Coachwhip

Sometimes also called a Red Racer or Pink Racer in western parts of the state where they sometimes get that reddish color.

Young cottonmouth acting bitey. Mason Creek trail in George Bush Park/Barker Reservoir, Katy.
Sorry for the resolution. It was getting dark.

Wife and I were on our bikes. It gave me a chance to drop some knowledge about the mascara line and slit like pupils. Of course, she says "yeah I'm not getting close enough to see its pupil shape."

About 42 hours in. The swelling has stabilized. It's followed my veins and lymbic system up the outside and back side of my left leg, sort of on the surface. The inside of my leg from man over my ankle up is almost unaffected. It's stopped about halfway up the side and back of my thigh.

The lower leg and foot gets pretty stiffly swollen if I stand and crutch around and gets better if I lay back and keep the leg elevated. It's sore likes bruise to the touch but doesn't hurt at all if I keep it pretty still.

One strange thing is if I lay down a while, then stand up, it does throb and ache as the blood and fluid flows back down into it at higher pressure. There is a lot of healing left to go. The foot itself around the bite has a bit of blue and purple tinge to it from bruising.

Not terrible but I've got some suffering left to do And then some recovery to get my foot and leg back up to normal function.

Apparently I am in a somewhat exclusive club of -7500 people in the USA that get bitten by a venomous snake. About 50% of those are copperhead bites.

Welcome to the club, Mouth. It has been 20 years since I was inducted, and I am still waiting on my members only jacket. Please let me know if they send you one.

Hope you're doin better!

There's a bunch of them back there. I've caught my fair share along Mason creek and Buffalo Bayou.
