RPG Map Elements 68: Baby Copperhead

Format: .PNG with transparent background

I photographed this little guy last year. He was lounging on a wood pile where I take photos of fungi. He was a tiny little thing... could have
fit in my hand. After living in Texas for a number of years, I've become very wary of snakes, even baby ones. So I used a really long stick to
touch him, trying to get him to move into different poses. Unfortunately, he was really uncooperative... kind of sluggish and lazy (it was a wet,
chilly day) but he didn't like that stick at all and kept striking at it. After a couple of minutes he got really irritated with me messing with him
and slithered away into the wood pile.

I'd forgotten all about these photos until today. I was digging through my files, looking for something else, and stumbled onto them. So... he
finally makes an appearance as elements for your maps! And... I also Google'd him today and found out what he was... Yikes! Good thing I
was really careful. If I'd known at the time what he was, I probably would have dumped him in the woods several miles away. I have no problem
with killing large/adult poisonous snakes that we find around our house (if you have issues with that, go do a Google image search for
"poisonous snake bite" ), but killing little baby ones like this is something I just can't bring myself to do...

He's one of the prettiest snakes I've seen. I did some slight adjustments to colour (because my photos were a bit washed out), but the
original/natural colour version you see in the preview image is very close to what he actually looked like. But pretty or not, I really hope we don't
encounter each other again, or he'll have to go bye-bye... and not in the "have a nice life in the woods, far, far away" kind of way.
