Here is Missouri there are lots of Copperheads and cottonmouths. There was a copperhead under the neighbors coach and it came out and we all saw it. The neighbor came out and grabed it with a long stick and threw it into the bushes behind his trailer. We all said at least we knew where it was now. LOL 
Copperheads are nasty little jokers ,I have seen Sonja hold those down with her foot and pick up Copperheads and put those in a jar, not me he is missing a head when I see one
