Yea, I grew up in the southeast and even today am careful where I step due to early snake influence. I actually did find it but probably because I knew the pattern and color.
When I was about 13, I stepped on one of those once. Thank goodness it was really early in the morning and very cool...I moved faster than the snake when I felt my bare(!) foot touch it. Scary!
Snakes don't scare me but I will kill a copperhead when I see one.
I almost stepped on one this summer.I was going into the barn to get some feed and just as I opened the smaller door to the barn ,I noticed its tell slithering under the door. By the time I could get something to kill it with he had slithered under the feed bin.
I still look every time I go into the barn now, I am sure he is long gone by now, but I still always open that door very carefully, and look real good.
Okie
I think I would have seen it in real life, since they are much larger than the pic. We do have them here. I disturbed 2 this summer while mowing. My husband dispatched the first. The second disappeared into a hole in the lawn, and hasn't been seen since ( That was at least a month ago.)
I will take them any time to a nest of yellow jackets !
Actually, the snakes are just as afraid of us as we are of them. I have a healthy respect for the poisonous ones, but like the non poison ones.

Exactly,Marian
I know that snakes are just as afraid of us, as we are of them,but I just don't want to accidentally step on a poisonous one.
I respect them too. But I will try to kill the copperhead's, if I am fast enough! LOL!
The non poisonous don't bother me at all.
Okie
I saw him, but had to look real carefully - AND I didn't look at the second picture first! I am one of those people who really gets into "Where's Waldo" though, so ...
