This is why you don't mess with snakes...

Even after you cut off their head, they are STILL dangerous!!!

I can't get over how big the dang copperheads grow in the south. Ours don't get nearly that big. And I'm glad of it! That gives me the willies!

I hate'm all. Alive, dead, it doesn't matter. I can't stand snakes. Just this past weekend I ended up killing three rattle snakes not all that far from my house. I wish God had never put poisonous snakes on the planet!

Oh and btw, that copperhead in the video is crazy big and disturbing.

I'll hafta admit, that is a big-azzed copperhead....the length is about right, but never seen one that thick, even in my area of the south.

Cap would prolly just grab him up, and pet his little head....not me, I'd give him a load of #4's!!! ;)

If it went to court ... would the man be charged with murder? Or did the snake commit suicide? ;)

I ain't terribly scairt of snakes, but I don't go around handling them without reason either. I've caught a few when I was younger but I wouldn't chance these old arthritic fingers being able to keep my grip on one anymore. Easier just to whack him with whatever is handy
