Who did that old country song about Spiders & Snakes?

Remember that?

Well, that is me in a nutshell.

I do not like highly venomous spiders or snakes one little bit.

Ok, I was just told, by my dear pastor friend Scott McCown, that it was country artist Jim Stafford in 1974.

You know, that sang that song about spiders and snakes.

By the way, the last time I reported a snake story, I got yelled at by a bunch of folks.

I know they were yelling because THEY USED ALL CAPITAL LETTERS!

See what I mean?

Many folks went on and on about how great, wonderful, and valuable these highly venomous snakes in Alabama are for our natural resources.

Ok, fine, but I still do not want them anywhere near me.

These snakes are so good at hiding in plain sight.

Last night, my friend in Alabama who works for the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Wildlife Division, sent me a photo of three highly venomous copperheads lying in the grass.

It is so scary because it took me over an hour to find them in the photo.

These things are pit vipers and pit vipers are all bad in my humble opinion.

Please don't comment on how wonderful they are and all like that.

I know they help control the population of other bothersome critters. I get it.

However, check this photo out and tell me if you see the THREE copperheads staring back at you.

 

Are ya ready for this?
