{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Crotalus horridus -- beautiful gem from SNP this past weekend! 9-6-14

I saw one in the middle of Skyline Drive a few years ago. I stopped the car and told my wife, 'Baby, get a stick' -- then stood in the middle of the road to keep people from running it over. It was a big snake. After I shooed it to the grass, a lady stomped up to me to yell that I could have caused a traffic accident, with her kids in the car, who did I think I was, all that for a snake. Some people are immune to the wonders of nature, I guess.

I've said if before -- but the Copperhead is one of the more beautiful snakes (animals?) out there in my opinion.  I love 'em -- but haven't seen one since 2007 when I had to move one off of the bike path in Springfield, MO.  It was sunny and cool that day.  However, this particular rattlesnake was a pretty snake for sure!  If you were a timber rattler in breeding condition, you could settle down with this one!
