"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THESE M***********G SNAKES ON THESE M***********G TREES!" Have you ever seen the movie when it is payed on regular TV?
That line is changed to (And no I am not kidding): "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THESE MONKEY FIGHTING SNAKES ON THIS MONDAY FRIDAY PLANE!"
I've always wanted to ask Samuel Jackson how they got him to do that overdub. I couldn't have managed for the uncontrollable fits of laughter it would've forced me into every time I went to utter those words into the microphone!

Ya', but when it comes to snakes, I prefer to admire it from a distance. I used to enjoy playing with them up to about age fifteen. Almost didn't make it to sixteen. Got bitten by a cottonmouth after an "expert" told me none existed North of the Great Dismal Swamp. I was bitten just 10 miles South of D.C. Add to this the fact that in Virginia, the local (harmless) black snake population has interbred with copperheads, producing a venomous black snake offspring. As stated, "from a distance" thank you very much.

I had to toss one of these out of my fenced in back yard last week here in NC. The dogs were barking at it like mad, and it was coiled to strike. After I got him over the fence, he scampered across the street right up the tree in the front yard across the street. Boy, was he was pissed at me.....

Not sure of the exact name of it Could be a rat snake. All kinds of squirrels and birds nest in that tree so it has been well fed.
To: Clint N. Suhks
This time of year they’re after the baby birds which have hatched and are not yet able to fly. We have to put snake-a-way all around our plants where the birds have made nests as the snakes will crawl up and take the babies. The mother just leaves and never comes back.
To: Clint N. Suhks
I’d tather have snakes in the trees instead of these damn cicadas. It sounds like Star Trek phasers cranked on high all day, every day.

Less than hour ago, when I was outside, two Robins was raising hell in a small pine tree about 50 yards from the house.
I walked over to see what all the fuss was about and saw a snake at their nest.
20 gage #4 shot and snake no more.

"Add to this the fact that in Virginia, the local (harmless) black snake population has interbred with copperheads, producing a venomous black snake offspring. As stated, "from a distance" thank you very much." I wish I'd known that the last time I went out to watch a black snake undulate across the driveway. Thanks for the information.

I haven't seen a snake in years. But then again, I don't hang out where they do......
I used to catch garters and milk snakes when I was a kid growing up in northern Michigan and I vaguely remember seeing only one grass snake.....

How do copperheads, (live-birth snakes) interbreed with black snakes (egg-layers)?

All the dangerous snakes are easy to I.D. It’s something everyone should know, it would save a lot of senseless panic.

I had the same thought, but you got here first. :)

This was reported in the local paper about five years back, when I lived in Spotsylvania County. As the shrubs and trees (general cover) on the property reached maturity, finding big shed snake skins was common. Field mice were a big problem. I suspect that’s why the snakes took up residence. One shed skin I found would have belonged to a snake about as thick as my forearm, and about five feet long.

I also recall his character calling John McClane a “racist melon farmer” on a TV-edited showing of Die Hard 3.
To: PowderMonkey
Another myth, it's biologically impossible. Occasionally there are melanistic Copperheads, almost black in color, but none of the various black snakes were involved.
They can't put their tail in their mouth and roll down hills either, it's all just hype from people who are afraid of snakes.
