If we're talking about copperheads, here's a small juvenile from one of my greenway sites last night (caught at 8:41, air temp was 76, pavement temp was 78). he was a feisty little guy (unfortunately I only had my camera phone)

I've sorta half-read this thread and I've just stepped in to say those in defense of venomous snakes in people's backyards are retarded. I will kill those things on sight, there is no reason to have them hanging around.

Non-venomous snakes we let live around the house, although the cats usually find and kill them anyway. Venomous snakes are too much of a risk, and its not worth some faggot's feelings to let one live when Mom is scared to death of snakes and does a ton of yard work, and to have the risk of the dog being bit by the snake.

In short, Americans have an irrational fear of snakes. Why? I'm not sure. Perhaps because the species evolved in an environment in which venomous snakes were far more dangerous. Is the fear in our genes? Anyone know of studies on the subject? I bet part of it is cultural conditioning.
