dang i guess its that time of the year already. I was walking in from feeding tonight and saw a 3' cotton mouth on the back porch. went and grabbed a shovel and got him. My wife heard the noise and came outside to see what was going on. I went on to tell her the way that snake was just laying there it was like it was wanting bred. i told her to be careful because there are probably more around. I took the headless snake down to the pig pen to give them a snack and walked back up to see another cotton mouth about 1.5' long in the same dang spot. SOOOO. different verse same as the first  kinda freaked me out that i sensed that there was more than one. |

I've already seen a hognose and a ratsnake this year. When it is cold out snakes, or reptiles, cannot see or function. everything just looks like a blur until their body temperature rises to a certain degree. snakes are good eating. I actually like the taste and texture of snake meat better than any other land animal(just it takes a big one to get much meat). gator and turtle meat are good too.
gopher tortoises used to be used as money or for barter. instead of .50 cent and dollar peices there were 10 dollar turtles on up to whatever depending on size.

Well I have never been to afraid of snakes but after being bit last year by a copperhead, I am officially afraid of them now. lol Don't want to go through that ever again. So look out and don't play around because it is not a fun.

If you find a bunch of them in one location this time of year there is a den sight in the vicinity, or wherever they hibernated.

unfortunately, this time a year they don't have no meat on them, because they used up over the winter. but it is definitely a good time for hunting poisonous snakes, atleast when it is a warm one.

Sniveling boo hoo babies  Just giving y'all a hard time. I have had a few close call but never been bit. But that sure is nice of them to go to the same spot and wait for you to kill them |
