Title: Yikes!!!
Post by: firedup on August 25, 2014, 08:40:29 PM

I normally don't bother snakes too much if I find em out doing there thing. I figure they were put here for a reason.  But around the job sites where the guys are working, picking up stuff, flipping materials around, ect.....the bad ones gotta go.  We were moving a few large rocks around that had been there for a bit (couple years) and the snakers just rolled out of there.  All copperheads.  Don't know how many got away but these didn't make it.  The big one is 44".  I have been around near 60 years and have NEVER seen on this large.  A true monster for my area.

They are all good snakes now.  Don't blame you for offing them.

I hate those things - nice job!  On a positive note, they look like some mighty fine future hat-bands and trumpet holsters.  You could probably make a coat out of that 'king of the copperheads' big one!

That's the reason I wear snake boots on my job! Staking phone cables up and down the sides of the roads where the grass is knee high, and in and out of ditches, not to mention in folk's yards with all the shrubbery. They sure give me a piece of mind!! But, these look like some "GOOD" snakes!!
