thats what I was thinking as well, let it scurry off instead of mowing it over. maybe it will keep getting the mice and such so the damn neighborhood cats will stop screwing around in my yard.
I think you've answered this before but..what do you do with your little captured friends and what part of the world does you stays which seems to be quite copperhead infested ?MouthBQ98 said:
And we're talking on a roll. #3 found this evening in front of the house. I'm really appreciating my snake stick now. So easy: grab and go.

Ok, fine. I'll get a paint pen and start ID'ing them. It'll only last until they shed.
I assume that your neighbor is in on this AND HIS home is also well away . 250 yards isn't much for a hungry little critter to slither.MouthBQ98 said:
I banish them to the fence line with the neighbor's pasture a good distance from the house. It's a good 250 yards away, which is why I am curious if any find their way back.
I live in Paige, which is Post Oak prairie, prime copperhead habitat.

Wow, that's a nice website! Lots of varieties of snakes in California, lots of pictures of each type for those that I clicked on.12f Mane said:

Behavior above tells me it was probably a hognose.
