I shot a copperhead by our birdbath. Knowing one of the sistah's was coming by to drop something off - the children and I coiled it up at the end of the sidewalk! When she drove up she was honking and honking her horn!!
Hilarious!!!! We came out of the house smiling.
Glad everyone is okay, Cindy! That would be a very bad bite!!!

My mom killed a rattler that had crawled in the house and was coiled under the kitchen table using a garden hoe (this was in texas). Funny thing is she thought it was this rattlesnake plaster cast thing my grandma had had, she yelled at my little brother to pick that snake up and put it away... then it MOVED.....
Hate snakes, one good thing about CT is they are rare, but copperheads and rattlers are on the rebound, and heaven help you if you do much as give one of them a dirty look. The tree huggers will throw you under the jail.

Safest bet here is to just let it bite you....
I don't think so!!!! I really don't know why it fell like it did, but I am sure thankful the chair was between us!!!!!!!!! I have killed one in my kitchen with a pickle jar years ago. And met one in my shower, so I am very familiar with them. They usually run away as fast as they can slither.

YEs, Glad you are ok, My aunt Betty stepped on a copperhead in her backyard in Houston one night and it bit her on the leg. Luckily copperhead venom is not all that potent, she spent a day in the hospital and was on her way.
Did I mention I hate snakes? I was wlking with my daughter when she was about 10 and we walked up an a grass snake , that poor kid screamed and jumped so high I think she gave the critter a heart attack, that has been our only snake encounter in CT, and we go hiking often.
