Best place to find Copperheads...
....in the wild. I know here in East Tx. they like to come out at night onto the roads when it starts getting cool to warm their bellies. I've fliped rocks checked in and around fallen trees, checked in leaves and looked around streams and ponds. I would like to see color variations in my area. Where have you guys stumbled on them during daylight hours?

Keep in mind that they are semi-aquatic, so you might even check near bodies of water with slow moving streams.
Where abouts in east texas are you?

Semi-aquatic? That is cottonmouths. Sure you can find copperheads near water, but they certainly arent semi-aquatic.

Where on earth did you get that information? Here, let me pull up a few links to prove my point.

I know the difference between a cottonmouth and a copperhead, thank you.
And if you want more sources of information, i can gladly help.

I'm sorry, i don't do "mix ups." Come to my area and you will see plenty of copper heads near marshy areas and even swimming in some of the streams. Not to be confused with cottonmouths, which, to me anyways, look nothing alike.

Ok, I'll argue, then
Anything west of Greenville is North Texas, not East Texas.
