You have probably already guessed that we are talking about a snake that is listed in the Red Book - it is a copperhead, and it is an unusual vertebrate.
This snake is harmless to humans, but it will actively hunt certain categories of pests.
This is one of the reasons why some summer residents are in no hurry to get rid of copperheads, despite the fact that living next to any snake can hardly be called pleasant.
Let's turn to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Why copperheads should not be driven out of the area
Its prey usually consists of mice, moles and shrews; it usually does not disdain insects either.
Note that this snake is relatively rare and cautious. They love open and sunny meadows that are well warmed by the sun.
To attract this snake, you can use thick fabric, pieces of slabs or roofing felt.
These materials will become a kind of warming platform for the sun lover.
