Copperheads in TEXAS .......

[riverbowman]

We live on a creek and they are thick. My dog got popped twice.

Never seen one in my life ha

They're all over Grayson and Fannin county. My 8 month old yellow lab got bit in the face by one about a month ago.

We’ve had a ranch in NE coleman county for 25+ years and never seen one, but I know they are in other areas of the county.

We had them more than rattlesnakes at our Coleman lease near Burkett

14 in one night. I was looking for em though.

When I had Bird Dogs I would get one or two bit a year by Copperheads in the Kennels I think they liked the concrete.

I think it's mostly because they rely on their camouflage to hide them until danger passes. Same way with Timber Rattlesnakes. Every one of them I've seen and handled were more docile than a lot of non-venomous species. You'd literally have to try to get bit. They get stepped on because of it.

Most snakes are gonna try to get out of the way. They don't seem to all the time especially if they're curled up waiting on food.

I’ve got video of trying to get a copperhead to strike me and he just wouldn’t do it.

That’s crazy. I can’t be more than 3-4 mi from Burkett off of 206 & CR 174. Maybe they stay closer to Pecan bayou & Jim Ned creek, although we have a creek that stays wet most years (Wilkerson branch)

We don't walk in our back yard after dark without a light, ever! Or at least, ever when it's not dead of winter. Kill anywhere from a couple to ten each year in the immediate back yard.

Yep. Growing up in East TX, I couldn't even begin to count how many I've seen or killed. Walking outside after dark barefooted when the cicadas are singing is a good way to get bit.

Copperheads settled down here in the North TX Cross Timbers a long, long time ago. They think they still own the place, and have a bad attitude when humans crowd them.

X2 on wear shoes at night, they bite.

[Native Texan]

Got bit by a small one on the last joint of my middle finger when I was a teenager. He injected a full dose of venom. Blew the joint out and left it crooked with a lot of scar tissue. Most intense and lasting pain I ever felt.

[MUZZYSLINGR]

we've got lots in E Texas. My wife was struck twice on the hand last year while gardening. Spent a week in ICU!

Sorry to hear this, I hope she’s doing better.

This thread has inspired me. I believe I’ll go snake hunting tonight.

I grew up on 4 acres in Conroe, Tx.
My brother and I would sometimes go roaming around at night looking for copperheads.
One night we killed 14.
