Just wanted to say thanks for posting this up. I'm an Aussie and we have some really venomous snakes here, and I have recently started keeping my own snakes (Jungle pythons). I came her from another video where an American had a pistol and blew the head off a copperhead. It saddened me, because the snake didn't do anything wrong, and this redneck was wandering through the grass looking for it, and these people think they're dangerous? All they want to do is avoid you. Props for doing it right.
@cbr6864 dogs have some sort of resistance to it. my friend got bit by 1 and he almost died. my hunting dogs have been bit alot of times and they are just about perfectly fine.
Man I just spotted a Copperhead on my porch going down my steps. I'm in north-west, AR. They're pretty common here. A little too close for comfort, though ha. Very beatiful snake in person. Good vid man.
@coilstapped1622 That is the Eastern Copperhead... the differences are in the patterns... the Eastern has the Hershey kisses shape colorations/markings, which connect front and tail and break apart over the middle of the body, Western has the same markings but wider and not a defined colorchange in the pattern.. the Osage is a subspecies of the Western.. the Eastern pictured above is highly aggressive as a juvenile, but the older ones are (strike if they need to ) less aggressive.
when i was little i saw one of these swimming by the dock i was fishing off of. it scared the shit out of me. i dont know if it was a copperhead or not but it had the same coloration.
agreed. If a copperhead doesn't know you are approaching and you threaten it you are in deep shit , I have seen them chase full grown men off the dirt road and back into their truck. Lsoon here: Always wear good boots and jeans while in the woods. Never handle or try to handle a copperhead. And always walk with heavy feet, almost stomping loudly if you aren't able to see the ground clearly while walking in a wooded area. They will flee from the vibrations, it actually hurts them away...
@2mudvayne actaully, copperheads are pretty much as docile as a pit viper will get, seen tons of them and never once have i been struck at, even poking them with sticks rarly gets them in an aggressive mood.
i touched a snake once :) i wanna get one even though im casious of my friends one who is milked and has no teeth :) im gonna go ahead and get a rattle snake for my first
steve irwin almost killed me, after watching an episode of him wen i was like 13 i decided to walk around outside with a stick looking for snakes, all of a sudden i saw one fly past me it was a copperhead, went into long grass, i went after it and it turned around and lunged it reached my face they jump high as shit, to this day i dont want to ever touch a snake.
@fivedollerfootlong not to be rude but maybe steve irwin was taken out by god for making 50 million kids THINK that you can manhandle wild animals and not get hurt or killed.
@astrialkil Nah, i loved steve irwin, he always condoned every episode not to try it at home, that he was a professional, im not at all blaming steve irwin for anything, just saying, he inspired me to be like him.
@fivedollerfootlong:- "When I was like 13"....So was you "like" 13 or 13 or neither. How is anyone "like 13". Are you from a 3rd world country that has minimal education.......like...????
@LMck111 Calm down, jeez why am i getting so much hate from telling a story.. I can't exactly remember what age I was at the time, thats why LIKE was used, it was somewhere around 13 maybe a little less maybe a little more. Think before you talk...and lighten up a bit.
@fivedollerfootlong :- It's not hate, it's confusion. The terrible use of the English language is something that should never be accepted. You never read a book & see " I was like 13" it just comes across so stupid. Read it back & take out the word "like". Makes more sense! Also "when" & "I" need to be addressed. Finally, snakes do not "fly" & "shit" can not jump. Are you from a third world education curriculum?
@LMck111 No, I'm from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Sorry I refrain from using propper grammer and spelling when i am commenting on youtube,god forbid! Get a life you nerd, end of conversation. Go criticize a book or something.
@fivedollerfootlong :- Ah Ha.....! So you are from the 3rd world. its " I " not " i " when referring to yourself. Oh no...! I say when the ride is over..! LOL You're funny.
@fivedollerfootlong well a copperhead wouldn't have killed you, unless you were allergic, and isnt it common sense not to mess with venomous animals? like trying to catch a queen bee by shaking the hive xD
