That's a nice canebrake on the bottom. We're loaded with them around here this year for some reason.
Diamondbacks are just now moving into the pine barrens near us ... have seen two in the past two years so I know there's more.
We've got a lot of vipers happening around here this year fwiw. Have had to relocate a couple of cotton mouths this summer. It's been kind of strange.
I went and got all my dogs vaccinated just incase.
Only relocating I do with cottonmouths is to their final resting place.
I send all dangerous pit vipers to hell.
Just because one doesn't nail you one day doesn't mean it won't get you or a kid or a dog the next.
Like the snake which bit the lady who took it in and saved its life said, it's what snakes do. I learned long ago snakes bite.
I'm not stupid enough to give one a second chance.
