Seen 2 copperhead bites in the icu in past month. Be careful out there
From around OKC or from other parts?
Two weeks ago we had a pretty good size rat snake coming up to the front door of our office for the shade. It was freaking some of our people out. I channeled my inner Steve Irwin and trapped his head with a stick, got him by the tail and carried him out to a pasture beside our building. There were some large round hay bales that offered him plenty of shade, as well as probably a few critters. He didn't care to be there and started making his way back to our building.
When I approached him again going across the gravel side road beside our building he was none to happy about it:
He had his chance to live and decided to test his fate. I was fresh out of killing tools (being at work and all), so I improvised:
SUV 1 - Snake 0

My mother-in-law got bit by one a few years ago. Not a pretty wound at all.

Thanks for giving me another reason to never move east in this state. I’ll keep my prairie rattlers.
My wife’s grandfather got bit by a young one three or so years ago. Was wrapped up on the rung of a ladder. He nearly coded twice and described it as the most excruciating pain he’d endured in his nearly 90 years. With snakes, kill first, ID later!

The way my luck goes, I’d whack it, fling its head at my leg and it would bite me, or I would miss completely, hack my leg off at the shin, and they’d call me Ol’ Stumpy from then on.
Them snakes haven't read the rule book! Copperheads ain't supposed to be around there!
Yukon! Hey! I live in Yukon and I do NOT like snakes!
