To answer a question that was asked, no, I did not kill it. I think I might have injured it a little when it startled me, but as soon as I realized it wasn't a poisonous snake I didn't hurt it. Copperheads are very common where I live and I first found this snake in my hand as I was pulling up weeds, and didn't have time to check and see that it wasn't a copperhead before I threw it down. I actually thought about keeping it, and my daughter really wanted me to, she had even named it already, but not having any experience with snakes, and truthfully just not being very comfortable with them, I let it go in a field behind my house. I have to say though, I have always had a very negative view of snakes until this experience. It never tried to bite me and was extremely docile. If I ever got a "pet snake" I think I would get one like this one.
