Sorry, my bad.No, it said seven eighths of a foot, so maybe 10.5 inches?

No worries, you cleared it up .Sorry, my bad.
Definitely not trying to be a dick, but are you sure it was a copperhead? They don’t normally get that large/long. But I’m not saying they can’t.Haven't seen a golf snake in a while due to drought but I saw a 4' copperhead in very shallow but clear water (narrow creek with overgrowth) today. Did not stop to take a pic.

I killed one last night that was just shy of 2 feet long, and I thought that was a big one. It was coming straight at me, very aggressively, and I fortunately had my pistol with rat shot to take care of it.
It was about 10 o’clock at night, and I actually heard it coming toward me, rustling through the pine needles, and hit it with a spotlight, and then it started toward me even more aggressively. The smaller ones usually freeze when I hit them with the spotlight, but not this one!
The latest.
I noticed that. And I’m still not sure why it was so aggressive.
It was actually the “coolest”, as in least HOT, night we’ve had in several weeks.Heat maybe?
Nuthin a shovel won’t fix.I noticed that. And I’m still not sure why it was so aggressive.
Where in Texas, do “moles” exist ? I’ve seen lots of prairie dogs, nutria, rats, etc. but never a “mole”.My ridgeback is going crazy hunting moles. She lowers her head to the ground and intently listens. Then, she pounces on them and hurriedly digs like she has gone nuts! She has killed two in the last few days - that I know of.
Not reptilian, but certainly strange-looking critters!
All over the place. We have plenty of them in East Texas.Where in Texas, do “moles” exist ? I’ve seen lots of prairie dogs, nutria, rats, etc. but never a “mole”.

Have tonnes of the little bastards in our yard. They love digging and leaving behind their tunnels and exit holes. Neighbor's dog (natural hunter) digs the furry blind little bastards out and kills 'em. That dog also has a nose for finding and dispatching venomous snakes - so far this year he's lead to the demise of half a dozen coral snakes and a few more copperheads than that. Last week I was talking to his owners, they said they were out moving something in their new shop, saw the dog shaking his head whipping something around, went over to discover he was whipping a coral snake back & forth. Snake didn't survive that encounter. 95lb Belgian Malinois
