He is a rather large Copperhead. Very well behaved as well.

Awesome that you've had him for so long:)
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

Thanks Guys... My Snake is past a meter, never really measured him. Ive just kept this guy forever. I had a pair and the female died after 13 years, He has just kept on going. He has eaten everything from rats, mice, baby chickens, chicken necks and finches, a real pig!

That is a nice one! They are usually even tempered snakes and don't strike as readily as the other pit vipers. I didn't know they lived that long, congratulations on keeping him that long.
