Copperhead snakes are common in Virginia and rather poisoness. While recently uncovering the cover to the compost pile, I was greeted with the startling sight of momma copperhead and her seven babies. After jumping back a few feet, I ran for the camera to record the family photo. Here are four of the babies. Each one is nearly a foot long.
And here is momma, keeping a close eye on me. She's about three feet long. You can see why they're called copperheads.
