[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 953235, member: 17767"] Unless you are in the southeast Ohio, you are not going to have copperheads. Also, the timber rattlesnake does not occur in Ohio unless you are on the edge with West Virginia. I did my MS thesis on herptiles at Morehead State University so I know a good bit about their distribution in our area (Ohio and Kentucky). Don't even depend on any general nature books for precise distribution. They are hard to pin down on distribution. For example, the audubon society book for amphibians and reptiles shows the copperhead all over Kentucky. Just not so. Go look for copperheads in the Bluegrass counties and except for along the Kentucky River they are absent in most areas. I have never heard anyone (not even the good ole hillbillies) say they saw a copperhead in Pendleton County but the book says they are all over the county. Where are you in Ohio? I am near Maysville, Ky which is just across the Ohio River from Aberdeen, Ohio. [/QUOTE]
