Oh no not a myth at all...from someone who's trudge thru the mountains from this spot to that spot I can 1000% confirm this.I fully did not believe it either until one nite bout 1am walking back up a path few drinking buddies smelled like a shoney salad bar lmao..We all took off come up over this log and there's a handful laying there.It was dark we hauled ass but I've caught it 4 or 5 times in my life...

Sorry, but this evidence is kinda funny. So, you're drunk in the dark, smell salad, run away from the salad smell, and in a different location find a "handful" of snakes under a log, so you run home. Then 4 or 5 other times you've smelled salad while out in the woods.

Genuinely enjoyed the mental imagine of a couple drunk buddies running through the woods in the dark away from snakes, but I have to admit it's possible the smell actually came from a plant and you happened to walk through or by (which is accurate in my case) and you happened to come across snakes immediately afterward.

This isn't scientifically confirmed. I know a couple dozen herpetologists, some that actively research copperheads and catch hundreds a year for tagging and measuring, and they swear they don't. There's a couple that think they kinda do. A lot of other people swear they smell it every time they come across one. Our senses of smell are relative and individual. It could be a situation like the cilantro gene. Some think cilantro tastes great, others think it tastes soapy and terrible. So its feasible some may smell copperhead musk and liken it to cucumbers.

I've always been curious of this and largely disbelieved it. I have only once ever smelled cucumbers while out in the woods. I asked the person I was with if they smelled it and they couldn't, so I thought, "Wow, there might actually be something to this and there might be a snake nearby."

So I investigated. I found that we had stomped through a patch of wild cucurbits and it was coming from those plants and our shoes. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Just got settled in a camp. I got a call and that’s when the smell hit me…my girlfriend told me that the smell was a copperhead. Hence I got nervous, so that’s when it hit me to consult the experts that are VN for all things copperhead.

It is strange though, I had never ever smelled that before in all my years in the woods…

No sir, I stepped away from that position about a year and a half ago. I have been going to school. I got my associates degree and am working towards my bachelor’s now. I hope to become an LCSW after getting my masters and focus on therapy.

I got to learn how to do those parlays...I'm a neophyte with sport betting

I am too, lol. I just got really lucky to start.
If you're gonna bet, I'd suggest just making $.10 bets for about $10 worth of bets. You'll probably lose most of it, but you'll know how to use the app to make parlays and same game parlays, moneyline/spread, o/u, etc type bets.
