we are normally good for 5-10 Copperhead sightings around our place in GA, but none this year.
That is a very cool snake.JM84 said:

This is the startling moment a controversial American pastor, whose father was killed after being bitten by a snake, is himself attacked by a serpent.
Cody Coots is the pastor at the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus' Name church in Middlesboro, Kentucky - one of America's last remaining snake-handling churches.
During his sermon, Pastor Coots can be seen handling a snake as he preaches to his congregation.
Quote:
While holding the creature aloft, it snaps it jaw at the preacher's ear - causing blood to splatter down his light-blue shirt.
Unconcerned, Pastor Coots continues his speech, telling the members attending the service to: 'Keep playing' and 'I'm not worried at all. God's a healer, I'm not worried'.
Yet it is soon apparent that Pastor Coots is becoming increasingly affected by the snake's bite as blood rushes down his face - no matter how many times he wipes it away with a cloth.
Soon he is choking and has to be carried out of the church by its members.
He was taken to hospital where doctors told him he could have been 'killed' after the snake came close to severing the temporal artery.
Yet he has now reportedly started re-evaluate his life in the wake of this incident.
Attacked? My ass. Terrible writing and hopefully next time the snake bites him in the balls so he has no progeny.Prognightmare said:Quote:

I watched the entire video. Yes, it is a timber rattler.DeBoss said:
Is he holding a timber rattler or something else?
Yes, Timber. Lucky for him it's a local snake. If you were to be bit in the head by a timber from eastern Texas/western Louisiana or north Florida you're dead.DeBoss said:

I'm known as the 911 guy that saves the day when it comes to snakes.zooguy96 said:
We had a 4 foot rat snake in the Library yesterday. Librarian was on the top of her desk. Course, "snake man" as I'm known at school had to take care of the snake. He was totally chill, of course.

Rat snakes are one of the few native snakes that I've never seen in person. I must be doing it wrong.
was it a diamondback or timber rattler? Ive been going to parts of Fayette and Colorado county for 30 years and never seen or heard of anyone seeing a rattlesnake around there. looks like herpsoftexas only has records of timber sightings in that area.Mostly Sunny Disposition said:
One copper head, one rattle snake (surprisingly) and one DBWS in Weimar. Didn't have my phone on me to snap photos but they were out this weekend
