Copperhead + Timber Rattler
Here is the timber rattler (velvet tail) that my neighbor across the road shot at his front porch steps in June of 2011
About 5 feet long.
His 4 year old son heard the dogs barking and went outside and almost stepped on it.
He went back inside and told his Dad Big Snake. Dad emptied a 10 round clip into it.
I think the wood rats in the illegal junk yard next door attract the snakes.
