Thank you for your observations. A number of years ago my friend Joseph Laszlo at the San Antonio Zoo told me similar stories. He also thought the notion a real conundrum to study. I don't disagree and only report I have not first hand seen such. This year I will likely receive about 60 pictures of "copperheads" - of which only 1 (average from prior years) will be correctly identified. The rest will be corn snakes, water snakes, ring necks, DeKays, and rat snakes. It does seem the variations in observations, reporting, bites, and record keeping do not paint a consistent picture. Thanks again.
