I had a bunch and I mean a bunch of copperheads hatch out from a hole under a big whiteoak. They were under my steps, in the yard, by our vehicles, everywhere. A few days later I saw a big ol’ speckled king snake by that white oak. I talked to him and told him he’d be safe if he was to stay around. I never saw him again, or the copperheads either.

A king snake will eat whatever they can catch and swallow. A lot of the time, that's a copperhead. But all native snakes are beneficial to the environment and should be left alone. Don't be ignorant, folks. There's no such thing as a bad snake.
