Copperheads!

Hello,

I just read that copperheads use the turquoise coloured tip of their tail to imitate worms and trick birds into becoming a snack . Hehehe .

Huh that's pretty neat . Of course with my luck , I end up falling for the bait too looking for fishing worms . And end up on the business end of a pissed off viper .

* note to self . Use a stick when fishing for fishing worms *

 

Yeah, I'm wondering if the cats haven't been bitten. They like to hunt the birds in the bush beside the meter box. Two of my cats have had an illness where they couldn't eat for about a week and just laid around like they were going to die. I bet they had snake bites.

 

Yeah it should come with a c.p.r. manual , And a "so you have been bitten by a poisionous snake /insect/animal bite " survival manual .

step 1) relax stay calm , breath . And please note by you reading this we are obsloved of any acts of god or nature .

step 2 ) have you fully read and understand step 1

step 3 ) If alone call for help , reach for a phone .

step 4 ) pray to what ever God or deity you subscribe to .

step 5) repeat steps 1-5 / see reverse side for spannish .

 

Oh, this is going to be interesting. I just found my son out in the yard with a rifle. He says he has a gold fish that his is going to put on a line to catch the snake with, and then shoot the snake in the yard...

Updates soon.

 

No Snake today. The holes were empty. My son left a fishing line baited with a gold fish down in the hole and loosely replaced the lid. I guess we will have to see if he catches a snake later.

 

:hurray:

Did you have 9-1- pre punched into the phone ?

 

I would NOT mess with them. Call water dept, or county if they can't help. You don't want to get bitten by one. I almost jumped on top of one rock climbing in Cheaha, AL.

 

I thought they gave this guy a neck tie party a few years ago . I guess you could think of him as a snake . desert rat

 

Morning,

if you are quick and if you can stand the pain of a copperhead strike or two, then you don't need fishing worms. The meal is right at your hands: copperhead gumbo. Tastes like chicken .

Huh , Dinner , a pair of boots , and a hallucinogenic venom high . Hell , count me in . I'm surprised it's not the latest rage . " Snake noodling "

Snake it's not just dinner . :smash:

 

I don't know if we caught a snake or not. My son was drinking this afternoon when he tried to tell me about something and I'm not sure what really happened.

He said the line felt heavy and he started reeling it in and it broke. I think he seemed to think the snake was on the line.

I'm not sure if the lid was sitting on the line and maybe that's what broke it.

It was late today and kind of chaotic when he told us this so nobody went to actually move the lid and look inside.

Damn it.

 

don't let him mess with it drunk. that could get real interesting .

 

LOL

Thanks, I needed that.

 

You mentioned a black widow! I'd rather(look out-hyperbole ahead) - french kiss a copperhead than fool with a black widow!! They are,to me,the creepiest critters in the world. I've caught rattlers before by hand and eaten them years ago--but a black widow makes me run off like a coward! If I was there--I'd get 'em out of there for you.

 

Yeah, I've lived with black-widows and their red hour-glass on their bellies about all my life, I think. Down South. Since I have "natural snake antivenin" now - according to a doc i know; but, a copperhead bite is nothing even I would play with, if them "watching" me for 5 hours is what I had to go through again.

Black widows are supposed to be like super-deadly - you quit breathing and your heart stops - in about 4 or 5 hours. I don't know about all that.

A woman down the road almost died from a brown recluse bite, but this was over time, and another neighbor had a black place come up on her finger where a recluse bit her (and that was all). Maybe spider bites are different somehow.
