Copperhead

No doubt

Undoubtedly copperhead

Burn that son of a bitch after you chop it into pieces.

I’m a city boy. Don’t know much about snakes. Scared of all of them. It was on a friend’s property. He just moved from New York. Doesn’t know the local critters well.

Thanks for all the help.

He just cleared off some of his property of the under brush. Must have ruined his hiding spot. Thanks for the warning

You really had to come here and ask this?

I’ll never forget what I was around 10 I caught a Cooperhead and brought it back to my dad and uncle holding it in my hands. The look on their two faces was priceless

Very pretty snake, but it needs to die.

People love to be scared of snakes, even the mighty "outdoorsmen" on this board. But, I promise they're not a big deal. If you're outside, watch where you put your hands and feet, and there's a 99.999% chance you'll never be bitten. And even if you were, the VAST majority of bites aren't life-threatening, especially from a copperhead. Despite the hysterical wives tales, none of them are going to chase after you to bite you. You're a giant predator, and they're basically helpless. They just want to not be seen, or get away.
