im going to pin this comment so i dont have to keep explaining this to ppl lol "supposed to be here" was the wrong way to say it, what i meant by it was that they are not known to be found in this part of the county hence the rangers never seeing one, animals do not simply exist everywhere within their native range, in some parts of it they can be completely absent and in other parts they can be the most common animal found, in this specific area of the county they are not on record as being common or even existing at all in smaller areas like where i was until now hence this being the first record of one

Yes! Having him lie down is just wrong! If there's one, there's often a mate! The grassy area next to where he was laying could have had another & bite him in the neck. No! Sitting is better for a person scared & possibly short of breath. And only after she has checked the area around him with her stick!

She’s a cashier at the grocery store and she now says “thank you, have a nice day, watch out for those copperheads.” Education is everything. These snakes rely on camouflage so they don’t move until you are too close, and they blend in with everything.

I grew up in Northern Virginia and have seen Copperheads many times, even along the Potomac River in Great Falls (which is the border between Virginia and Maryland). Though they are venomous pit vipers, they are generally not fatal, I think they're the 'least venomous' of the venomous snakes found in North America. The Copperheads are also known to deliver 'dry bites' more often than other pit vipers. However, their if they do deliver venom, it can be damn painful and can land you in the hospital for an overnight stay just to mitigate the pain from what I've heard. They are also EXTREMELY well camouflaged. As you see in the video, that snake was right on the trail. Glad this worked out for you. Professional staff too.

A lot of people can't identify what kind of snake bit them. So I can understand why they would kill it. It would be so they can show it to someone so they would know if they had the right antivenom. I personally decided that I would study every venomous snake species in the US so I would have that knowledge just in case. Most people don't take the time to do that. And the knowledge of venom is still growing as they find that venom can be different from the same species of snake depending on the region. It is very fascinating.

"I still don't see it" little story about my experience. I worked with my uncle one summer cleaning out repo properties. While cleaning out some tin sheets out of the back yard of one of the locations, we found a copperhead. My cousins noticed it as soon as we lifted the tin, but I just couldn't see it. Mind you we're standing 4 foot away. After staring and staring for a minute or so, I FINALLY saw the snake. Also, this snake was easily 4 foot long so it wasnt for lack of size that I couldn't see it. Anyways I looked away from the snake for a second and looked back and COULDN'T see it again. I say all this to confirm that these snakes are so camouflaged it will blow your mind.

Glad it was a dry bite and really appreciate you spreading good information about snakes. I've ran across more rattlesnakes than I can count hiking in the mountains of southern California and they'll always try to get away from you as fast as possible except for a HUGE western diamondback I saw that was big enough to eat rabbits. It just sat there coiled up and rattled but none of them are going to come toward and attack you unless maybe if you're trying to kill it and get it cornered. Leave them alone and they'll leave you alone. Too bad copperheads don't have a rattle but I'd say a dry bite is just a warning as well

G'day mate, good to see you're okay. I'm a snake catcher from Australia, so I just wanted to give you some tips for next time this occurs (hopefully not). I noticed a few things you could have done better. 1. You seemed to be internally stressing. Just remain calm at all times. 2. When you were bitten and had hikers around, you shouldn't have delayed lying down. You MUST be completely flat, don't move or twitch your body. Avoid speaking, and only say what is needed. If you're ever picked up by paramedics, become dead weight for them to lift you up. This was different here as they weren't able to reach you due to location you were in. Good to see you concerned about the snakes welfare also. I commend you on that. You did handle yourself fairly well, just a little touch up on those areas. In my job, I deal about 98% of the time with the Eastern Brown Snake. They're a bundle of joy those guys lol.

Copperheads are pitvipers that have heatseeking pits and hemotoxic venom .Eastern Brown snakes are elapids with neurotoxins two different types snakes that have different reactions and treatments for their bites. In a Australia you can apply a compression bandage until you get medical attention. If bitten by a pitviper remove all jewelry seek medical attention asap for the hemotoxic venom that causes necrosis ,muscle damage ,circulation problems and tissue damage if not treated with antivenin asap .

God bless that kind Copperhead. Clearly only interested in defending/protecting himself. One of my absolute favorite snakes as it's one of only two venomous snakes which can be found in the wild here in Massachusetts. The other being the Timber Rattlesnake. Glad it all worked out well for you and frankly - strange as it may seem to some - considering the rarity of that species in that area, the fact that you were the first bitten by one there in exactly a quarter century, the fact that you are a snake lover who was out herp'ing and lastly the fact that it was a dry bite; are all indications to me that this was a _good_ omen and a sign that you are on your true path. The footage you got is also so great at showing how well Copperheads can camouflage themselves on the forest floor!! Best of luck to you, thanks for sharing!

Luckily it was a dry bite for you and people there to help so quickly. Back in 2017 while hiking I was bitten by a Copperhead on my index finger when I put my hand in the wrong spot. It bit so hard the fang imbedded into that finger and I almost risked a second bite just to dislodge it, but it ended up finally being able to release itself. I had a 2 mile hump back to the jeep in all that humidity and ended up rushing the venom through me more. All in all I spent 3 days in the ICU (heart rate was teetering at 21) and another 2 days hospital stay before finally checking myself out. A $120,000 later and I'm still here to tell the tale. Like you said, they are defensive and I've never held ill will towards the snake as I was in its environment.

I agree with you about snakes only attacking when they’re accidentally stepped on or feel like they’re cornered. Every documentary I’ve seen, in fact any programme I’ve seen about snakes, every time they’re caught they just try to get away from the person who catches them. That must have been a terrible shock, especially as you weren’t expecting it to be in that area. Thankfully you were ok.

I got bit several years ago by a copperhead. I stepped on it one night with my left foot. I felt it roll under my foot and it got me on my right ankle. I could feel the venom moving up my leg about as soon as it bit me. The only thing they done at the hospital was they cut it and pulled the venom out. They measured everything going in and coming out of my body. Kept me over night. My foot swelled up every day for almost a year. Felt like I had a hot poker going up the center of my leg.

Had a similar experience many years ago, when I was about 13, in the late 1960s. I was on an arrowhead hunting hike with my Dad in Central Missouri. We were walking along a farm road (more like a wide path) at the edge of a cultivated field (almost all of the arrowheads we found were in plowed fields). Out of the "corner of my eye," I noticed some motion at ground level, on my left side. I turned my gaze to that area and saw a young (maybe 13") copperhead that had either struck and missed my foot, or its tiny fangs didn't penetrate my footwear. I called my Dad and he dispatched the serpent. If it had happened now, I would NOT have killed the snake. Back in those days, the only good venomous snake was a dead venomous snake. Happy to say that attitude has changed. Unlike the location of this incident (Baltimore County MD), copperheads are pretty common in Central Missouri. Also, copperheads are generally not aggressive. They typically will not bite unless, like here, the snake was stepped on, or your foot lands near it, and it feels threatened.
