You are very brave to have disturbed the snake with your broom. I'm not very brave when it comes to snake although snakes didn't scared me when I was a kid but our snakes were the harmless one.

I'm sure they would bitten if threatened but we don't have poisonous snakes like the Copperhead.

This is the third post I read this morning having a run in with a Copperhead snake and there was another one yesterday.

Hope that you have a nice Memorial weekend.

Snakes and I are not friends. Just can't warm up to them. I'm glad you're ok!

I grew up in the West so I have always had a fear of the slithering serpent. There weren't many harmless snakes in our area. Take care, sweet friend and stay safe.

hugs!
