And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Nasty dispositions they got. Wife killed one couple weeks back with her garden shovel, it'd been soaking up the early sun right on the front door threshold, she said it was pretty sluggish, chopped its head clean off. Good girl!
It is a copperhead. Like all snakes, they are only "nasty" when threatened. In this situation it is best for her to kill it like she did. Just remind people not to touch it after killing because they can still bite for a while. Personally, I just remove them to the countryside or swamp. They eat cottonmouths and rattlers if smaller along with a lot of rats/mice. Gators eat a lot of them along with other swimming snakes.
Copperhead
ReplyDeleteSorry. But I do believe that's a copperhead. Also poisonous.
ReplyDeleteVenomous.

ReplyDeleteNo rattle on that copperhead.
ReplyDeleteBut they are quite venomous.
Saw lots of them in Fla.
