Coral Snake and Copperhead?

 

[Monty]

Correct, a coral snake and a copper head.
Both in the freezer for now. I'll skin and process them in a few weeks.

 

[Kenny Durrant]

Wow! What a gift. I like the dark red and the color on the copperhead is great. I hope your luck is much better than mine when casting. Can't wait to see the pens.

I guess its better than a road kill deer.

Coral snake...red on black you're alright Jack, red on yellow you're dead fellow! That's how we learned to tell a coral snake from a similar looking kingsnake.

I've heard it
Red and black, venom lack
Red and yellow, kill a fellow.

I don't do snakes... I know that most won't hurt me, but they are all likely to make me hurt myself.

 

[sbwertz]

I like snakes...kept them as pets as a kid....spiders, however, are a completely different subject. If I get into a spiderweb in the dark, I become an unguided missle!

Update on the snakeskins.
Finally got to skin and tan them. Should be able to start casting them this weekend.
