I always thought lot lizzards were the ladies patrolling the truck stop parking lots. Be a shame to put those poor girls under any economic hardships.

I figured it was going to get a mouth full of lead .

Yeah, that was not a suprise at all.

No, it really shouldn’t be.

I hate em too. Those things don't always rattle. And supposedly copperheads will rattle they tails against leaves to make a warning. I call Bull pucky. They just bite around here.

Here in my part of Missouri it's copperheads we have to worry about. Man I hate snakes!

Those copper heads are rough. And so easy to overlook in fallen leaves/ dead grass. Step right on them, and be bitten before you know it. We have another bad one here too, the cottonmouth. I live really close to the Tennessee river, and countless creeks, reservoirs and small lakes and ponds, and these things are vindictive. Don't make the mistake of wacking one with a stick and not killing it. They will come at you.

 

[JimT66]

I grew up hunting cotton mouths with air rifles. Then pb's in creeks and ponds. Once shot a bunch of holes in bottom of a jon boat while frog gigging, when one came off a stump I bumped into, at way past dark. I got him, but the boat was terminal from the #6 holes.

Dogowski, y'all have problems with the cotton mouths too don't you?

 

[Hateful McNasty]

No i only kill moccasins. Rattlers ain't too aggressive and just prefer you to b e left alone and move on .. look how they are at rattlesnake rodeos. Thay act all pissed but really fi nothing at striking the guy poking at them .lol.

I use to bag them and dump them off at the back fence . Now I put the dog up till I figure it slithered on elsewhere..

Well, just don't forget about em, then reach under anything, or go to sleep outside when it gets cool,lol. There is a a great reason they call untrustworthy people snakes too.

A few times in my shop I reach in a coffee can of something and feel a what the heck ?? Then look in to see it's a oak snake curled up in it or in the house cause I'm bad about leaving the door open .. ( birds, lizards, frogs, ect .. as well). It's just Florida life I guess .

Ohh yeah, I know. I lived in Bradenton for several years. I know the wildlife can get intrusive from time to time.

If I didn’t have a dog that thinks everything is either a chew toy, friend or both it wouldn’t be a problem.

Ol'Ruff ( now self proclaimed snake charmer) found it and was barking and being a big shot .. poor snake was just trying to slither away in peace.. I had to shoot the pygmy rattle snake above cause I had no option at that moment . He's not so easy to see either. Just wrong place /bad timing for him .
