If I had to guess, I'd say it's down by the base of the tree.

Stretched out, about 2' long. Running from about mid-left, slanting slightly down in the photo, to about the middle bottom. I had to gaze at it for a while.
A tourism site? "Come to Branson, where the only venomous snake you will see will be the one hanging from your ankle."

Yup I can see him. But I usually smell them before I see them in the real world :-)

My deceased mother would have seen that from 2 miles away while facing the opposite direction!!! LOL She was deathly afraid of any snake. I say deathly because if you just happened to be in her escape route she would have no hesitation to kill you to pass you!!! I miss her.

Yep. But I spot snakes quickly, comes from going herping in the woods looking for them. Like spotting a school of fish in open water, it's a trick that once you get it down pat, it's much easier.

What Yvonne's Hubby said.
Spotted him right off the bat. It's a skill you get living in Missouri.
When we lived outside Jonesboro AR, we had a guy bale our hay on shares. He came back to the house and asked if I'd call his wife and request that she bring his pistol to him. He showed me a county deputy's badge to show he was legal to carry. He explained that he'd tried to kill a copperhead with his sickle bar but it kept dodging and striking at the machine. He said it would easily kill my husband, me or our horses because it was about 3' long and as big around as his forearm. It was a thick forearm--that guy was no delicate flower. Neither the man nor the snake.

For the ones that can not see it. I think there is a second smaller snake too.

I think he's on the right, sort of winding up the right side.

Yep, sweaty cucumbers, although the sweat part of the smell may be my inside alarm going bezerk and making me sweat.

So would someone show me the snakes. Obviously i would be dead by now.
We mostly have Bull, and Water Moccasin's (cottonmouth ? ), an occasional Blue Racer, no idea what that even is. I know the farmers wont kill one for anything. The Bulls that is.

Shot one this past springnear my mushroom logs and left it to lay for a couple of days- every time I went back to the area I would at first think - well something has eaten it - but then after looking for a few seocnds I would see it hadnt moved an inch. Copperheads are definately one of the harder to see snakes in the woods and the older you get the harder it becomes.
