The snake I see looks more like a rat snake than a copperhead.

should have let it bite you so you could make sure it was a real Copper Head

Looked like a copperhead when I kilt it. Not so much in the pics:D Had a triangle shaped head like a poisonous snake though.
Usually kill 2-3 a year.
Had dog on leash with me when this one came out in driveway.

Its very dark for a copperhead, but I wouldn't chance it. A dead snake is a good snake.

All of the Copperheads around here are very orange and don't get over 24". These are also thicker than that one.
We haven't had one in the yard yet this summer, but I expect it any day.

One needs to feed his snakes a bit more. If that's a copperhead, some Korean orphans need to send him a care package.

The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.
