Though I've never seen a live rattle snake we do have copperheads, and the occasional cotton mouth show up on occasion. When I was a teenager I remember walking down a path through some really high grass and had stopped for a minute for some reason. I happened to look down about the time about a 4 foot long copperhead crawled across the toes of my boots. I was alert to the danger to say the leadt, but not really scared...still that was the longest 4 feet I've ever seen.
Beyond the usual caution and alertness for the poinsoness snakes, and the suprise factor when coming face to face with any snake unexpectedly, I don't mind the good ones like black snakes, king snakes, corn snakes, etc, etc. In fact I found a small king snake the other day when I moved something out in the yard. Then,, yesterday afternoon I turned around to to walk back into my shop and saw another one crawling across the floor. I had to move a few things to get to where it holed up but once I found it I simply picked it up and took it back out to the edge of the woods. I know that snakes are territorial and I have personally watched a big black snake kill a copperhead that came into it's territory, so I do my best to let the good, nonpoisioness snakes go their one way unharmed when ever possible.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
