Just wanted to give everyone a heads up about recent copperhead sightings.  One of our teachers was bitten while pulling weeds in her yard and was hospitalized and just tonight a friend of ours killed 2 that were in the street.  So far these sightings (that I know of) were in the back part of Oak Hollow.  So just be careful!

If anyone sees more copperheads call me and I will move them out of the neighborhood. No need to kill them. I don't like the stray cats running around the neighborhood but I don't kill them. Like I said please just call me and I try and help. 469 583 2184

If you see any angelic beings with an axe to grind...run!

or Gorgothan s#@t monsters!!!

Gorgatron?

I will pass the word along if I hear of any. 

if you get bit then go to the hospital. they are not a highly venomous snake

The woman who was bitten spent a couple of days in the hospital and missed a whole week of work!  He hand is still extremely swollen and it was very painful!

Oh yeah and the majority of people that get bitten are the ones that are trying to kill them

She was simply pulling weeds.  She also has a small child that runs around in the yard.  Either way just be on alert!

pdc,

I was just teasing..I'm more likely to run over them, back up and run over them again..But, I'll do my best to call you first, before backing up that is!  Ran over one on my bike, back along the wooded trails in the back last summer, not sure which one of us was shocked more, the snake at my weighted introduction or me at the dangly thing trying to strike my leg, regardless, I still have flat and I haven't been back there in a year! 

On a serious note, are you "animal control" for the area? We have lived here for 5 years now, and short of two scorpions and an over-abundance of mice, I've only seen the one snake. Now we have had, what, 3 sightings and a bite? Could the construction have stirred up a "nest" somewhere in the woods at the end of the property? Just seems like a lot, kinda came out of no where?

Regardless, I appreciate your offer to help the community and relocating an animal regardless of how hideous they are is a very worthwhile and respectful cause..If they'd stay in the fields and weren't so scary to have around, they'd be great for mouse control!
