That snake just gave birth to a bunch of babies! they usually have about 50.

Had one just like that in my yard last year, just about stepped on it the 2nd time I walked by it. Scared the **** outta me! Ended up at my parents 2 days later on their porch, dad got a hold to it with the shovel, made big snake into little snake. Ended up being a rat snake.

The only good snake is a snake on tv! but then u start to notice every little thing that rubs ur leg or at least I do!

It's a copperhead. if you want to be sure, take a scredriver and 'raise' it's fangs by sliding a screwdriver sideways in it's mouth, then slide the screwdriver forward. you'll see 2 fangs. If you only see teeth, it's probably just a rat snake, but I'm pretty sure it's a copperhead. we have ton's of em here.

Definitely not a copper head.

^^^That's a real copperhead!^^^

We had them suckers everywhere in Oklahoma! I don't miss the volume of those snakes at all!

My wife was bit by a copper head. I personally saw the damage they can cause.

After doing a little more research, I see by the look of the banding it is NOT a copperhead. hard to tell from the pics. copperheads have hourglass looking bands across their back, where the wide part of the hour glass is oriented to the side of the snake. this one does not have that type banding.