the Copperhead is a pit viper. The pits on it's jaws detect heat for a reaction. The 'snake tongs' this guy was using made the snake appear tame, but it's only because it was cold metal. Put your hand in and BAM. Heat sets off the 'trap', just like a rat. They don't snap at coat hangers
@nighthawk5556 if i had a dollar for everytime i've picked up one of these guys and not been bitten, i'd be rich. it all depends on how threateden the snake feels. if they're on edge and poised to defend, tongs are the way to go, or just leave them alone. one thats chill and not wound up, you can handle. for the most part, these are pretty docile snakes, but each situation is different. by the way thier pits are used to hunt food, not defend against predators....just sayin.
@licmy3balls didn't know that. Thought they were their 'infrared cameras' lol. Never tried to handle one cuz the last time I seen one I was very young. Never heard of anything more than a bad scar from a bite though.
@nighthawk5556 the pits are like infrared camerasbut thier use is for hunting not defense. actually aside from the fact some are venomous snakes are pretty helpless except maybe for constrictors.
Is there a nature-related reason (survival) for why babies are dark, and then lighten up as they grow older? Also, what percentage of copperheads survive long enough to become adults?
yes, copperheads are venomous, but they aren't as dangerous to adults as a rattlesnake. kids, elderly, and pets can be killed frop a bite. but usually you have to really PO one to get bit. the captive bred ones ive seen are gorgeous!
Snakes? I hate snakes. I don't take chances with any venomous animals. I steer clear when I can, but I don't want any poisonous one's near my house where they can harm someone.
Good on you for saving that beautiful animal and moving it to a more wild place! Too many people just kill copperheads and rattlers when they come in contact with civilization. (And more cheers for letting people know that playing with copperheads they find is a bad idea!)
I love how close the baby moccasins and copperheads look.. Also once I saw a beautiful water snake around 2-3 feet long that looked similar to a copperhead, one of the guys that lived in the area said it was a water band, but I cant find any pictures to positively identify that snake.. does anyone have any ideas?
@Tigerpuffer I live in Panama City, Florida, I've looked at all the pictures I could find but nothing showed up.. I was going to get in the water and grab it but I was concerned it was a moccasin. I did find a full grown moccasin in the middle of the road about a year ago, I forced my buddy to pull over so I could play with it then get it off the road so it wouldn't get run over.. theirs not alot of them left up there because they are killed on site most of the time
Probably a Southern Water Snake. Water Snakes are generally longer and skinnier than Water Moccasins. And good job not killing them :) I saw a small Water Moccasin 3 years ago in a swamp on the Babcock Ranch in Florida.
They are Venomous. There is no such thing as a poisonous snake. AND They are they have the mildest venom out of all other vipers snake in the USA. The only reports of death were from multiple bites and no treatment.
they can easily kill you. i mean yea its unlikely with all the health care and stuff we have, but left untreated would more than likely result in death
if by easily you mean multiple bites by multiple snakes then yes, you can die from them. even left untreated a single bite from an Agkistrodon contortrix (copperhead) to an adult in an appendage (hand, foot) would cause, at most, loss of that limb and possibly shock (which itself can cause death). the venom of a copperhead simply is not designed to kill in a way that the dose an adult specimen can deliver would be deadly, it has the least potent venom of any north american pit viper...
bottom line is it is definitely not more than likely that you would die from a copperhead bite unless you were really young, really old, or had an impairment to your person (heart condition, etc)
Very informative, it could really help people that live in copperhead-invested areas, I don't think they should be killed, just release them a couple miles away. I love snakes, even though I was about a inch away from being bitten from a copperhead once.
i live in west virginia so copperheads and rattlesnakes are a common thing but i was in the woods with my grand pa and the road we were 4-wheelin on a bright orange and black copperhead was crossin the road. but the thing is when i stopped to see it it raised up like a cobra and swolled its head.
i realized that like 20 secs after i hit post coment... but in my defense ive been dealing with snakes scince i was teo and can indeed tell the diffrence of a garter or ribbon snake
