A short trip to northeastern North Carolina to a junkyard we have permission to hunt snakes in. These three were the only finds which were late in the day. Mid-day temps had been 70, but evening was dropping quickly down to the 50s.
Copperheads are legal to collect in NC. The racer was chilled out in a shed and the little Red Bellied snake was a really neat find!
I almost got bit in the face by a copperhead. I had it by the tail and it did a super bounce right towards my face. It got about a foot from biting me. Just another experience to learn from :P

@SymphonicOasis a Water moccassin/Cottonmouth (same snake)bite is WAY worse than a copperhead bite. Copperheads and moccassins are related actually, they look really similar as babies.
Black Racers are not venomous at all.

which is more venimous, a copperhead or a cottonmouth? What is the best thing to do if you are bitten in the woods? I've heard different theories on this. I live in NC. My cat got in a fight once with a copperhead. I did not know what in the world to do. My cat actually killed the snake. I also once was chaced by a black racer snake. I was told it none venimous. Is that true?
