How Deadly is the Copperhead?!

[@ther1rida]

I was bit by a copperhead when I accidentally stepped on it at 5 years old in Asheboro, N.C. I will tell you now...the pain was absolutely indescribable. It felt like someone held a blowtorch to my foot. I was bit on my left ankle and to this day I have nerve pain radiating when the weather changes. Snake bites can cause long-term damage. Always wear high boots when you are exploring the woods.

Coyote is the closest thing to a Steve Irwin that we’ve had since his death. He loves wildlife and never comes off as a disingenuous dude. I originally thought he was looking for views by getting bit in every video but realized he’s got so much heart for nature. Respect❤️

Steve Irwin said that he would catch any snake except a copperhead because of how aggressive they are. Steve Irwin was a legend and a hero and it’s good to see people like Coyote carrying the torch and raising the bar.

@@nipsarecomingoff1902 I live pretty close to where they are in this video, within about 100 miles. We have so many dangerous creatures here in the Appalachian mountains. Black bear, timber rattler, water moccasin, brown recluse, black widow, and worst of all, hillbilly meth heads. All very dangerous and unpredictable.

[@nipsarecomingoff1902]

Gotta watch out for the hillbilly meth heads lol. I’m from Ohio so I know what you mean. Interesting fact: When I was just 7, I was bitten by the brown recluse while I was asleep (on my left foot). Made it to the hospital in time for doctors to extract the flesh-eating venom, but 18 years later my left leg is still a little bigger than the right.

[@user-jt5ot4hy9q]

Should also mention that copperheads rely on their camouflage to a fault, believing themselves to be invisible as long as they don't move. This means that they won't run away like most snakes until directly confronted, which too often is after they've already been stepped on.

Had one on my back patio about a month ago and came across it when I took the dogs out back after their dinner. The stone was gray and it stood out to me, but the dogs didn't notice it until I started to deal with it, then they kept trying to come in for a close look, but I successfully kept them away. I didn't want to go in to get a grabber, so I used a small rake and broom that was on the patio to grab it and heave it over our fence into the woods behind our house. It wasn't aggressive and it could easily have struck the dogs as they walked over it to the yard, but it was frozen, it wasn't until I tried to get it with the broom and rake that it moved and then it was to try to flee, though it did strike the broom a couple times. Very used to garter snakes which are plentiful, but this is the first time I've seen a copperhead in our yard, it took me a moment to realize what it was.

I directed a geological field study in Wake County, NC for about three years, way back in the 90s. Copperheads were common within the field area, and they blended perfectly with the ground cover. Anyone who didn't know what to look for might easily step on one or more a day, but everyone wore boots and snake leggings. I've never seen so many Copperheads in one area. They are beautiful snakes, but very different from the Western Diamondbacks and Mojave rattlers I was accustomed to seeing in the Big Bend region of Texas.

Most people aren't aware that NC has more snake bites than any other state and I believe Wake County has the most snake bites in NC.

I grew up in Washington County Western Maryland and as a kid we had Copperheads all the time in our backyard. Every year - typically in spring and fall when snakes are laying in warm spots and camouflaged - people would step on one and get bit while hiking the Appalachian Trail not watching where they're stepping. Very important when hiking!

[@brothergrimm9656]

I live in E KY and been bitten twice by copperheads. Despite what some people claim they are not aggressive but actually freeze when they sense something approaching and being so well camouflaged often get stepped on (or very close to) and will strike. That's what happened both times to me. Bite is very rarely fatal but will hurt like hell for days even after being treated (and need to be treated fairly quickly). Adult copperheads can regulate how much venom to deliver in a bite as well and will often deliver a 'dry bite' to drive off smaller intruders, had a kitten bitten once who I expected to die, (being so small) but other than the fang marks she developed no injury from the bite, did however develop an intense respect for snakes afterwards.

Coyote, something you didn’t mention, is that Copperheads have a strong odor of cucumber.

I found one in southern OH once. I didn’t know what it was when I caught it. I took it in to my grandma because she was a snake fanatic, and before she even seen it she said “you’ve got a Copperhead there.” Then she explained to me about the cucumber smell.

[@marvinsalee7134]

I've never smelled that smell and been around many copperheads. A friend use to catch them and keep them a couple weeks and then let them go and even then I never smelled it. I know this is true but it sure isn't something anyone should rely on because in atleast ten different instances of being around them I've yet to smell anything. Heck I had one inside my cabin a week ago. Found a mouse hole that I think it came in and hopefully went back out of. I went to get an axe and it was gone when I returned. Pretty weird feeling when I go to bed now.

[@RATyson]

This is a myth. There is zero scientific evidence that supports the claim. There are many people who keep copperheads who will also refute the claim.

[@alanbartley4260]

I got bit by a copperhead in the late 80's . Was bit on my right ankle and it took a long time to heal. I didn't get sick, only ankle was swollen and hurt. I finally got better when i took penicillan for 5 days. I still have a round circle about a half dollar size and the two fang marks on my leg for evidence.

They are paying me $95 per hour, and the best thing about that is the fact I am not that tech-savvy, they just required standard knowledge about internet and simple typing skill...Awesome thing about this is the more free time I got for my family. I am able to enjoy quality time with my friends and family and take care of my children and also going on family vacation along with them very often.

[@ThomasDillon-z6u]

I've been bitten by the southern Copperhead twice. Once was a 20-inch specimen which gave me a dry bite. It was just enough venom to be irritating without threatening. The other time was a little 8-in yellow tail and it nailed me with everything it had and its venom glands down to the last drop. Fortunately I did not require antivenom for either bite as my venom tolerance is quite good. If you are bitten and have no idea what species 14:03 bit you or how much venom it may have injected into you, seek medical treatment immediately.

I was just bit by one 4 times on june 23 and i can 100 percent say it was the most extreme pain ive ever endured in my life. I spent 2 days in ICU and 4 days in a regular room. I never seen it. Couldnt imagine how horrific it would be to be bit by a rattler or a cottonmouth because i swore i was going to die from the copperhead bite, and quite frankly it does feel like your going to die. My thoughts on im ok if i see them first was way off. Im not ok with them at all. Ill never wear sandals or flipflops ever again.

[@Roshelt]

I was also bit really bad on my hand(doctors said it was the worst bite they’ve ever seen) but I got mine cleaning out a skimmer at a pool and the snake camouflaged really well and just chomped my hand. I was in icu for three days and yes this was so painful for over a month and it’s been over two months now and I’m still in physical therapy trying to heal this.

[@TeaganandEmbersNeeNee]

@Roshelt same here. I have some days I have severe pain still and some days I'm just fine. I didn't do physical therapy but did go to wound care because of my bites being so deep and having trouble healing. That first month following the bite had me giving up on life for real.
