I have been keeping herps for as long as I can remember ( including hots ). I used to love to catch and keep them but I have grown out of that. My wife and myself love to take wildlife pictures and she wants me to take her to see some copperheads in their natural habitat. I have been looking for a year with no luck. If anyone knows a good place in Texas I would love to hear your suggestions.
Thanks
Josh

I have most success finding copperheads in wooded areas but in Texas i would say to look under old scrap piles or under logs. My most recent copperhead was found under a pile of old carpet. Good Luck!!!

Thanks I'll keep that in mind, but I was thinking more along the line of an area in Texas? You did help though.

MY LAST COPPERHEAD WAS LOCATED NEAR LAKE TEXOMA ON THE TEXAS SIDE BETWEEN SHERMAN AND THE BORDER OF OKLAHOMA. THERE ARE ALOT OF BACKROADS AROUND THE LAKE AND OLD ABANDONED BARNS AND BUILDINGS THAT HAVE ALOT OF DEBRIS SUCH AS WOOD DOORS AND TIN THAT COLLECT HEAT DURING THE DAY. MOVE ABOUT SLOWLY AND OVERTURN THIS DEBRIS AND YOU SHOULD LOCATE ONE. THEY WILL EMIT A MUSK THAT WILL NOT SUBSIDE FOR MANY HOURS. BEWARE OF THE HORNETS THAT ALSO LIKE THESE PLACES

Thank you very much, I will have to try that one of these days. You all have been very helpful and anymore suggestion would be great. Mainly I'm looking for Trans-Pecos but Osage would be nice.
Thanks

hey whats up. try finding them in dead tree stumps, the ones that are still standing. They wont be in the fallen ones on the ground. i just found two juveniles the other day. they were resting inside standing dead tree stump. pull the bark away from the outside and then pull the dead rotting wood away. you could get lucky.
