@togian755 they also have an anticoagulant which makes you bleed more when it bites you but not so much in humans

That looks like a watersnake. While not venomous it has sharp enough teeth and enough bacteria to make a bite into a date with the local emergency room.

@TomChair *Poison is secreted, venom is injected* lol, good vid and you're right, the serpent will forget about this encounter about 45 minutes after you leave. No harm no foul...

Can't people just leave them alone when they spot 'em?
This is the main reason people end up in hospitals due to snake bites you know,
Thinking they can catch a snake properly after watching some <Steve <Erwin. or something like that.. anyways; when you see one, just make a photo if you're desperate for it.
Dont try to pick it up unless you can identify wheter its poisonous or not.
And even then, it's better to leave it.
A mininum fatal dosage of copperhead venom is 100 mgs. Copperheads carry only 55 to 70 mgs. A copperhead can NOT directly kill a human being. If a fatality occurs it is either because the person bitten was strongly allergic to the venom, had alcohol or drugs in their blood stream, or experienced unusual secondary effects from the bite as an infection or blockage of blood vessels resulting in gangrene. Fewer than 2 percent of copperhead bites are potentially fatal; in 2800 bites are fatal..
