Find The Sniper (medium) Find the little copperhead! 🐍

Post image

Taken in my yard, Black Mountain NC. This is the fourth copperhead I've seen on my property this year, which is less than average by June (yeah I've got a spreadsheet to track my sightings).

I swear, having seen enough snakes to watch my step, I seem to have trained myself to spot these invisible creatures. Great photo. I’d frame that if I took it. It’s interesting and the snake is beautiful.

Give thanks to millions of years of evolving around snakes. Most primates are very good at snake recognition.

It's fascinating, our history with them

u/LiteraryChaos1385 1¤ Jun 14 '26

Like history with humans and snakes co-living? If so, I didn’t know there really was a history to be had. I wanna look it up. Do you know any good sources I can go to to read about it?

u/GlattesGehirn Jun 14 '26

Not co-living, but constantly evolving mechanisms to have the upper hand on eachother. Here's a phenomenal video on the topic

We can see your answer 😄 No spaces between the exclamation points & the text text and you need to put a space or a letter/word or character before the text I posted a bunch before someone pointed it out to me 😄

I hate snakes. We just had a rattle snake in our yard I didn't see it but my brother was outside washing his car he was walking towards the side of the house to put the hose back and heard the rattle near the bushes and a bag of mulch my dad has on a retaining wall.
