Disappointing snake hunt
I stopped at a rest area in the mountains of North Carolina today and they just happened to have a few trails for walking. I uh.... accidentally stumbled off the beaten path and figured that on a 75 degree sunny Sunday afternoon I was sure to find a copperhead or two.
I walked around in those crazy woods for about half an hour. It was perfect Copperhead country too. Lots of log-piles and crates and all kinds of stuff to look under and I didnt see one single snake, dang it!
I just got back from Florida and while I was there, I went herping in the woods behind the house nearly everyday and all I managed to find were a few skinny black snakes that took to the bushes as fast as lightning whenever they saw you. I tried to catch one of the bigger ones, but every time I got close, he turned and tried to strike me. I havent tried to find out what kind they were yet. I'm thinking maybe just a racer.
Oh well, maybe next time.
