If you want it.

Remove a water snake from a sandbar in the middle of the Chattahoochee River in the middle of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Center. Your contact is on a kayak on the river.

I want to get paid extra to remove the dead catfish.

Ah yes a dead animal removal as well. You know your add on services.

Rick, you joke but you're closer and I almost sent the guy your way.

The exclusion will pay the best:) I would also offer to reduce the reason the snake is there in the first place. Now where's my fishing pole?

Whoa, good fisherman. Or fishersnake? Lol

Aww, leave that pretty snake alone to have his dinner.....unless you tan snake hides. I know some folks who would pay good money for a water snake hide that long.

Your water snake looks like a cooperhead to me.

It's definitely a water snake of the Nerodia family. Either the northern, sipedon or more likely brown, taxispilota.

Here's a good reference site.

The caller thought it was a copperhead as well but from his description I knew it wasn't and the photo he texted me confirmed it.

That is a big watersnake I would rather deal with a copper head than the water snake they are so aggressive and that musk takes a couple of showers to get rid of.

Paul, you're just supposed to catch them, not sleep with them.

Paul I'll hold its head for you;)
