Awesome pics. And thanks Rize for posting mine.

I was really excited to see these snakes today and be able to rationally watch them and try to identify without getting freaked out.

Owe it all to the OB!

I agree with water snake, probably a Northern Water Snake in that region.

I was backpacking in TN 2 Octobers ago and stepped directly on a fairly large copperhead that blended perfectly into the leaves. It didn’t even think about striking. I picked it up with my hiking stick and moved it well off the trail on onto a big rock to sun.

My experiences with copperheads is that they’re pretty chill. The little ones seem much more apt to strike.
