That really looks like a cotton mouth. I like snakes and could use some rat snakes but anything that looks like a cottonmouth with an angular head I kill.

Do they need a permit for that?

One of my heelers got into it with a copperhead on Saturday.

Somehow she didn’t get hit.

I’m torn between being impressed and calling her an idiot.

Yeah we smoke rattlers at the ranch if by the house. I let one be shed hunting this year because it was in the woods.

It has a turned up nose. Cottonmouth.

I enjoy knowing you're another day closer to when, not if

When they consistently hold that head at a 45* angle, it's most definitely venomous

No different than many other hobbies. When I raced motocross, crashing was a matter of when, not if. Luckily I got by with broken bones but no paralysis or death. Some hobbies have risks. We choose whether or not to accept those risks. I feel much safer handling snakes than I did riding dirt bikes.

We refer to these fat bastards as blunt tails. Please exterminate.
