Disposed of a copperhead the other day while it was hanging around our basement door.
Got bored tonight and was doing some surfing in regards to copperheads. Numerous sites noted that copperheads will share a den with black rat snakes which brings me to my point.
I have been told that it is good to have black snakes on your property because they will keep copperheads away. So....
1. Is that false?
or
2. Is there a difference between a black snake and a black rat snake?
