Copperheads

[petmoosie]

My neighbor just alerted me to the risk of copperheads in our neighborhood. With the heavy rains, and our nearby river, they are getting flooded out of their 'dens' and are trying to get to a smaller stream. This is also the time when baby copperheads are born (late summer, early fall).

I think they usually stick to wooded areas and don't bother with the communal dens except during winter. But they are usually active after rains, so watch out.

Ooh - make sure you get pictures of cute baby copperheads! :-) Seriously, though, if you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone.
