We have Timber Rattlers in the South the size of Python’s. They are so strong that a strike on your leg by a big one can break your leg.
Oh quit sugar coating it. Everyone knows that they'll bite a leg clean off. ;)
That’s gotta be some good eating and easy to clean too.
Yep. That’s the kind we have around here. They get big; but
they will sing out and warn you before they strike. They
stay in their areas & we stay in our areas. They got a job
to do. The copperheads out here are sneaky & I sort of
dread warmer weather headed our way. We had a copperhead
on the side porch last year. It was folded up and looked
like a bunny rabbit; but Dub was barking her head off &
Fang sneaked around behind the snake & either walloped it
with a shovel or hoe or may have shot it; can’t remember.
I don’t want to move to town. - The snake almost leaped
back on Fang; but went in the opposite direction.
