It sounds like this is a non-issue. So I take it the next time I come across a copperhead in my backyard, you don't want me to leave it on your doorstep? (After I drop my idiot dog off at the vet with his head swollen to the size of a pumpkin) They're surprisingly long up here in the Northeastern corner of the county, but slimmer than they should be. I think all the development is chasing out prey and starving them.)
