I know where that church is located. The pastor from there recently got bit and died handling the snakes. I’ll pass on the snake handling. Wish they would come to my place and hunt for copperheads I would oblige them. Nasty buggers! One year I killed fourteen copperheads, one rattlesnake and two black racers that would not stay away from my mother in laws house.

I have a friend who got nailed by a copperhead getting in a boat a few year back. He flipped a john boat to get the leaves out and righted it back and in the process flipped a two foot copperhead out in the leaves. He took one step and it nailed him in the foot.

He had flip flops on and one fang hit his big toe and the other the narrow strap between the toes thus preventing taking a full load of venom. He was still in the hospital for three days and out of work for two weeks. He says it still hurts on cold winter days when he is working, just throbs in that area.

Ever hear of Wendy Bagwell and his story "Here comes the Rattlesnakes"? LOL

There ain't but two things I know of around here that are Copperheads natural enemies. One is a black shake and the other is a house cat.

“One year I killed fourteen copperheads, one rattlesnake and two black racers that would not stay away from my mother in laws house.”

Seriously, I hope you and your MIL get along, but that is just begging for a good punch line.
