We was mowing hay today and usually ya get a few snakes with the mower..well we hit a black snake..I noticed it was real big so i got off to look..then I saw a tail sticking out of its mouth..noticed right off it was a copperhead..so i got my camera and took a few pics to share..i pulled the copperhead out of the blacksnake to show the size of each..btw it was 20 yards from my dog kennels. So if you can..let the black snakes go they do good work.

that is cool right there. i always wondered if that was an Old wives tale or not.

Could that be a King Snake????

I was always told that they eat other types of Snakes.

it could be i guess...just what I always called a black snake..we got alot around here..

You sure thats a copperhead, maybe its the blood I see on the snake, just don't look like the patterns of a copperhead. If it is a copperhead then great.

how long was the cooperhead?most i've seen are alot shorter,and have a more blunt tail.

Hey fellas, a snake is snake and I don't like them even if they are green.

trust me...it was a copperhead..fangs and all..wasn't blood on it..it was just wet with like mucus stuff..makes the color look funny in the pic in the sun..copperhead was about 26 inches

Lord have mercy that gives me the willies I still say kill all snakes and run for the hills Neat photos

The black snake didn't bother me but that copperhead
made me want to jerk my feet up and chills run down
my spine

Great pictures Brad !!!

I have seen blacksnakes hanging in barn rafters with rats inside them, digesting them. I say blacksnakes are really handy to have around, and Brad has confirmed it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

They are all baby rabbit eaters. I would eradicate them all if it was up to me. Had one get in a Bluebird house a couple of years ago. When he came out with 4 knots in his belly I had a hoe down.

dang cool pics ....i have turkey shot for both of them im no snake man

Brad, your experience was better than mine. I killed this one Memorial Day. He/she was laying in one of the paths where we run. My dogs stepped own and over it several times.

Why does it have to be snakes That is a large copperhead for a snake to be eating ,the boys Imet down around kentucky had Rattle chaps they wear when running now I say NO WAY even with the chaps
