Rare find
For me anyway! I had never seen a copperhead in Florida 'till my son Russ flipped this guy. It made my year so far!

Scott, I was in east TX. (the very little town of Waskom), and you're right. They are abundant there. I really hated seeing the locals intentionally skidding their tires on snakes "to make sure they're dead" back then. I believe I saw more copperheads than just about any other snake. What makes my finds significant is that they are only found in northern FL. and I had specifically set out to photograph one (or in this case 2) for my "Snakes of FL." album.

Beautiful pics. I'm in Texas also. I use to go out 4 or 5 nights a week herping when I was in college (Texas A&M) I could catch at least 2 or 3 a night. It got to where I would just move them out of the road and not even bother catching them.
