Copperhead, I don’t think we have them out here; I’ve never seen one. We do have tons of Western Diamondbacks, massasaugas, and Pygmy rattlesnakes.
LOL not a big one?!

They have a note above the distro map that when you click it, they explain why it’s jacked up. They don’t show Massasaugas and Pygmy’s in our area but I see more of those than diamondbacks. They have almost all of Caddo county without diamondbacks but probably the most famous rattlesnake roundup is in Apache.
Now that I think about it, the only copperheads that I’ve seen were in northern Comanche county. I didn’t know that fact. I’ve got property up around Saddle Mountain, and they are definitely around that area which is almost to the Comanche/Caddo line. There was an old Comanche named Ike Johnny that lived near my property. He lived there most of his life, and there was a natural spring about a half mile from his house. He hauled water from that spring on a daily basis because he didn’t have running water in his house. He told me to be very careful when I was down by the spring and creek because the copperheads are thick in there. He wasn’t lying. I’m going to cut some trails along the creek this winter, but I’m not going near it until we get our first freeze.
Even that map is wrong. I was born and raised in AZ and they go all the way to Utah and then some
