Copperhead in the pool

(((I spent the entire summer swimming and wadefishing Citico Creek. Didn't see a single snake. I finally go swimming in a backyard swimming pool and a dang copperhead nearly lands on my shoulder. He was dead coz' of the chlorine, tho.
Good thing. They are more aggressive than the timbler rattler. While rarely fatal, their bites can cause a considerable amount of pain and necrosis if left untreated.
