what are you doing with them?A beautifully colored copperhead. Id have paid you for that.
I usually catch them in my yard and let them go in an unpopulated area?

I know a guy who has a "pet" copperhead. Last I saw it, it was a foot long or so.
WAT?! we get horny toads here?http://herpsofnc.org/snakes/
I try to get folks to use This as a tool for identification and it’s a great learner if folks will take the time to look at it before screaming copperhead at everything with a pattern
Kings, corns... If you make it down to Texas, New Mexico, or Mexico and run across a Trans-Pecos Rat Snake or a Gray Banded Kingsnake that'd be great!Here I was thinking you might be running a selective breeding program. Would be interesting to see what could be done with patterns and all given a few years of work.
I'll drop ya a PM next time I get my hands on one... Any others your after?
Are you breeding any local caught eastern kings?Kings, corns... If you make it down to Texas, New Mexico, or Mexico and run across a Trans-Pecos Rat Snake or a Gray Banded Kingsnake that'd be great!
I wish I had the time and resources to do a breeding program on those...
No unfortunately, I'm not. Maybe when the kids grow up. But I don't have the time or resources to currently do anything like breeding snakes.Are you breeding any local caught eastern kings?
Gooood copperhead, good.
6 feet from the back door.
Looks like maybe not too long ago his tail was still green? Kinda blackish... not that it matters now, lol.

He's done gone over the fence. I have too many projects as it is, lol.That looks like a decent size Copperhead to me. Skin em out! I'm on high alert for these guys as they say the cicada crop will be pretty heavy this summer.

Plus, I filled him full of holes before taking the shovel to him.
I'm hoping he's the one we uncovered Friday while doing a bit of cleaning before the conex arrived. I Jeppo'd with the 38. [emoji1787]
Tonight I used the 32SWL shotshells.

lol. Damn. Glad it worked out
now you folks got me all nervous.
I let the grass grow too tall in part of my yard
can't just run the mower because there are some concrete and brick scraps over that way...
so now i gotta wade into hip high grass to stick my hands into a pile of bricks and concrete chunks.
maybe i'll just fire a couple shells of birdshot into the area preemptively.

mentioned in a different thread.
Last night i heard a few gunshots and saw a neighbor with a flashlight walking around his porch/yard. then I got a call that he found a rattlesnake that needed to be dealt with, no big deal. they sent pictures to my wife's phone and it looked like maybe 3-4ft canebrake.
It was sitting on a porch next to a 45acre plot of jungle alongside the cape fear south of fayetteville. Seen fox, deer, snakes, snakes, snakes, lizards, lizards, frogs frogs frogs, possums, raccoons, and more bunnies than you can shake a boomstick at. It's a bit of an adjustment for us ex-city people.Where?? While they are not rare, they are difficult to find.

the bugs are also an adjustment...
One of the snakes I’ve always wanted to find. Southern Randolph county and southeast towards the coast is supposed to be slap full of timbers. Only ones Ive ever seen were found dead in the roadI have looked for rattlesnakes North Carolina, in the mountains, and down east. I've yet to actually find one, to my dismay.
Out west? Different story. I've been in areas of the Southwest where western diamondbacks we're all over the damn place.

I had to make sure I wasn't incriminating myself, lol.They're supposed to be all over Camp Lejeune and also Fort Bragg, and in all of my time both places, Camp lejeune a whole lot more, I've seen tons of water moccasins and copperheads, but nary a rattlesnake.
Last year before we went to Oak Island on vacation, one or two days before, this street one block down from where we were staying, they killed an Eastern diamondback rattlesnake, killed it because it was a threatening a pet, it took a picture and that thing must have been 7 ft long.
I used to fish Tuckertown a lot in the early-to-mid-90's, and saw big timbers swimming across the lake pretty regularly. It really surprised me how big they were, probably at least 5' long, and at least as big around as an average man's forearm. I might have just seen the same snake several times, because they all looked identical.One of the snakes I’ve always wanted to find.

Damn, another one. This one was on my back steps; I was closing the screen door for the night and as I reached for the door to release the closer catch, I saw the last third of his body near the hinges side of the door.
Popped it with a 32SWL shotshell, he fell off the steps.
Got up close for the second shot.
Wife is a bit freaked out, so I dumped it in a bucket for the night. Otherwise I would have taken it to the fence and tossed it over.
That's 2 in 8 days, never had this many this close together.
