My dog got bit by a copperhead, right here in the same yard where I took the picture in the original post. My wife heard our 2 dogs going berserk, then saw the snake clamped on one of their noses. The dog was flinging it around, wife said it was pretty long. I came home and the doggies nose was swelled up like a softball. 2 nights in the emergency vet, and we were good.
BTW, I havent seen the king/milk/corn/black/rat snake since I posted. I let him live, hopefully he's out eating the frogs rats that duper in my driveway.
