Ed,
I took the liberty of looking up Copperheaded Rattlemocassin and found the following information.
Copperheaded Rattlemocassin: Scientific name; "Frightenicus poopinensius". Prefers warm stagnant waterways, original range from Hico, Texas north through East Central Indiana and some embedded populations near Malinta, Ohio. Extremely dangerous and venemous. Once considered extinct, it now thrives in man-made ponds throughout North America. Primary forage is Aquamax Grower 600, tilapia and white amur. Only means of eradication is to prepare an aluminum sulfate/gypsum mix and apply liberally throughout pond. Show extreme caution around this species.
