Just beautiful, love the markings and the colors of this young copperhead.
I was in town when Fred called and said he found a snake in with the chickens. I told him leave it alone I'll be home a.s.a.p.. I hurried home and got my snake boots on, grabbed the tongs and snake hook. Thankfully it hadn't moved and I was able to put it safely in a garbage can. It was really passive. I moved it to the back of the property and it slithered on its way. Michael noticed it had eaten recently. It didn't get any eggs so maybe it ate a gopher or a mouse!
So glad my husband has learned respect for snakes and realizes that they are a good thing!

It is pretty but I'm not as brave as you.
Nothing brave here just didn't want it to come to harm Paula. It never attempted to strike at us at all. Just was in the wrong spot, I moved it to a better spot away from the house and pens.
