I never looked at the pupils, but they all had the hourglass bands and triangular heads.

 it's important to actually know
 
 rat snakes, king snakes both keep copperheads away. copperheads are really bad poison. it's best you know what your actually dealing with.Originally posted by Nash B.

 Do the best you can with what you have.
 Be honest, even if it hurts.

 Had a rat snake on our porch the last couple summers. First one we killed not knowing what he was. he was coiled up, "rattling" his tail, and striking at everything. I didn't want to have to kill it but the kids and Katrina were not gonna let me just leave it be.
 
 After the fact i got in touch with a snake handler and he confirmed it was a rat snake and told us the only way to tell if a snake indigenous to north Texas is venomous is by it's eyes. All four venomous snakes found here have cat-eye pupils. Non venomous snakes from here all have round pupils.
 
 Next time we found one on our porch we left him be and it was gone in a couple hours. And we never have rats around either so i guess they're doing their job--Marcus

 What I HATE about copperheads is you can't hear them and you certainly don't see them. You can be looking at one 3' away and never know it.Originally posted by jyro View Postrat snakes, king snakes both keep copperheads away. copperheads are really bad poison. it's best you know what your actually dealing with.Originally posted by MR EDDU defend him who use's racial slurs like hes drinking water.
