their purpose like everything else around here. And I enjoy seeing them on the rare occasion once or twice a year.

Copperheads get killed.

All non-venomous snakes get a pass.

This one had the whole world to exist on, and decided to be way too close to my house. Off with his head.

Copper Heads are around a lot in Missouri.. it seemed like I would see them more in August than any other month. They liked to enter my garage and lay around on the concrete cooling off,, I think… garden hoe, shotgun…yard dog,, ( mean sob) made it easy to dispose of them. Sneaky little bastards….

I’m in St. James area. Friend’s grandfather had a few acres near Bonne Terre when we were teens. Lots of copperheads around there. Speckled king snakes and black rat snakes were plentiful as well. Lake of the Ozarks we found lots of scorpions.

Same here: Neighbors have two small children outside, God forbid if they get bit.
Other than that I just shoo non poisonous one away.

As a kid in mid state New York, we lived near a bunch of old mica and iron mines. Lots of copperheads. We were taught as soon as we could walk how to be focused and careful and what to do around the copperheads. Kids do not have to be helpless victims if taught correctly.

This right here. Mine are normally that large. Mostly smaller ones. If you kill one, look for a second is what I have been told.
Non poisonous get a pass.

Had a big king snake that would cruse they yard between the house and barn. You could watch where she was when she would stop and stick her head up 6-8". Was funny to watch her move around. Damn roofers working on the barn killer her. Pissed me off.

I feel like this pic is going to lead to one of those lessons in strength and weakness. If he owns that pic, pokes fun at it and uses it to be an example of why he is running for office again it will be a big asset. If he runs from it the liberals will bludgeon him with it. If he owns it, it has the potential to become epic.

If I see flags at his rallies with this pic and something like "GO TRUMP" or "MAGA" on it as well, I will know he owns the PR campaign, and so will everyone else. The cherry on top would be a Rich Men North of Richmond video with this in there compared to the lib politicians with Zelensky. Add in some homeless vets and a laid off worker and it goes to 11.
