I’ve seen 4 copperheads in the last week while I’ve been out walking the food forest or out picking blackberries.
Definitely scared the shit out of me. That said upon doing a little research found out that they are pretty docile snakes and can also dry bite as a warning if feeling threatened.
The ones I saw were right by my feet so I’m lucky they felt somewhat non-threaded. Most of my neighbors kill them but I’m creating habitat and they are a key part of the ecosystem by keeping the rodent populations in check.
As a takeaway, I mowed all my paths to make sure I don’t have to walk through the tall grass.
