Yellowtail

Post by Smokyrider »

Came across this little guy at work today laying on the asphalt trail. Always seen adult ones but this is the first juvenile I've seen. Put him in a container and relocated him away from our work area.

He wouldn't have liked where I relocated him. Lol! I'm not a snake person.

He is a pretty one! If people knew how many times they walk past or over a copperhead in the woods and never knew it.... they would probably stop walking in the woods. :D
In the end it is up to the man what he becomes, and none of those other things matter. In horses, dogs and men it is character that counts. Louis L'Amour in his novel, Chancy

You're probably right, this one was on the Appalachian Trail, I'm sure those hikers crossover and camp around them all the time and don't know it.

In their house I leave them be, around my house they get lead poisoning.
