Oh, I don't hold the venomous ones without tools -- that's a no-no, despite television programs. I did, however, watch him slowly move toward a chain link fence and then touch his tail lightly with a twig when he was 2/3 of the way through. In typical pit viper fashion, he froze in place for several minutes after that. I thought I might buy some time to get a passerby to come along, but no luck. So I gave up and finished my run with great vigor!
-- They're by far my favorite snake species.
If I get a pic of one, I'll put it up here so the 6 members interested in non-fish wildlife can enjoy it ;).

I think you lucked out. Any jogger or biker who came across a sweaty guy holding a snake 3' snake in the woods would have screamed, ran the other way and called to police long before you could have even said, "Excuse me..."Still, I would like to have seen a photo of the snake!--Scott
Sent from my iPhoneWhile jogging around my 3.2 mile loop this afternoon I stumbled upon a 3', very pretty Copperhead slowly making his way across the path. I literally waited for like 8 full minutes hoping a biker or jogger would pass and would be willing to snap a picture for me, but no one passed! ARGGGHHHHH! (I don't carry a phone while jogging)--That's the 1st one I've seen since I left Missouri in 2007.I can live for a week on a snake sighting like that! Wow!So Accotink has enough wooded habitat to support Copperheads y'all.Gene
