Agkistrodon contortrix mokasen, Sand Mountain, Jackson County, Alabama 1

We stepped out of the canoe to check a cave lead and I immediately found this beautiful northern copperhead curled up on a rock. It never once moved despite the fact I used a stick to remove a couple of leaves off it's coil. For more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agkistrodon_contortrix_mokasen
