And of course they're all wearing masks. Wouldn't expect anything less.

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.
