He's cocked, locked, and ready to rock, too.

ya, I'm not sure if he struck at me or not. When I noticed him he was either coiling to strike, or was reloading.

welp, almost got tagged by a copperhead last night. You can vaguely make out my footprint about 2" in front of it. This was in Moss Park, middle of Dallas
All that's missing from that pic is a black widow sitting on that poison ivy.
The triple threat.
Nevermind I forget to how to do pictures
Recued this guy (i.e. a rough earth snake) from the Socialists last night. Third one I've found in the house in a week, although #2 was beyond saving once I found him.
This was #1 on Saturday morning. Not sure how they are getting in, since I've never found any in the house before. The grey guy has found all three of them, and is consistently catching any bug that gets in the house. He's a hunter, but is 100% inside cat. For the songbirds.

Think I found him. Bottom middle right? Just his head?
Pretty much directly in the middle... a whole lot of nope
Copperheads.
Hard to spot in the picture, but with field of depth, I think it'd be slightly easier to spot in person.
Zoomed browser to 150% and found it. Nope!
I kind of want to kick her in the box for capitalizing the HER in herper.
In my herper experience, all herpers are weird and all female herpers are beyond weird.

Let's face it, you'd give her HERpes and be done with it.
Mexican word of the day:
HERPES-
When me and my sancha broke up we had to split up our stuff before I moved out. She got Herpes, and I got mine.

What is a Herper?
Snake person.... short for herpetologist

I know what it is but will let others guess... also found this little guy out of the nest. Any owl people know what kind it is?

Can't tell what we are supposed to be looking at in the first picture.
2nd one looks like a little owlet.

It's a close as I could get zoomed in after scaring it near the green. Look on the far left of the plants in the water. Part of his tail is hanging in the water.
It's definitely an owl... no idea what species.

I see the snake... just didn't know if there was another one honestly.
I would think it's a great horned owl. Too big to be a screech owl, I think a barred and barn owl, would already have different facial features.

Seriously... My mom has probably run over at least 8-10 copperheads on the ZTR this year alone at our ranch. (There is usually a high pitched scream associated with each kill...)
I'm not sure where she finds them as I only seen one alive and I've actually tried to find them. Most are fairly small (12"-18").
The amber eyes suggest that it is a great horned owl.
Hey, I'm not looking for them, just course of job...usually scouting for pigs. And all in Dallas city limits. Looking for them I could knock that number way up, get a lot of rattlesnakes if O hit the escarpment.
I ****ing hate snakes but that things beautiful.jbanda said:
It's camo is damn near perfect.
So are snake boots your everyday footwear, or something else? Always was curious about the effectiveness of some Danners or rugged tall hiking boots vs. Chippewa or something like that from a rattler strike.
