Copperhead
Five years ago I wrote a post about killing a corn snake in my back yard. As a naturalist this is something extremely embarrassing. I can now clearly identify a venomous from a non-venomous snake AND even if I had a venomous snake in my yard, which in this area would only be a copperhead, unless it was threatening us I would let it be. I had a couple of photos of the two snakes which are sometimes confused. For more on snakes I suggest looking up the herpetological society of your own state. Snakes are fascinating creatures.
