Though I've never seen a live rattle snake we do have copperheads, and the occasional cotton mouth show up on occasion. When I was a teenager I remember walking down a path through some really high grass and had stopped for a minute for some reason. I happened to look down about the time about a 4 foot long copperhead crawled across the toes of my boots. I was alert to the danger to say the leadt, but not really scared...still that was the longest 4 feet I've ever seen.
Beyond the usual caution and alertness for the poinsoness snakes, and the suprise factor when coming face to face with any snake unexpectedly, I don't mind the good ones like black snakes, king snakes, corn snakes, etc, etc. In fact I found a small king snake the other day when I moved something out in the yard. Then,, yesterday afternoon I turned around to to walk back into my shop and saw another one crawling across the floor. I had to move a few things to get to where it holed up but once I found it I simply picked it up and took it back out to the edge of the woods. I know that snakes are territorial and I have personally watched a big black snake kill a copperhead that came into it's territory, so I do my best to let the good, nonpoisioness snakes go their one way unharmed when ever possible.
