Jeffrey Wilkins never thought he would encounter a venomous snake in his freshly cut grass, as copperheads can usually be found in rocky or wooded areas.

I've only seen (and killed) one copperhead since I've been here, and it was right up against the house. For sure I've seen a hell of a lot more venomous snakes in California than I have here.
I figure being snakebit here is pretty rare seeing as this story made the news.