Seeing this video made me think of the same incident you mentioned, so everyone before you buy a snake or any pet for that matter do research on the animal for its needs/care and as well as knowing what you are getting.
these are very hard to see in leaves and are vary sizes tint to humongous. i almost stepped on 2 myself. dam snakes.yellowjackets are bad also. ground holes sting hell outta ya.
i realized that like 20 secs after i hit post coment... but in my defense ive been dealing with snakes scince i was teo and can indeed tell the diffrence of a garter or ribbon snake
great video, very informative. I was at a clients house working in the yard and saw one slithering through the play ground! I didnt have a way to catch it and she(client) was freaking out and offered a .45 S&W it took me four shots! I wanted to make sure it was in fact a copperhead, thanks.
We caught one years ago, didn't know what it was, just that it lunged at us and wanted to bite. Awfully pretty snake me and my friends thought. Many years later we went through the reptile house at the zoo and found out it was one of these!!!! LOL! We were a bunch of dumb lucky bastards.
those bastards have thick skin, i gotta shoot them with the .22 the bb gun wont work. I honestly dont like killing them but traps are more expensive than a bullet and im worried they will bite my dog or the little kids in my yard. I know the bite wont kill me but it would kill a 3 year old right?
Dude. You are seriously confused. You're comparing apples to oranges. Lets think about the difference between a venomous snake and a yellow lab puppy. Which one would you rather have nestled at your feet on a cold winter night or sleeping at your side on a camp out?
poison you ingest..venom has to be injected to get into your blood stream...if you drink poison you die if you drink venom you wont die unless you have cuts in your mouth
How come it wasn't in a striking position? I work for a camp were I have to catch rattlers and cooper heads, and when we release them, they always in a striking position, never seem one ha was so fond of human interactions....can someone explain this to me? thanks.
Great video. My son was interested in a copperhead... Im glad we found your video first, you had a great message to the young ens watching this video.
you never showed how to catch a copperhead. we need more details. where you got the trap. did you make the trap? how to make the trap if you did make the trap. how the trap works. throw us a line, here!!
Sorry, I couldn't stay out there for an indefinite period of time to catch it actually crawling in. I thought that I explained how to use the trap pretty well, but if you have questions please call us at 800-877-7290 You can order the traps as well, or you can go to the website in the video.
man i understand its all nice to let them go where nobody is but if i catch one of thenm bastards i shoot it with the shotgun they are around here and nobody likes em i we purposely hit em if they are in the road
The guy was shaking like a leaf (5:10...). He could have hurt the snake with all this shaking. Or maybe he's 80 years old and looks good for his age. Who knows.
copperheads are a venemous member of the pit viper family, along with cottonmouths and rattlesnakes. A bite from a copperhead will result in death if you do not seek medical attention.
A bite from a single copperhead will not kill you. It will suck. You may loose a part of a limb but you won't die. The only copperhead related deaths are from bites from more than one at a time.
Yeah I am deaf that is cool you catch snake I alway learn kind of snakes all time I have corn snake baby at my home but I alway kill snake with vemon too danger
You are right. The correct term is venomous. I used to make a big deal of it too, but after being worn down by thousands of customers saying poisonous, I have started using the wrong term myself. I'll have to be more conscious of that.
I hadn't noticed the shaky hook until I you pointed it out. I think it is a little exaggerated because of the length of the hook. At the hand end it wasn't really moving much, other than from me talking. As for grabbing it and holding it behind the head... I'll leave that to you. Look forward to your video of that.
This is a nice video but would you please let us know how you made the trap. We have a copperhead in our garden and can figure out from your video how to get a snake into a box or cage but how do you keep it inside? Why doesn't it simply crawl out after eating the frogs?
I really don't know how they're made; we sell them through the site that's shown in the video. And we sell the lure used too. Just call the toll free number shown in the video and we'll help.
We catch copper heads all the time we handle them in our church services. Jesus said these signs shall follow a believer taking up serpents Mark 16:18

