Water moccasins!

Think you nailed it, greg. Thanks. That sounds familiar from my youthful memories...

Not sure that is what I read last week.

Dang! I hate getting old.

Chicken nuggets... hmmm... don't even want to think about it... are you implying they are not the creme de la creme of white meat? Go figure.

Have a good one,

In Pennsylvania, greg, we have three poisonous snakes. They are the copperhead, eastern timber rattler and the Massasaugua rattler. The Massasaugua is a pygmy rattler, and seldom gets more than 30 inches long. I have seen timber rattlers that were in the neighborhood of six feet in length and as thick around as my arm.

Water moccasins are found mostly in the south. The northern terminus of their range is Dismal Swamp in southeastern Virginia.

Greg,

I have never known a water moccasin (cottonmouth) to be found north of Colonial Heights, VA., just south of Richmond.

I could be wrong though.

The most likely would be a rattler of some variety.

Have fun,
Phil
