We had a rat problem at the cabin.......now we have a snake problem.  My buddy killed a 4 foot copperhead last weekend and out came her 6-8 youngins.  This happened next to the cabin.  Lots of shed snake skins inside.

Guess where Im going in about 4 hours....

I rarely see snakes coz I make sure they know I'm there.

Dont surprise them and they wont surprise you is my FHE.

... none of our snakes.... rattle.

There have been  rattlesnake sightings down there. Always in the woods.

The copperheads are much more visibly prevalent.  I think they are fattening up for winter hibernation.  Problem is they've discovered that a semi warm cabin is much more comfortable than a chilly woodpile......especially when catered with mice/rats.

Rattlesnakes are getting all stealthy now!

There are few things more chilling than the sound of a nearby rattlesnake. That distinctive sound serves as a warning that trouble could be on the way. The only thing worse than hearing a rattlesnake within striking distance â€" is not hearing it at all. A herpetologist in South Dakota's Black Hills has discovered a growing number of Prairie Rattlesnakes with atrophied tail muscles; he believes it's a genetic issue that multiplies because those snakes that can rattle usually end up being killed. But others think the situation could be an evolutionary development to avoid detection.

Dunno availability/cost/legality, but these seem to do OK with snakes:
