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.
ther1rida ther1rida i got bitten when i was 8 yrs old in both ankles it was cray im sorry to hear u didn’t make a full recovery i thank my lord jesus made a full recovery from this scary accident
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.
I was bitten by a large copperhead in PA. Bit in the hand and they had to cut my arm the whole way up past my elbow to relieve the pressure from swelling. I was in the ICU for 3 days and hospital for 9 days. Please be careful around them!
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.
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.
Growing up in the 60s suburbia , the Appalachian wilderness was nearby. Of course , we were always adult supervised & if you managed to wonder off were thoroughly chewed out when you got back . One of the chewing points was there are Stills out there & those moonshiners don’t take chances with letting you live .
As a service-member stationed overseas that’s from West Virginia, it makes me so happy to see one of my favorite RUclipsrs in my back yard. Thanks Coyote.
I live right by the Appalachian Trail and I see Copperheads all the time. The scariest thing about them is how still and silent they stay as you go by them. These things don’t flinch
My wife and I just moved to Kentucky from Upstate New York and we were told that the best way to keep snakes out the yard is using your lawn mower on a regular basis.
I got bit by one of these a few years back at 18 years old on my forearm reaching into a brush pile to get my machete I dropped after clearing some brush and let me tell you that hurtttt and the anti venom process wasn’t fun either. Took me 7 months to be able to get my whole range of motion back in my wrist the swelling did some crazy damage. Thank god it wasn’t worse could’ve been real bad if I would’ve gotten bit in a vein or artery.
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 live in Wake County near Wake Forest and every year would encounter multiple copperheads in my yard----but once I got rid of all my pine trees I saw no more snakes. I had one strike at me last year as I was checking trail cameras in Durham county. Walked right by and didn't see him. He hit my pants leg. I was lucky

Hey man same thing happened to me when I was about 8 or 9 I was walking in the woods with my cousin and I just sorta walked up on it looked at it and turned around and bolted now that I think back on it it was perfectly fine and had no aggression in it but my 8 year old mind did not think that
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!
I live in a heavily copperhead "infested" area and have occasionally smelled cucumbers in my back yard, which adjoins a poorly maintained powerline easement. Usually if I smell that, we start seeing copperheads in the back yard. Usually large adults.
I discovered this channel a few days ago and I can't stop watching the videos. This guy is a legend. Thank you Coyote for all your hard work and for teaching and entertaining us.
My grandfather was almost bitten by one of these snakes. Didn’t bite through his boot, though. OH MY GOD HOLD THE PHONE HOW IS THIS SO POPULAR?!!? Definitely didn’t see that coming.
I was hiking in Roanoke County, VA a few years back when I came across a beautiful eastern timber rattler. He was basking on a stepping stone rock, right in the middle of the trail. We took a couple pictures, then walked around him. By the time we came back, he was gone, but it was an awesome encounter
I spent my teen and early adult years in Roanoke Co. Great hiking around there. I'm near Charlottesville these days at the foot of the Blue Ridge and try to get in the mountains as often as possible. Black timber rattlers are pretty easy to spot if you're paying attention. If you're close they will often make their presence known....if not sleeping in the sun.
Spent my entire life visiting the Catskills in New York. Saw a timber rattler once in 35 years. Very elusive creatures. Heard the rattle of the engine of a Willies Jeep. That's how loud it was. An awesome and unforgettable encounter. Excellent work Coyote!
My family has been going up to Lake Luzurne/Lake George since I was born, we have 2 houses(1 each side of the family uses), and I've never seen one. Never actually seen any snake up there. See more snakes by our real home less than an hr north of the Bronx. But then again, I probably have only spent 1% of my life up by Lake George
They're everywhere in the Shenandoah Nat'l Park area. Steve irwin went there to do his episode. I did AT trail maintenance in SNP and would see them all the time in the summer. Maybe permits weren't allowed for this particular "hunt" though..
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.
I just love the Idea of Rattlesnakes, The way that they make a noise to warn you away. Our snakes in Australia they just Bite you, No real warning just Zap and your off to hospital. Most of the time you never even saw it coming!
You Aussies have some wicked biting animals and bugs. That black spider that is aggressive seems like it would be pretty scary. I live in Georgia and have killed a few rattle snakes. They do warn you. One of them was 6 1/2 feet long and had 15 eggs in her, and she was in my backyard. I would like to see Australia.
To be fair, there's an unfortunately growing minority of Rattlesnakes that strike without rattling. The main venomous snakes in my region are Copperheads, so I'm screwed regardless. 😖😖😖
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.
Well I have seen Peterson get willingly pinched bitten or stung by things I would never allow. And my maternal line of Gallagher and clann Fearghaille in a matriarchy means my mythic bloodline is dominated by common European adders and viviparous lizards. Plus I grew up in Okefenokee and Cade's Cove while not in school in north Georgia. Both places are crawling with horridus, chelydra, bobs and bare.
I saw the video and was like “this is interesting” and then he said they were in West Virginia and I instantly got excited because nobody ever showcases our state. 😂
Coyote, something you didn’t mention, is that Copperheads have a strong odor of cucumber. If you’re out in an area where there is potential for snakes and you smell cucumber, be very alert, because it’s probably not a cucumber you smell. Chances are, it’s a Copperhead. 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.
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.
Previous month I was able to withdraw my first five figure paycheck ever!!! I've been working for this provider on-line for 24 months now and I never been happier... 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.

