the first little brown snake I found on my property made me go “errmmm…is that a copperhead?” I’m glad that you don’t kill them now. I have several browns and seriously, I only saw two slugs last summer in my garden. Go little brown snakes, go!

Snakes do not transfer well. The best you can do is create a good habitat for them and hope they show up. Rock piles are my favorite trick for this.

Thank you for posting this. Every SC spring we get some nice sized Rat and E. King snakes. They are so large even the kids can’t resist holding them for a picture or two. My wife doesn’t care for them, but she is happy that our kids are cautious but unafraid and she loves having no rodents.
However she always killed these little brown “Copperhead” fellas and had the kids do the same. I hated it, but had no proof they weren’t Coppers. I took several pictures of a little brown today and found this site. Thanks for the proof, and the great copperhead picture.

Just saw one of these in my garden, and knowing the good aspects of having snake around,I didn’t want to destroy it. However, I needed to know if it posed a potential hazard to my rather curious canines. Thanks for the info, and particularly the pictures.
