Probably a lot of Kentuckians down here already know this, but I've lived here over 25 years and this is the first I've realized it. Yesterday I saw a small snake and I thought that really looks like a baby Copperhead. And I thought to myself a Copperhead would be bigger by now since it's fall. After a brief research, I realize this is when Copperheads give birth - September.

So just a heads-up to anyone that didn't know, like me, watch for those little venomous Copperheads! Great for the ecosystem but not so good for the yard. That's the first baby Copperhead I've seen since I've lived here. I've seen adults but never baby.