Very informative, it could really help people that live in copperhead-invested areas, I don't think they should be killed, just release them a couple miles away. I love snakes, even though I was about a inch away from being bitten from a copperhead once.

you may have seen an eastern hognose. they are sometimes mistaken for a copperhead and they flatten out their necks like a cobra.

i live in west virginia so copperheads and rattlesnakes are a common thing but i was in the woods with my grand pa and the road we were 4-wheelin on a bright orange and black copperhead was crossin the road. but the thing is when i stopped to see it it raised up like a cobra and swolled its head.

Seeing this video made me think of the same incident you mentioned, so everyone before you buy a snake or any pet for that matter do research on the animal for its needs/care and as well as knowing what you are getting.

great video, very informative. I was at a clients house working in the yard and saw one slithering through the play ground! I didnt have a way to catch it and she(client) was freaking out and offered a .45 S&W it took me four shots! I wanted to make sure it was in fact a copperhead, thanks.
jbirg3 2 years ago
We caught one years ago, didn't know what it was, just that it lunged at us and wanted to bite. Awfully pretty snake me and my friends thought. Many years later we went through the reptile house at the zoo and found out it was one of these!!!! LOL! We were a bunch of dumb lucky bastards.
choirboyfromhell1 2 years ago
those bastards have thick skin, i gotta shoot them with the .22 the bb gun wont work. I honestly dont like killing them but traps are more expensive than a bullet and im worried they will bite my dog or the little kids in my yard. I know the bite wont kill me but it would kill a 3 year old right?

Copperheads are venomous, not poisonous, and it's a mild venom at that.
From 1960 to 1990 only 12 people in the US died from snake bite.
I commend the guy releasing it.
snakepunk13 2 years ago
not releasing a copperhead is like catching a beautiful yellow lab puppy....... then killing it.
OktoberForceAirsoft 2 years ago
Dude. You are seriously confused. You're comparing apples to oranges. Lets think about the difference between a venomous snake and a yellow lab puppy. Which one would you rather have nestled at your feet on a cold winter night or sleeping at your side on a camp out?
bigholmes95 2 years ago
What the hell is the difference between poison and venom?
bigholmes95 2 years ago
poison you ingest..venom has to be injected to get into your blood stream...if you drink poison you die if you drink venom you wont die unless you have cuts in your mouth
crowofdeath2 2 years ago
venom(like what all snakes have) will not hurt/kill or take effect if it didnt find a way to go inside the body.
Poison (like what some kinds of frogs have) will take effect by touching it
so venom needs injection, but poison doesnt.
thats why some ppl would drink venom and nothing goes wrong with them...the stomach acids breaks it down...

The guy was shaking like a leaf (5:10...). He could have hurt the snake with all this shaking. Or maybe he's 80 years old and looks good for his age. Who knows.

I noticed that as well after filming. It is really exaggerated since I was holding the hook at one end and filming the other.

dodgeram2500fan 3 years ago
copperheads are a venemous member of the pit viper family, along with cottonmouths and rattlesnakes. A bite from a copperhead will result in death if you do not seek medical attention.

A bite from a single copperhead will not kill you. It will suck. You may loose a part of a limb but you won't die. The only copperhead related deaths are from bites from more than one at a time.

You are right. The correct term is venomous. I used to make a big deal of it too, but after being worn down by thousands of customers saying poisonous, I have started using the wrong term myself. I'll have to be more conscious of that.

that snake hook looked a little shaky were u scared ? just grab it behind the head and hold it up to the camera.
skypres 3 years ago
I hadn't noticed the shaky hook until I you pointed it out. I think it is a little exaggerated because of the length of the hook. At the hand end it wasn't really moving much, other than from me talking. As for grabbing it and holding it behind the head... I'll leave that to you. Look forward to your video of that.
UsprayVideos 3 years ago
This is a nice video but would you please let us know how you made the trap. We have a copperhead in our garden and can figure out from your video how to get a snake into a box or cage but how do you keep it inside? Why doesn't it simply crawl out after eating the frogs?
Also, what is "just mice"? Where do you buy it?
Thank you for any help.
annadrew97 3 years ago
I really don't know how they're made; we sell them through the site that's shown in the video. And we sell the lure used too. Just call the toll free number shown in the video and we'll help.
