Me and my brother used to look for snakes and lizards and stuff at my grandparents hosue when we visited. Comming from Iowa, it was a big deal. However me and my brother were alot younger and we lifted alot of rocks and didn't know much better... if you dont know where this is already going... i caught a copperhead at the age of 6. No i wasn't the brightest in the box but i knew to grab it from the back of the head and stuff (thank you steve) and it was just a baby (not saying that it wasnt a bad idea)
