This is a full grown Copperhead WV style. We captured it last spring in our back yard up on Honey Locust Lane. It was trapped in some nylon garden mesh we had on a plant, and after releasing it we had second thoughts about doing that. Probably should have put it in snake heaven, but they do control vermin population to some extent. The coloring is similar to the corn snake, but under close examination the head is not the same and colors are red touching yellow as opposed to red touching black on the corn snake. In any case, the watchword is BEWARE they are in the River Ridge area for sure. We have not seen another since this single capture.
