How about a survey : I have seen cottonmouth at Ky., Barkley, Taylorsville. Copperhaed at Rough River. Rattelsnakes at Ky, Barkley and Nolin, also in Jefferson Co.
I’ve never seen a snake that was not poisonous and seven feet long.
BTW Harley you’re not right.

There are plenty of copperheads around Lake Cumberland and a few timber rattlers in the more mountainous areas around the lake, but there are no cottonmouths. I don't know what kind of snake the guy was bitten by, but if he had taken two hits from a cottonmouth this morning he certainly wouldn't be home posting about it on the internet this afternoon. I also seriously doubt that the Albany hospital even has any cottonmouth anti-venon in the building.
I have been told that many times before. I have to tell you this story.
When I got out of the Navy and drove cross country from San Diego back to Lex I had 2, 7ft long Burmese Pythons in pillow cases in my floor board. They were completely tame. When I was going through MO the male Burm had gotten out of the sack and I didn't know it. He went into the back and came around over my shoulder by the window. The funny part was the woman in the passenger seat of the car next to me happened to look over at me just as scootin along the base of the window. She about flipped out seeing this big snake by my head. Then when I grabbed him and started pulling him into the front, I thought she was going to have a heart attack. She was darn near jumping in her seat.
You'll be happy to know that I finally grew, got rid of the reptiles and got a Boxer. Best dog in the world.
Bradley Roy and I were fishing, in a little cove on Barkley, in the last qualifier and had one come up within about 10 feet of the boat. I HATE snakes, unless their cooked correctly, but he did not seem to fazed but we kept a keen eye on it as we "trolled" quickly away![]()
