Thanks all for the replies. The snake thursday was quite skinny and being released so far away I was concerned about its survival this winter. While copperheads are pretty and intersting, keeping one is not an option. My wife is not overly fond of the ball and short tail pythons I have, anything venomous would cause marital problems.
I live aprox. 35 miles south of St. Louis, If anyone would like to have any copperheads I find, I would be happy to pass them on. Most have been in the 15" - 25" range, but two were so small they still had the green tip to their tails, (which I assume is to help them catch lizards (though I didn't know copperheads ate cold blooded food) and one was the largest I personaly have seen @ 38"-40". I have heard they can exceed 4', but have never actualy seen any that large.
