Description

This rapid is so named because I once found two copperheads that had been run over while copulating on the road beside it. There’s a small sieve in the middle and the left line is slightly undercut, so keep to the right unless you’re feeling froggy.

(Note: mileage is NOT accurate, but being used solely to establish order at this time.)