Whenever i heard him say “West Virginia” my first reaction was i screamed “where is he!!!” First dude perfect and now brave wilderness. West Virginia is just a beautiful place
When I was a kid and we had moved into a new home me and my sister were running around the yard playing tag. She happened to jump a copperhead thinking it was a tree root. Luckily I noticed it before anything happened and it all ended well.
One time I was mountain biking with my dad and grandpa and we were stopped for a break and my grandpa and I were basically standing on one...I didn’t even see it before my grandpa was bashing its head in. Copperheads have a super bad rep
My grandparents lived way out in the hills. It’s so beautiful, and so wild. Obviously the deer are the most common thing to see (you can’t go anywhere without seeing them) but we’ve seen black bears, more snake species than I can count, salamanders, crayfish (crawdads), and a million other things. Much love to WV.
In West Virginia, born and raised, In the mountains was where I spent most of my days. Chillin' out, maxin', relaxing all week, And looking for copperheads down by the creek.

Coyote: searches for hours in the middle of nowhere to find a timber rattler Me: takes two steps into the woods and almost steps on top of one 👁 snake whisperer 👁
Well if you want to be technical yes..however coyote stole it from a man named shmidt who originally came up with the pain index back in the 80s..soooo yeah.
@@bernadinebenoschek1688 coyote was the first i believe to film it. plus having RUclips helped him get popular. so he didn't really steal the idea just documented it differently.
Thank God im not the only one lmao. Jeep could have made it and the brush he was talking about is just tall grass. I walked through worse at 7 and 8 years old in my deer lease with a bb gun and cougars. Lol.
I've driven over rougher terrain in a 2WD open diff truck. Damn dude, you pick up venomous snakes but you won't take your Jeep over an easy obstacle. WTH.
I was looking for this comment. They could have made that and a West Virginian would have just drove past in a car asking if they needed help and then kept going. That confused me....I guess it was for "drama" or something.
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.
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.
@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. Sending hugs and prayers for healing for you.
I'm not sure why they had so much trouble... I literally saw one around Labor Day weekend at Griffith Observatory in LA, SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE. It was just chilling in the brush, probably used to humans.
I live in Northern Virginia and we used to live right by a river and there were all kinds of snakes all over the place. Over the years, I remember stepping RIGHT over several copperheads at night (thinking they were sticks, but then they moved). Luckily, I was never bit.
When I was a kid I could smell when a copperhead was around. Smelled like cucumber or corn. Can't exactly remember which. Might have been times of the year.
In ky same thing look and watch where you step especially around Clarks river. That would be George Rodgers Clark of Louis and Clark. If you know your history...r from ky. Cotton mouths to Rockie areas look for rattlers all in ky.
They come up when the river comes up and stays up in spring alot of run off keeps it high going into Tennessee river from Marshall co into McCracken co. They don't leave when the river goes down. Cotton mouths also in Rockie areas we get timber rattlers. I was pushing nefw in stroller in long drive way dad had a car hauler trailer it was behind trailer tire struck at stroller. Thank fully it caught my eye and did not hit the stroller. Then one got in concrete block underneath the kids play house my dogs found it and started barking shot guns people!!!! Dogs did not get bit barked and I found him .
What a long hike to find a snake.🐍 I opened the back porch door, and there was a copperhead blending in with the fall leaves and pine needles - I almost stepped on it! Scared 😱 in South Carolina!
Not unless you are (very) old or young or have an underlying health problems or (very) allergic to the venom. Not (very) toxic in the snake world. A healthy adult human can survive a bite from a copperhead without medical attention however it will be (very) painful.
I live in the Atlanta suburbs and I had a nest of copperheads under the foundation of the house I was renting. They would get in the garage and, true story, I replaced the O2 sensor on a Chevy Avalanche in my driveway and rolled over to get out and there was one staring at me from about 8 inches away. It was about as thick as a redbull can and about 2.5 feet long. No joke. But, they won't bite unless you mess with them, or step on them (a more common occurance). Great video!
CopperHead: Ahhh just living the life wait why is the rock opening. Coyote: here lady’s and gentle men this is a copperhead Copperhead: oh am I on T.V :) Coyote: “ Picks copperhead up” Copperhead: why am I getting picked up oh wait I’m on T.V copper head poses.
(After a couple of hours walking to reach the location) Coyote: Pull it in guys, let's rest for a moment. (Laying down) Coyote: Look at this dirt... see how it moves? (Breathing heavily) Coyote: If you were to get injured out here in the bush, my team is going to show you how to construct a stretcher to carry me back down to the car.
Reminds me of when my brother almost stepped on a Copperhead a few years ago. The encounter was all the more surprising given we were in the suburbs of Northern Virginia! We were climbing on some rocks lining one of the many streams that cut a path of nature through the endless neighborhoods. My brother saw the snake right as he jumped, and just managed to avoid the snake and evoking a strike! He pointed it out, asking what I thought it was, and I knew what it was. I had only read about them or saw them at the zoo up to that point. We just admired the animal from a safe enough distance for our adolescent minds, and went back home. In hindsight, I realize we probably should have called someone to relocate the snake to a safer location.
I’ve been wanting a copperhead episode forever! So cool! I live in PA. I don’t know what kind of venomous snakes live near me if any. I’ve seen a few garter snakes in the national parks nearby though and once when we went to the poconos.
When I was 17, I was bitten by a baby on a nature trail. It was totally my fault because I got too close when trying to take a picture. Suffice to say, it ended with a 4 day hospital visit and some of the worst pain I've ever felt.
@@davidallen2136 Yeah, I can't speak for potency as I've never been bitten by an adult, but i can recommend everyone respect these creatures and give them proper distance because the bite is extremely painful lol
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.

