Sorry, guys, went to giggle.com, snakes of PA, snakes of north america, nothing is clicking, and i think they are all starting to look alike to me now! I wish I could have a clearer memory of it, It just all happened so fast & unexpectedly. If it is true about snakes not running away from people, that is so weird. Maybe it didn't see me, but geez I drove a lawn tractor right next to it, shut the tractor off, and was feeding & cleaning, probably for a good 10 minutes before it crawled right out in front of me (about 3 foot). I stopped in my tracks, or probably would have stepped right on it!
As far as type, local people's first response is Copperhead, so I think that sounds most reasonable for this area,even though my desciption doesn't match. Hard to tell from photos, are copperheads very distinct, gorgeous markings (can't believe I'm saying gorgeous & snake in the same breath!).
I HAVE to get this snake out of here, I have problems going back there at all now, and cleaning the brush in THAT kennel is out of the question. I'll have to try the trap suggested.
The worst part, my husband is legally blind, he can see enough to mow the lawn, etc, but would probably not see a snake.
