Just shot a copperhead. Maybe 18" long.
Hit it with a CCI .45 shot shell from my 1911. Blew it about 6 feet away. My father-in-law hit it with a .410 because...well..he's a Marine and they get jealous when they don't get to shoot stuff. I have a zero tolerance policy for venomous snakes once they cross into the yard. We have too many dogs, cats, and kids running around.

Here's the kicker. Every snake's venom is slightly different. So, that copperhead in the OPs post may have held something unique that could have saved lives... The thing is, we never know.

Well, without them, we wouldn't have our society so medically advanced as it is today. With people that kill these snakes out of hand because of ignorance and fear, future cures and treatments may be lost forever. |

The County Sheriff might send someone, or OHP...in about 4 or 6 hours for a non life threatening emergency. What am I supposed to do, sit there and watch the damn snake for 6 hours so the sheriff's deputy can shot it just like I did? And then laugh at me with his cop buddies about how much of a pussy I am that I can't solve my own problems? Fuck that shit. 30 seconds after being spotted the snake problem was done and over with. Period. |

I will also add the the nearest hospital is a 25 minute drive away.
So no. I'm not taking any chances with venomous snakes. |

Call animal control and ask if they have someone that can or if they have contact info for a herper that lives in the area. If they don't and you have facebook, post a request up there. Or do a google search on free snake relocation in your area. I have my number with every law enforcement agency, animal control and animal shelter within 100 miles of my place as do others. It's not hard to find people that will help. LOL...animal control? Are you serious? I live in rural north eastern Oklahoma, not some yuppie white-flight suburb. We don't HAVE any animal control.

And yes, in rural eastern Oklahoma, there are people that can and will help. But you go ahead and solve your own problems. Just don't say a word when a "dead" snake tags you. |

I didn't decapitate the snake. I blew it's head clean apart, shredded it. There was nothing left to bite with. |
