  4. Great photo. I can’t show this to Mrs Teasdale or she won’t go near the woods for a week.

    Was in Manassas Battlefield Park forest last November, a thick freshly fallen carpet of big golden leaves everywhere, and a big copperhead so well concealed amid the leaves I almost stepped on him.

  8. Dr Oliver Sacks on species’ brain evolution and survival of the fittest:

    ” Long term, it’s better to evolve a brain that can mistake a stick for a snake, than a brain that mistakes a snake for a stick. “

  9. I hate snakes, especially RINO snakes. Almost stepped on one once, a copperhead, while looking for a golf ball. Now I’ll take the drop and the penalty stroke, lost ball. Phuckit. If it was a RINO though, I’da crushed the muddafoker. McCain.McConnell, Graham, Flake are rattlesnakes. You need a revolver with .38 vermin shot.
    Right Brad? Where is Brad tonight?

  13. @Jethro, cucumber LOL, that’s some great psyops imagery there. I’ll play:

    Outdoors nature trips for Lefty Snowflakes:

    Rattlesnakes smell like pine trees.
    Giant 14′ strangler pythons about to drop on you from above sound exactly like a breeze rustling leaves.
    If you are outdoors and smell “pine”, or you hear tree leaves anywhere making any sound at all, GET OUT! GET AWAY! Nature is furious at your carbon footprint and it’s about to strike. Your only safety is to return indoors immediately. Turn out all lights, remain perfectly still, and hope they did not follow you home, to strike while you are asleep.”

    4Chan could have fun with that.

  22. When living on the tree line in the midst of my 12 are woods, copperheads were quite common in Southern Illinois, as well as, Timber rattlers. The Timber Rattlers were the length of my arm and as thick as my forearm. Had a 6 to foot black snake, unfortunately after I drove over him with my lawn tractor, he was in about 8 pieces…I was sad, he took care of moles, voles, rabbits and field mice.

  24. Rufus- My undcle told me that if you grab a rattlesnake by its tail, it can’t hear its rattle and it thinks it is dead and it won’t bite you. Haven’t tried it yet.
    Also- if an alligator is after you, stand straight up and down. The alligator can’t open its mouth wide enough and it won’t bite you.

  28. @Toby, LOL. I’ve always laughed at that Park Service advice, if attacked by a bear, don’t run, just fall down, go limp, play dead. The bear is supposed to nudge you a little, get disappointed and move on.
    Riiiiiiight. And if he starts disemboweling me, Mister Ranger, what’s Plan B?

  29. Two guys are being chased by a bear.

    First guy: We can’t outrun that bear, he’s too fast for us!
    Second Guy: I’m not trying to outrun the bear, I’m just trying to outrun YOU.

  32. @Cato… black snakes prey on smaller snakes, including rattkesnakes and copperheads. Sorry you ran over one! My uncle used to live near Murphysboro and was fond of bbq’d rattlesnake. He had no problem finding them down there.

  39. This Texan Has Had Enough-
    When I lived in Colorado, years back, I went out with some others and a new transplant from Florida to look at some land to build a house for him on. He was a total jerk. There was new snow laying on the ground everywhere. We wound up telling him about the ‘snow snakes’ that were under the snow and that they were really really pissed about the snow, so he should be very careful. He got really, scared, and almost cried. Some of us fell down, we were laughing so hard. Wonder what ever happened to him.

  40. I was wondering what that heavy wire and bent rod is under the snake, I thought it was a snare you were pointing out.
    In regard to the snake {very difficult to see} but the photo was shot using filters that helped it blend in and photo’s don’t allow for the benefit of depth perception.
