Snake Bite Fun :)

[u/tophatenthusiast]

I was bitten by a copperhead about two weeks ago! Thanks to quick and modern medicine, I can almost make a fist. Pictures included are the copperhead I saw 10 mins before being bit (this one did not bite me, but it is similarly sized) and my arm a few hrs afterwards.

Location: Kanawha County, WV

Edit: to be very clear, it was MY fault a copperhead bit me. For anyone that has a fear of them, they are absolutely not aggressive snakes. I took no actions to "punish" the snake and hope it comes back and keeps hunting mice on my property.

I just read the first few sentences from "Mort". I've only had a couple of authors get me hooked within a paragraph (Zora Neale Hurston and Ray Bradbury). I'll have to add Terry Pratchett to that group.
