un-educated bitch ?????? Are Doctors "un-educated"?????? How can a man be a bitch?????? People who resort to name calling when someone disagrees with them don't seem to be very bright. If you play with a snake and get bit it's your own damn fault so don't think I will feel sorry for you.

very nice, and very mean, very dead and hangin on outside of my barn if i see it on the outskirts of waynesville! BEAUTIFUL SPECIES!

I was all prepared to call it a cottonmouth (it's fat and dark like cottonmouths), but then I saw how it carried its tail erect. Looks like a timber rattler.

see that tail? the whole snake is one giant tail

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeew!
(I wish I'd taped the copperhead
in my yard a few weeks ago.)

i doubt that.. it would notice u way before u noticed it
Very nice Crotalus horridus, "black velvet" phase of the timber or canebrake rattlesnake. Where on the parkway was this? I'll be sure to head there next time around for a chance to see one of these pretties.

This was soemwhere around milepost 25 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, not for south of Waynesboro VA, the northern end of the parkway. I posted a video response with a second video of it. I can see why they call it "velvet" phase...it was really beautiful. You can see pics of it at my bike trip journal crazyguyonabikedotcom/journal/gerald

Mmm. I covet one of that color phgase for our exhibit, and I hold the appropriate permits to keep and exhibit this endangered species, but I won't take a healthy one out of the wild. I'll wait for a rehab case to come in, or a non-relocatable removal.
