Great snake story and photo! Unfortunately in this part of the bible belt many people consider all snakes evil and kill them onsite. Too bad, such awesome and ancient creatures that play such an important role in the ecosystem.
I've had many encounters with poisonous snakes on our old farm, especially Copperheads and a couple of Timber Rattlers. As you said, none of them have ever been aggressive, just defensive. That said, a fully grown Eastern Timber Rattlesnake is an impressive and intimidating beast!
Copperheads do a good job of helping control pests including moles. I found this one sunning on the firewood, lens was the ais 135/2.8.
Great image you have posted of the Copperhead.
Thank you for your unbiased, accurate comment. Greatly appreciated

Glad you and others like the Cottonmouth image I posted.
