This all started when I was standing on the porch and happened to look down on the ground and see this bulky snake lying fairly motionless next to the walk - the bulkiness, the coloration, and the body pattern make me think instantly of the copperhead - a pretty venomous snake, not in the range of the rattlesnake but certainly not one to be bitten by for though deaths are rare, they do happen and victims often suffer amputations etc - taking these photos and using the internet I was even more sure that this was not a snake to be picked up and carried deep into the woods. Meanwhile my wife was posting pictures and getting verification from her sister's husband that indeed this was a copperhead.
