well maybe not so little [:0]
It looks like a copperheaded rattlemocasin. come to think of it they all look like that to me[:D]
you hit the nail on the head its a highbred a cross between a copperhead and cotton mouth [:0][}:)][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D] jk
Back over on the Toad Suck, Arkansas River, I was fishing late one evening about a hunnerd years ago...building up a fire, I noticed a long black stick lying a few feet outside the fire circle...going to collect it, the light reflected off a snowy white mouth...opened up about a foot wide. That critter had to be 8 feet long...or near enough to it for MY bulging eyes.....
He made a pass towards me...but was slipping in some brown stuff. I gave him the sandbar...went back early the next morning for my gear.
Ain't a BIT ashamed to admit it, either...
Never went near that river again without some snake medicine....at least .22, and oftimes bigger pills...
(now do I use the whip or revolver on him [:p])
by the size of the head it was/is 5 ft long or longer. the right length for a belt!
not that big maybe 2' or so

I wonder if she likes trouser snakes....[:D][:D][:D][;)][;)]
thats a sexest remark, full tooo bursting pants. it is also pretty funny...
All them colors ain't NOTHING compared to the yellow streak running up my backbone when I see one under my feet..the brown steak as I unass the A.O...and the pasty white coloration of my face as I catch my breath 50 yards away... !!! [:0][:0]
Oh Bert! You're killing me!
NATURALLY...I laughed..till I looked down and saw the biggest rattlesnake a man had the misforture to EVER see..coiled up by my left boot...
I cleared the fence..and several innocent steers that had wandered up to see if we were going to feed them...talk about BIG eyes...them steers just purely wern't used to seeing 6 foot humans flying over their heads..screaming....
Mt 'buddies' were lying about in various states of helplesssness..laughing their fools heads off.....naturally, it was one of the common variety of bull snakes that seem to delight in coloring themselves JUST like a rattlesnake out there....
SHEESH...reckon I will never forget it...
Never saw someone move so fast in my life! We never did find the snake.[:D]
Given my luck...that would have been the mating rattle sound....
[:D][:D]
Would have had a shortened life near me. I really do not like snakes.
Friend in Alabama shot one that fell in boat with us. With his 38. Made three holes in the boat.
I almost died from the shock of the close by shots and then the laughter.
Got home a few hours later and went to clean up the body. She had chopped this snake, turns out it was a green grass snake, into a few dozen small parts. Used an ax on it.
Asked her why did she use the ax, its a little on the heavy side, machete was right beside it and a lot easier to swing. She informed me that the handle on the machete wasn't long enough for her.
Arond here if I encounter a snake unexpectley and up close, my first reaction is to kill it, right away. If I see one at a distance and have a few seconds to think and realize that most snakes really are beneficial, I will let it go about its business. Heck was up in the attic a couple of months ago, must be a few dozen black snake skins up there. As long as we have them in the house, no rats, mice or other snakes such as copper heads.

This pic just sends chills up my back. Water snakes are the worst. My next worst fear is small fast land snakes. Well any fast snakes.
We have them around here with yellowist/orange bottoms. I don't know what those are but last time I seen one I puckered so hard I cut my thong in two.

Why Jake. Do you know someone who has one??[:)][:)][:)]

I would sure hope so.
I will never forget that. I am not really scared of snakes I used to play with garter snakes as a kid all the time.
I love spiders too, My ol lady HATES!! spiders and wants me to kill everyone I see, but I wont. Once there was a MASSIVE and I mean MASSIVE! wolf spider in the house this thing had a body as big around as a nickel not counting how long its feet were. Anyways she wanted me to kill it so I grabbed an old pickle jar and rounded him up took him outside and tossed him in some brush. I can't kill spiders! they eat mosquitoes and flies therefor spiders are a good friend of mine. I have seen tons of wolf spiders but this one here must've been granddaddy's daddy it was a monster wolf spider. I will never forget that spider, I had some amazing pictures of him while he was in the jar but I have no idea what happened to them.
