Hey everyone Im going copperhead and timber catching, I want to get some nice pics. Ok to the point... where should i check for eather of these snakes, under,around ect. thanks chris

Ok, first off. In some states it is illegal to harrass, possess kill ect. rattlesnakes. I am not saying you are going to do this but just lettin u konw. I am not shure what state you are from, but there are regulations. Second... From the sound of your post, excuse me if i did not take it right is that you are not shure of habitats for the two species. If you want pictures you should research on where they live. Third, most people wont disclose den information to people. There are many good reasons behind this. If the info gets out to the wrong person, that could be the end of the snakes. Some people will go kill rattlers, others illegaly collect them, ect. And lastly, u say copperhead and timber catching. If you want to photograph them why do you have to catch them. Have you ever had any experience with venemous snakes before. Bites can hurt. Trust Me.

DON'T TREAD ON ME

Ok i didnt mean it like that... I was kind of in a hurry... I should have said herping... just a spot pull out with hook get a couple shots and walk of. Thats pretty mcuh all im looking for. Second of all, Ive caught copperheads before, I know areas to look in ect and I have researched. Im looking for places that other people to prefer to keep and eye out and some good spots they have come across and what they look for. Although this will be my first outting to herp for timbers but hey there is always a first time and you know what im 15 so its pretty cool for me at such a young age to be dealing with hots.
