Did you know that if you think you smell cucumbers, you probably found a copperhead?

Or a cucumber.......

I like cucumbers....when you belch 'em up a few hours later, they taste exactly the same as when you at 'em.

Can't sat that for copperheads......

So you're smelling the copperhead belch up a cucumber that it ate several hours ago?

One thing about DTR, you never know where or how far a thread will go. Six pages and counting and we've gone from IDing a rat snake to spiders to pictures of a huge snake in an electric fence to spiders to potato beetles to belching cucumbers.

At least snakes apply to common laws of anatomy. If I can kill it my taking off its head and tearing its body into five pieces, it isn't a problem. Patato Bugs don't apply to that rule.
Hahaha one of those buggers latched onto my pitbulls nose several years ago. To this day when she sees one she walks the other way.
