Sorry to break it to you, EMCE, but those copperheads were more likely water snakes. Not that there aren't copperheads around ATL, but if you usually found them at the creek...

Didn't you know that every brownish black or blackish brown snake around the dirty south is a copperhead or water moccasin? Go get a herpestology minor or something.

I'm not scared of snakes. was the chosen killer of copperheads for the family, and there were alot of them!

But I have never seen a rattler.

just thinking about a snake with a rattle on it's tail scares me.
maybe upside down needs to show me one, so I'm not scared. It's like a fairy tale that they exist in the wild, I never expect to see one, and the day I do.... I'm gonna be like "OHHH shit!!"

No lie...I saw this rattlesnake at Cedar Island:



I even took that photo. For real son. Look at that thing.

just don't go poking it with a stick while yelling CRIKEY! and i'm sure he'll leave you alone

Ay yo...For real though, you guys changed my life. Back before I was on TWW if I saw a snake on the road I would just pull up to it and peel out on it's body. TWW taught me that just because there is some mean ass snake on Cedar Island doesn't mean I have to kill it because there is only like a one in ten chance that it will bite some baby or toddler. I let that snake be son. I let that snake be. It might still be alive today for all we know.
