Is that what happens when an SXP has a run in with a snake? Smiley

Save the snakes Wink

Disclaimer: I'd suggest avoiding the above pictured live snake on the end of snake tongs. Of course I can't tell the difference between the two so I'll just avoid all of them squished or not.

Look like y'all had a good time. All I got to do on memorial day was watch some bike ride through the 4 way intersection in front of my house. I did spread some more mulch though yum

Is that second pic a copperhead? My daddy picked one of those up and suffered for a very long time because of it. Poor pops got bit on the trigger finger. Horrible place to get bit. Shellene

Wow Shellene, that's interesting, my father also got bit by a copperhead, and had a pretty bad reaction!

About all I see where I currently live are rat snakes, but there are a lot of copperheads around my Mom's house in Alabama, that and timber rattlers.
I was hiking below the bluff on her property (she lives on a mountain) one winter and came upon a den with what must have been a hundred rattlers inside. You can ask Steve about my bike racing and rattlesnake story!

Take Care,
Nelson.

Kwijybow Five Star Member mostly a commuter Posts: 1026	Re: Memorial Day photos Reply #13 - May 27^th, 2009, 9:24pm Alas, I will likely be doing a very early 100K or so and then yard work this weekend. Also Shellene I usually see you disappearing up road as we pull out of the parking lot! Take Care, Nelson.

goldrushdave rbent member Posts: 34	Re: Copperheads Reply #14 - Jun 11^th, 2009, 4:15pm There are definitely copperheads on the White ROck Trail. I and several others have seen one. I last saw one West side of the lake on the trail that starts around the 7-11, about a mile from there near one of the bridges.
