Jobi,
I really didn't know what I was observing. Young wood rats would make a fine meal for the black rat snake and the copperhead. Were they just sharing cover, or was predator living with potential prey? I wish I knew. It was one of those weird things that I observed, but made no attempt to explain it without more data ..... which I could never get. The area became off-limits for herping.
I would love to hear if anyone else has seen this. Usually, when I have seen predators in the vicinity of prey, it was for feeding or an attempt to feed.

AH
