Again I'm not saying you didn't smell it or they don't smell like that. You also didn't quote the expert in the article, you quoted the myth that the expert addressed.

What the herpetologist in that article said was, "This isn’t outright false, but it is misleading.
“I’ve been around a ton of copperheads and I’ve never smelled anything close to cucumber,” Foley said. “I guess it depends on what you think a cucumber smells like.”“It smells different to different people,” Foley said. “To me, it just smells terrible.”

Which is basically exactly what I said. It might, it might not, herpetologist that I know who've worked with and handled them say it doesn't, but senses are all relative.

All I know is I’m telling everyone that it was a copperhead because it’s a better story.

FSU?... or Louisville😂

I know, I know, but the thought of him crossing the street to Louisville and annually beating that basketball school in Lexington where they disrespected him would be solid gold.

Yea I just quoted the myth for the salad punchline honestly...Left the link so folks could make their own opinions.I mean all snakes emit odor that's science but what u smell is more or less up to the sniffer I guess...Ive known a few folks say the same about rhe cucumbers and maybe it's got something to do with plants.There may b3 some plant species draws copperheads in at certain times of the year anyone guess..

I just know what i smell and see.We can all agree snakes stink like something when their offended just cause one zooologist dont agree doesn't mean its wrong just as what I've smelled and seen doesn't make me correct.Somewhere in between and I'll go back to it being up to subject of interpertation.You come up in the Holla will go snipe hunting see if we can't find us some copperheads 😉 ...

**I mean I'm not being a smart-ass but I'd be surprised if half of these people ever walked in the woods much less lived in them.Being I've seen and smelled them in daylight n nite time and actually seen a copperhead I'm fairly sure I know wtf I'm talking about...I guess if one wiggles underneath their condos or beach front property they can tell me what they think until then I'll stick to what I know..this wasn't directed at you SoilVol

Y’all think Danny White ever puts in athletic turf in Neyland? I wouldn’t hate it.

We had turf and switched to grass almost 30 years ago. POTS band practice used to be inside the stadium until they switched to grass. We used to throw the football around after band practice.
