It's just a freaking snake. If it is a poisonous snake (highly unlikely) it won't strike unless it feels threatened. So don't be jumping around and screaming like a little girl.

Unless you live in the far eastern part of NC, it's very unlikely it's a water moccasin.

Still... would have scared the piss outta me.

Western NC is littered with cottonmouth snakes.

There are 7 poisonous snakes in NC and all 7 are found in WNC. The only one that is rare here and mostly confined to eastern areas is the Coral Snake, aka the most venomous snake in North America. But they are still found here ocassionally.

I guarantee you without any doubt in my mind that it's not a cottonmouth. It's obviously not a rattlesnake and certainly not a coral snake. Actually if anything it would be a coral snake.. but it's just not.

I find copperheads in my yard and garage weekly. (I just move them to the woods so it's probably the same few keeps coming back but whatever) but unless Fug (I'm sorry....Jakob) is full of poo again and it wasn't actually where he said it was, I can also guarantee it isn't a copperhead.

The snake in your house is a chill, harmless little garter snake or a chill, harmless not-so-little rat snake or something.

The only thing that snake will ever bother is the worms in your yard or the mice in your floorboards. You may never see it again. If you want it gone, be a man and pick it up. I get bit by snakes every day and it's only because my hand gets covered in fish guts.. it rarely and barely even draws blood.

Or be a complete girl and kill it, whatever.

Rarely are any cottonmouths in the piedmont region/west.

 

Confused a lot by another water snake with pattern.  Where I'm going this weekend....THOSE are moccasins.  They are relatively short...some long but very fat and a big ole head.  I'll be near Winton, NC on the Chowan River.  Hatem.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Carolina Panthers R1 (1): QB Bryce Young, Alabama R2 (39): WR Jonathan Mingo, Ole Miss R3 (80): EDGE DJ Johnson, Oregon R4 (114): G Chandler Zavala, NC State R5 (145): S Jammie Robinson, Florida State Day 1: Carolina moved up to No. 1 overall and secured their potential franchise quarterback. Despite concerns about his size, Young was the top QB on the PFF big board, and his 92.9 passing grade led all players at the position over the past two seasons. Day 2: Mingo was one of the biggest risers in the pre-draft process and finds himself in Carolina to team up with top pick Bryce Young. While his production in college was spotty, he has a good blend of size and athleticism to like his fit here with the Panthers. Not to mention, he flashed often on tape between unbelievable body adjustments and clean wins at the line of scrimmage. This is one of the bigger reaches so far based on the PFF big board, with Johnson coming in at 237th overall. The Panthers are taking a swing on Johnson’s athleticism on the edge (4.49-second 40-yard dash at 261 pounds). He’s a 24-year-old prospect who recorded fewer than 50 career pressures on 786 defensive snaps in college. Day 3: The Panthers have invested in improving their offensive line over the last several seasons and continue to do so with Zavala here. He played just over 1,000 snaps in the FBS but earned an 86.5 PFF pass-blocking grade last season and adds some explosiveness to the interior of their offensive line. Carolina adds another defensive back for new defensive coordinator Eviro Ejero to deploy in a deep secondary unit. Robinson’s 16.0% forced incompletion rate illustrates his playmaking ability at the catch point when targeted. He plays fast, but that sometimes results in a missed tackle, with his 7.4% missed tackle rate on the high side. DRAFT GRADE: B+

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      CAROLINA PANTHERS R1 (6) — G Ikem Ekwonu, NC State R3 (94) — QB Matt Corral, Mississippi R4 (120) — LB Brandon Smith, Penn State R6 (189) — Edge Amare Barno, Virginia R6 (199) — T Cade Mays, Tennessee R7 (242) — CB Kalon Barnes, Baylor Day 1: The board couldn’t have fallen much better for Carolina, with all three of the top offensive tackle prospects still on the board. The Panthers opted for the top run-blocker in the class in Ekwonu. The N.C. State tackle earned PFF run-blocking grades above 85.0 in all three of his college seasons, with grades above 90.0 in each of the last two years. It’s worth noting that the Panthers didn’t trade back to add another pick or two, given that they aren’t on the clock again until the fourth round. Day 2: Corral wouldn’t have been a good pick in Round 1, but he provides value late on Day 2. Corral’s offense at Ole Miss made his projection to the NFL a little more difficult, as it was full of RPOs and simplistic reads. Despite the quarterback-friendly offense, Corral was consistently on time and delivered accurate throws while showing off an exceptional deep ball. Corral’s 2021 season took a nosedive midseason due to injury. His 91.1 PFF grade through Week 7 was the fourth-highest in the FBS, but that mark fell 20 grading points to 70.6 from Week 8 on. Day 3: Smith is an athletic project, but he’s a project well worth taking at this stage of the draft. The production profile isn’t overly impressive. Smith earned PFF grades below 60.0 in each of the last two years at Penn State. But the NFL is always going to look for 6-foot-4, 250-pound linebackers who test above the 90th percentile in the 40-yard dash, broad jump and short shuttle. Now, the Panthers just need to figure out how to use him. Draft Grade: A
