I would have been bitten.

Having grown up in Gerogia I spotted it straight away but only one of my kids could see it in the picture.

I was poking around a pond one day and was going ever so carefully into some brush about 2 ft from the water when the ground that I was stepping down onto MOVED! Even going slow and looking right where I was placeing my feet I almost stepped on the biggest water moccasin (sp?) I have EVER seen!!! Thankfully she just moved off but even watching her closely I lost sight of her from no more than 5 ft she was so well coloured to blend in.

Great picture, I just love snakes

Man, that was like "Where's Waldo". Almost makes me glad that we only have eastern rattlers...at least you can hear them so you can run off screaming in the opposite direction.

10'ish years back, my next door neighbors was bit. (Copperhead, N.E. Tenn. Appalachians, Big Butt Mountain). He was a Vet and went to the local Vet. Admin. Hospital. They did not know what to do for him right off? They called the poison control people. They, and he learned that the serum was just as harmful as if not used (through studies/incidents happening to military folks). So NO serum and the next 7 days was heck, as he had projectile vomiting and projectile diarrhea. He said that his leg ballooned up so bad you couldn’t tell the knee and ankle from the thigh. 2 months later he still had a bad limp.
He said it sure was amusing when he girlfriend came through the hospital with a bucket and the snake (dead of course) in it, for identification. She said no one came within 20 ft of her…..

WOW, I guess my eyes are getting bad. Even after I had to cheat I could still barely see it back on the first picture.

I do not do well with snakes at all. I got all creepy out just looking at the picture.

I had to cheat to see it, too. I would have probably stepped on it and kept on going without knowing what I just did.

Absolutely unbelievable!

I looked for about 2 minutes, and still didn't see him!!!

It wouldn't have to bite me to kill me, because it would have scared me to death to step on that thing!!!!!!!!!

It's natural camo is unbelievable!!!! How many of those have I encountered in my life without ever seeing them?

Clove

Wow-I would have been bitten too!

I would have been bit. I grew up in rattlesnake country and we always had to carry sticks to 'rattle' the grass in front of us when we walked (that saved us a time or two)... But I still couldn't find the snake in this picture. No one here did.

The folks that own land next to me once told us to watch out for copperheads that their property is full of them. Now they ask have we seen any yet, and I reply "No we ain't seen any". After looking at these pictures, It seems I'll get bit before I EVER SEE ONE If I won't looking through these bifocals,I wouldn't have seen the one with the line around it. Eddie

Took me way too long and I still dunno wherethe head is. Will see how DD8 does, and then tell her THAT's why she can't go into the 'den' in the woods without boots.

had a cousin once cleaning out his baler an reached in to pull out a clump of hay an said it felt like a red wasp stung him when he pulled his hand out he had a 2 to 2.5 foot copperhead hanging from between his thumb an forefinger ..........spent a week in hospital his fingers swelled up like polish sausage an split down the sides before he was finished in there...........since I been running guineas here we very seldom see snakes anymore this year with losing so many guineas to owls an such seen more snakes than we have in years.....I plan on turning lots more guineas loose this spring

Me neither. I'm glad we don't have snakes here. Tho a cute little garter snake would be nice.

Took me a while to find him too...there again I almost stepped on a massassauga at our old house last summer.

We got em here and this is the
time of year they show up.
Yall watch out. They disappear
in fallen leaves.

Thank you, God! No poisonous snakes in Idaho.... Grew up with rattlesnakes and Mojave Greens (rattlesnakes without rattles, and usually bigger) and the occasional side winder, not to mention black widows and tarantulas.

LOVE living in North Idaho! I could never rest easy with my children playing outside in the trees/bushes all day.

P.S> My DD found it - great camo.

I easily found the body but I can't make out which end is the head and which is the tail.

That was fun! I finally found him after about 90 seconds. He sure blends in with the environment. I lived in WV and MD where there are plenty of these critters. I haven't seen any in MT I don't think they live here.
Thanks for sharing. Patsy
