cmotherofpirl Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Did you smell anything in the basement when the snake was there? Copperheads and water moccains smell like cucumbers. They also have slit eyes like a cat. Milksnakes, regular water snakes, and hognoses all look like copperheads, but are non-poisonous and have round eyes like people I learned this at a young age after I picked up funny wiggly worms and tried giving them to my mother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Church Punk Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 AAHHH why did u kill it??? Snakes are good and they eat the mice and rats. If it was a copperhead though it might have been the best thing, since they strike if touched. Aret they just scary looking snakes with the blue slit eyes. I have had my fair share of coming across some friendly vipers before in the back country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard that copperheads and water moccasins smell like cucumbers. Where'd you hear that? I do, however, know that pit vipers like rattlesnakes, copperheads, and water moccasins have slit eyes. But I wasn't about to get close enough to see for sure! It was definitely a copperhead. I've looked at pics, and I can say without a doubt it was a copperhead. Besides, it had the triangle-shaped head that pit vipers are known for. The non-poisonous snakes you mentioned don't have heads like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call an exterminator and get [i]them[/i] to check for any more snakes down there. What if there is a whole den of snakes that you haven't found???

One summer for no explicable reason whatsoever, their house was overrun with hundreds (one estimate had it at 1500) garter snakes. It made the newspaper.
