Copperhead capture/relocation

[natsamjosh]

A friend down the street called me last night to tell me their was a copperhead on his neighbor's lawn. (I'm the "snake guy" in my neighborhood.) I went down the street to find about 5 families standing in the street, looking at the snake. It actually was a copperhead, and a really nice one at that. Anyway, long story short, after a few minutes I was able get the snake into a styrofoam cooler. Copperheads are easy to catch, since they tend to freeze when scared, but at the same time are very reluctant to strike/bite unless you really annoy them. That also makes them great photography subjects!
