Headless Copperhead

I went out to the chicken coop tonight to lock the birds up and remembered seeing some eggs that they had laid in the lean-to behind the coop.  I was getting ready to climb up and get them off the straw when I looked down and saw a nice Copperhead smiling at me.  Unfortunately for him, in addition to straw, that is where I keep my garden tools.  A few seconds later and one whack with the edger it's bye bye head.
