	In the past 2 days I've seen two of the biggest copperheads I've ever seen. The first was at the entrance to my neighborhood, so instead of leaving the varmint to maybe hurt a kid in my neighborhood, I ran over the sucker. Then this morning I went on an ELF to run Edge of the World on the amicalola and saw another big copperhead swimming next to my boat. Thought it was trutle at first by then saw that disctinctive coloring. You guys be careful this summer.  Seems like they are all over.

Copperheads are not native to Georgia. They're scattered as a prank by AL boaters. <NT> ezwater New

Copperheads do much of their hunting in the water. <NT> davegg New

Problem is that they like to get out of the water frequently, like on a boat <NT> gh New

All snakes can swim.  And remember, the Copperhead and cottonmouth are first cousins. <NT> rroberts New

Raising peoples awarness about snakes is a good thing Will_Carry New

For a venemous snake in an area where there are lots of people, if it can't be... rroberts New

Found two snakes in the back yard today, slender heads, adult and then a little dude, prolly garters. GRITS New

Banded water snakes can look a lot like copperheads and are often killed unnecessarily. cravincreeks New

Are there c-heads that look more like that water snake? Because the color patterns in those two photos look nothing GRITS New

The older ones get kind of ruddy but the young ones look bright like a copperhead, unless you see a real copperhead ga_creeker New

copperheads have an hourglass pattern on their back, DangerJudy New

Thanks for the tip, that does make it easy if you don't have a view of the head (and who wants to disturb a snake GRITS New

Look up Northern Water snake. <NT> Will_Carry New

Better yet, google search "Banded Water Snake". and look at their range. Will_Carry New

The ones here go pretty far south. Leland New
