August through early October is prime time for baby copperheads in East Texas. They may be small, but they’re venomous and ready to defend themselves. Here's what to look for and how to stay safe.
I was talking with a friend a while back about the things we were most afraid of happening to us in real life, and she told me she'd had nightmares about being bitten by a snake while sitting on the toilet.
At the time, we both laughed heartily at the thought, as horrendous as it is, because although it seemed terrifying, it also seemed unlikely to happen in real life. So, when I read this story, it was shocking.
As un-fond as I tend to be of snakes, there's something about Pancho and Lefty who live at a Texas Zoo that makes me feel compassion for them...or, um...HIM.
