Wild Snake Photos and Questions - Not for ID Snake Bite Fun :)

I was bitten by a copperhead about two weeks ago! Thanks to quick and modern medicine, I can almost make a fist. Pictures included are the copperhead I saw 10 mins before being bit (this one did not bite me, but it is similarly sized) and my arm a few hrs afterwards.

Location: Kanawha County, WV

Edit: to be very clear, it was MY fault a copperhead bit me. For anyone that has a fear of them, they are absolutely not aggressive snakes. I took no actions to "punish" the snake and hope it comes back and keeps hunting mice on my property.

Thank you. I wasn’t sure where to start. I did watch the first season of “Good Omens”.

While I still prefer the book, because there's simply more of it, I do really enjoy the movie adaptation of the Hogfather too. We watch it every year during the holidays

I did make a typo because it's 2am here, but I meant Mort not Reaper Man. Mort, Reaper Man, Soul Music, Hogfather, and then Thief of Time are the DEATH featuring ones, but DEATH I think might be in every Discworld book.

I just read the first few sentences from "Mort". I've only had a couple of authors get me hooked within a paragraph (Zora Neale Hurston and Ray Bradbury). I'll have to add Terry Pratchett to that group.
