For 40 years I've been hearing, don't kill black snakes cause they scare off the venomous snakes. I do not kill black snakes but, I always thought that was a old wives tale. I didn't believe them when they told me mustard stops cramps either, I was wrong on both counts.

This was forwarded to me but came from a local. Is the victim a copperhead?

Killed a 3 ft ( yes three ft) coral snake in my front yard just off the driveway several weeks ago. According to my reading that’s about their maximum length, I had seen smaller ones around but this guy was big. I also read that they have discontinued making anti venom serum for coral bites and the last batch expired in January 2020 so be careful

From what I see,I'd say with 80% certainty that it is a copperhead. Seeing head from same angle as that of the blacksnake would alow 100% yes or no. Here you see two features shared by Rattlesnake,Cottonmouth and Copperhead. Pits foward of and below eye plus ecliptical eye pupil. No harmless snake in USA have these features.
