My son spotted this female copperhead today at the TEB while picking blueberries. She and her eggs made an effective target for his 9mm Glock.

what a darn shame. These snakes have an important role in ecosystems, if you weren’t aware. More folks die from bee stings in the US than snake bites.
Since she was ready to bite my son picking blueberries, I don’t think I will lose any sleep. Then again, I will kill any copperhead that I see. Nonvenomous snakes are always left alone by us.
Thank you
Congratulations! send your Son here with his glock -- this is copperhead central.
How do you know she was a female?
If you look closely at the rear half of the snake, you will see white with a little yellow in two places. That was two of her eggs that were shot. The snake is gone now so a hawk probably feasted on any remaining eggs.
Copperheads do not lay eggs. Just a word of wisdom for you.
Copperheads are ovoviviparous, which means that eggs incubate inside the mother’s body. Babies are born live. After mating in the spring, females will give birth to “from two to 18 live young in late summer or fall.
Too bad all snakes aren’t so easy to get rid of…….
Maybe we should have sent her and her babies to Washington, D.C.’s swamp.
yes agreed but the idiots probably would consider it a terroristic threat

next time: harvest the skins and sell them to shoemakers. Copperhead skins really would make lovely shoes -- just don’t wear them outside during snake season. Yikes!
