Last night Joe and I entertained Dr Gordon Schuett at our building. Gordon is the world’s foremost authority on Copperheads and one of the foremost authorities on North American pit vipers in general. Gordon is currently the Curator of Herpetology at Zoo Atlanta and Adjunct Professor of Biology at Georgia State University. He has been publish in over 50 scientific journals and written and edited numerous books, including
Biology of Vipers . Currently he is researching genetics of North American pits for re-classification. He has produced some fascinating research. At the conclusion of this study, the Canebrake will once again be recognized as a sub-species, if not its own species. Also the cottonmouth will be divided into at least 2 species and perhaps even 3.
