Catching a snake in a plastic bottle - GIF

[TrickieDickie]

When I was around 15 I built a volley ball net from used hay bale twine and stretched it between two pine trees in our yard. We lived in the middle of nowhere in BFE Kemper county Mississippi. My cousin, just up the dirt road from me, and I were playing volley ball and the ball fell to the side and I walked over to retrieve it. There to behold was a copperhead, snakes were fair game no matter what they were. We managed to stuff it into a huge glass pickle jar (no plastic containers back then), punched holes in the lid and my cousin Mike took it home and stowed it under his bed. His mom, my Aunt Arlene, found it and had a conniption fit. We were pretty pound of our catch but we didn't do that again....
