Coral snakes are the only exception to the round eye pupil/vertical eye pupil rule that pertains to North American venomous snakes. Obviously, the original pics were not a coral snake. I can never remember the color combinations for identifying a coral snake anyway. Thank goodness we don't have them up here, too.

Actually that us why he said he killed it was cause the pupils were cat like. He said he saw it and grabbed a tomato stake and started messing with it and realized it was poisonous so he hit it with the stake.

Y'all have rattlesnakes, though. What part of Ol' Virginny? I was up in Roanoke a few weeks ago.

Yessir on the rattlesnakes. Timber rattlers. I think yall call em "canebrake" or "ground rattlers"? If all the rattlesnakes and copperheads here on Clinch Mountain behind our house moved at the same time, they'd shake the mountain down. We're in SW Virginia, close to Tenn/Ky/Va border area. About 170 miles from Roanoke. How did yall like the Blue Ridge Mountains there in Roanoke?

Cottonmouth, Water Moccasin, or Copperhead doesn't really matter that thing is a pit viper and is poisonous for sure..

Beautiful. Took a short hop on the Skyline Drive/Blue Ridge Parkway. Got on a Buena Vista and got off near Vesuvius.

Glad yall liked it! Come back during the fall leaf peak (but NOT on a weekend!). That's a beautiful drive from Roanoke to North Carolina on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
