Copperhead?
Today while cleaning out my friends horses stall I raked up a little snake. So I stuck it in a empty water tub and I was shocked at what was staring back at me! I got my friend and she screamed, and dragged me away from the tub and told me it was a Copperhead and I was freaking lucky it didn't bite me. While she was off looking for something to... I guess kill it with, I slowly took the tub out to the woods and tipped it over and left the little one to find it's way out. I then went back in the stall and poked around to see if there were any others. Not that I could see at least. But yeah that was my excitment for the day!
Soooo was it a baby Copperhead?

Re: Copperhead?
Looks like one to me! Yes indeed, you're very lucky you didn't get tagged...that woulda hurt! KUDOS to you for letting it safely go before your friend could kill it!

Looks it to me!! I have heard stories of little kids having babies in their pockets and they didn't bite. Not saying that they wouldn't, but just be careful! Good save!!!

Re: Copperhead?
This little one didn't "S" up at all, just was crusing and looking around the tub. I had never deen a real one up close and person like that so I didn't know if it was one or not. I just knew it wasn't our normal rat snakes we see around there! I guess I gave it a rude awakening after it had been hiding down in the warm/yucky horse stall bedding.

Oh I didn't pick it up with my hands! Just with a manure fork!
