    Well done brother. The second viper I interacted with as a child was a timber rattler and no one believed me. None of the adults I knew had seen a rattle snake in Kentucky before. Welp.... they're here. Be well brother man.

    Copperheads are the least of concern since they won't get you dead inless you have an allergic reaction. But they are all over the place, and they blend into dead leaves insanely well. I've never seen a cottonmouth in the woods / swamps I go to. I give the pit vipers room.

      You should have Eastern Massasaugas and Timber Rattlesnakes in MN (both kinds of rattlers) just like we had in Wisconsin. Both were threatened or endangered in WI, so they were rare and I never saw any. They might be out by the bluffs by the Mississippi River

    I love how factual your information about wild things is!
    Living in an area where there are no venoumas snakes I had a job of teaching my children about them, as their fathers were desperatly atraqid of snakes.
    I grew up around rattlesnakes and my father would catch them to show them to us, then put them back where they belonged.
    My oldest son at seven thought all snakes were bad, until I caught him trying to kill a nice mama garder snake that I kept in the chicken barn. We had a long talk about it and the garder snake was put bakc in the barn to eat mice and my son had a good lesson in leaving things alone, even when his friends were telling him snakes were dangerous. After that I was very careful to teach the rest of my children about snakes place in the world that God made.

    Up until this year I thought cottonmouths were always black till I got into learning about them, I've only seen one in the wild in NE TN, I didn't really learn much about them but now I wonder if I had seen more than one just thinking it was a copperhead lol. Yeah I teach my kids to come get me, if anyone is bit by something bad, it's me lol.
    When I was really young I can still remember finding my first snake, the adults over me kept blowing me off for a goodwhile, I didn't realize what I was seeing, I think it was eating a mouse based on what I can barely remember, but finally they listened and it was still coiled up where I found it, a copperhead, yeah adults better come look at what your kids find, last year my next to youngest (4) found a copperhead in our yard right around where I was cutting down a tree, he might have saved me from a bad encounter even, but atleast he didn't just grab it. I pray everyone's kid seeks adult help with these till they are old and experienced enough to safety identify them, there is a video on YT of a guy bitten by a copperhead because he thought it was a watersnake, I dunno how but bitten twice.

      Only in captivity Cottonmouths are semi aquatic cannibalistic snake eaters who don't socialize or tolerate any other species of snakes in the wild . No documented evidence of Cottonheads being born in the wild established breeding populations .

    Some of our local water moccasins can look even more like a baby copperhead than what you showed, but do not have the copper colored head but do have the horizontal lateral dark stripe on the head that covers the eye. Most times they change color to become darker but sometimes not. Somebody I know showed a picture of a 4 footer that was not dark and I have seen a three footer that did not. My part of northwest florida is where the two species overlap. Mean a lot of diversity. There are now considered to be no subspecies but two separate species.
    ''a molecular (DNA) based study was published in 2014, applying phylogenetic theories (one implication being no subspecies are recognized), changing the long-standing taxonomy. The resulting and current taxonomic arrangement recognizes two species and no subspecies.''

    I ran over what I thought was a copperhead, now I know it was a cottonmouth by the markings. I have a small pound, I found a Very large snapping turtle today the size of a 15-16 inch tire so I was looking to see if snapping turtles kill snakes like that. How do I get rid of those snakes? Soap? mothballs? I keep the 7 acres mowed and spray for weeds but around the pond its more difficult to keep it short , but during the winter I will piles up tree branches to burn off and clear out as much a possible.
