This is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen! It was photographed by my naturalist daughter, Christy, on a trail she was biking. I never, ever saw a copperhead with such amazing striped markings. What I wouldn't give for it's skin. I think it would be worth a lot for a museum. Christy should have put it in her pocket and brought it home.
The experts at the MDC say, "they seldom bite, they never kill." The guy who died two years ago from a copperhead bite must have believed them! I would bet this has never been seen, and likely won't again. If anyone has seen one marked like this, please let me know.
