I just killed a copperhead ON MY FREAKING COMPUTER DESK

Seriously, you need to be looking for the other one. Copperheads almost always travel in pairs.

Edit: some people say this is BS but every time I have found one another is nearby.

I didn't relish killing him, I just had no other alternative. I love animals, but when one is capable of killing me, my wife, or my neighbors with a single bite, hr's gotta go.

The only good snake is a dead one.

Are you sure he's really dead?

How do you know he was alone?

don't freaking tell me that man, I'm sitting here, literally shaking just thinking that a snake was right here. I am freaking terrified of the things, I guess that I jst did what I had to do and didn't think about it. I think I found where he came in at, and I seal it up with about t10 layers of tape till I can do a more permanent job tommorrow.

Jeez, this sucks.

me too, but into my bedroom to grab my Remington 870 police special 12 guage with 00 shot. there would have been big ass holes in my walls, desk, computer blown to hell, as i came back into my office and started blasting away.

there would be no way i could sleep in the house, just laying in bed i would just feel it slithering over my naked feet ir up my leg...

It has always been my experience. Some people say it is BS and that the only reason you might find them in pairs is because the habitat will support two snakes and not because they travel together. Also during mating season males will follow females around.
