My sister lives outside of Rockdale and they are always killing rattlesnakes, copperheads, cottonmouth, coral snakes......and so do their neighbors. I haven't been there in over a year and when I'm there I walk around horrified. I don't see too good so that doesn't help!!!! Poisonous or not, if a snake bit me I'd die of a heart attack. They also have scorpions that get in the house. I just couldn't live there.

Now those little earth snakes, they are OK but geeze, they could look like baby cottonmouth? OMG

How fortunate the dogs and your FIL are. I don't believe I have ever seen a coral snake before or even a photo that was not in a book. I can't tell from the photo, but how long was that coral snake? It appears to be at least two feet and I was always under the impression they were very small.

Generally 3' is about max... we've had a few in the 30" range in our property, including 1 in the garage! Wife wasn't pleased that morning!

So my father in law is up to 2 rattle snakes, a copperhead, and a coral snake in his yard this year. 2 of his dogs got it from a rattlesnake last weekend. Both are fine other than swollen faces. The wiener dog had to see the vet though, he was in bad shape.

This was in the inlaws's yard, which is at the end of my road. It was under a bird feeder and next to the kid's play house. About 3 ft long with 5 buttons, looks like the tip was broke off. Wife called to come quick to kill it. I had to jog 1/4 mile down the driveway as I had the spark plugs out of my car. She says her and the kids probably walked right over it going in the yard and only saw it on the way out. They were only there 5 minutes.
