Thanks DMongm, I will try and be aware of that.

And thanks again celticvamp. I am going to print out color pictures of the Copperhead, Water Moccasin/Cottonmouth, Timber Rattler (especially!), and the Pygmy Rattler, so that I can instantly see what is what.

Snakes are sure varied and interesting, but I sure wish they wouldn't move into my house all the time (I have now put up screens on all in/out air vents, sealed all doors, pipes, and drains, and etc: After the 3rd indoor snake, my wife was about to move to Ireland!).
