POSITIVELY a rattle-headed copper-moccasin! No, really, I'm pretty sure
thats what we call a rat-snake around here, nothing to worry about if that
is it. Unless you do what my Dad did, dip a pan of horse feed up out of a
barrel, and one of them is coiled up in it - in a DARK barn with a dim flashlight!
The snake was well behaved, but I think it got away with pops.
