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. Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.

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. Last edited by jaguartx; 08/30/22.

She has a natural fear, and backs off and barks when she sees them. The snakes always give way. Now, we have some Mohave green rattlers around. They are just mean as hell. Shoot on sight.

Live in SW GA and we’re loaded with both EDB’s and Canebrakes. As well as copperheads and cottonmouths. For most folks here (heavy ag community) it’s just not that big a deal. More folks I know (and I’m one as well) give em a pass unless they’re in the back yard. Gators too. Friend of ours found a 8’ gator by her back porch steps a couple of years ago. At first glance she thought it was an old log. Ha. You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.

I trust them a lot more than I trust most folks. I thought it was kind of cool how closely a Copperhead and Cottonmouth hang from a stick May is mating season and the Cottonmouths gather in large numbers. And get as big around as your forearm. https://vcdl.org/
