[Jolly Amaranto]

Years ago at the Armadillo Ranch, my son and nephews accidentally killed a copperhead while mowing one of the fields. They thought this would be a great educational moment for my youngest nephew. They picked it up by the tail and showed it to the toddler lecturing him on its dangers. A few hours later the little guy shows up at the back door holding a small, live copperhead by the tail. Fortunately he was not bitten.
