Dug this up today.....
« on: April 02, 2012, 09:54:53 PM »
.....cleaning up a bunch of old logs/leaves. 
 
 
 
 
 Scared the shit out of me because I had flipped a log over & didn't notice him right away.  I was stepping all around him.  Good thing he wasn't up to temp or he'd have nailed me.  I killed him as there were about a dozen kids playing nearby & didn't have a good spot to release him anywhere distant.  I don't usually like to kill snakes, but I didn't want to take a chance with a Copperhead.

He was about 18 inches.  They don't usually get very big, maybe 28 inches. 

However, I found one about 7 years ago that was almost 5 feet!  He was a monster.

It's really too bad you had to kill it, but very understandable.  How did it taste? :D

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

...it could have been the larger one you talked about. Personally I don't want to get too close to that snake even though I used to have a few as pets.  ???

Kingman, by chance do you happen to remember smelling cucumber before you discovered the Copperhead ? I was always told that if you smell cucumber out in the woods to watchout because there's a Copperhead around.........

Just curious Kingman to see if you recall that, or not ? I'm glad you're ok.-------Bill
