We also have Copperheads and Water Moccasins. Then there are Coral snakes which are the most poisonous.
Copperheads and Water Moccasins are mean and aggressive. One kept trying to get in a boat my cousin and I were fishing from. One fished while the other kept watch to beat it back with a paddle.

Skaterchick will return after snake talk is over.