“It looks like the Jeep could definitely get over this...”

“So we have the next four hours ahead of us on foot”
I thought so too, but maybe didn’t translate on camera.
Maybe it's worse IRL but if it's a Rubicon then it probably could have done it

Cold blooded
I saw A Copperhead In Pennsylvania
@@dumbbird7569 i saw one in Georgia
He not in the mountains he in da hills dumbazz
Am West Virginian, can confirm
I love seeing Mario being a expert with everything
Coyote: We are walking back to the vehicle
Copperhead: SURPRISE
*surprise
@Casa De Jarp 🤣🤣🤣
Working in the woods of WV, you learn the major sign of copperhead dens: the obvious smell of cucumbers. It’s very strong!
I thought that was an old wives tale.
A little bit like fresh cut grass too
@Todd Lenard really
I live in a heavily copperhead "infested" area and have occasionally smelled cucumbers in my back yard, which adjoins a poorly maintained powerline easement. Usually if I smell that, we start seeing copperheads in the back yard. Usually large adults.
Why that scent,what's that mean?
It’s West Virginia you could just walked down the highway and found either of those snakes
In some places swim next to them. lol
I live in central MS, and they're both all over the place here. All ya gotta do is go turkey hunting to find one lol
nuter2007 That doesn't make for such a long "remote" video. Haha
As a West Virginian, I can confirm. I had to remove a copperhead nest last summer, I have no clue how I haven’t been bitten haha
I live in WV
In PA, I grew up where there were copperheads. My grandmother always said you knew they were around by the cucumber smell
I discovered this channel a few days ago and I can't stop watching the videos. This guy is a legend. Thank you Coyote for all your hard work and for teaching and entertaining us.
Nobody:
Coyote: *sees insect*
Also coyote: I don’t think nobody has been bitten by one of these. Let’s find out🤠
you used double negatives... thats a bad Fire Kicks
I bet somebody has
My grandfather was almost bitten by one of these snakes. Didn’t bite through his boot, though.
OH
MY
GOD
HOLD THE PHONE HOW IS THIS SO POPULAR?!!? Definitely didn’t see that coming.
Wow...
He got real lucky
Soooooo lucky
Suuuuper lucky
WesleyO05 they are not prone to biting. At least one has never even attempted to bite me and I kinda touched it lol.
I was hiking in Roanoke County, VA a few years back when I came across a beautiful eastern timber rattler. He was basking on a stepping stone rock, right in the middle of the trail. We took a couple pictures, then walked around him. By the time we came back, he was gone, but it was an awesome encounter
I spent my teen and early adult years in Roanoke Co. Great hiking around there. I'm near Charlottesville these days at the foot of the Blue Ridge and try to get in the mountains as often as possible. Black timber rattlers are pretty easy to spot if you're paying attention. If you're close they will often make their presence known....if not sleeping in the sun.
I live in Blacksburg Virginia
@@Tiger10-k6t I studied EE there. Nice area!
@@ericy1005 it’s great
The best part about this is that they aren’t in a zoo they are actually going into nature and finding snakes!
Thanks coyote!
Spent my entire life visiting the Catskills in New York. Saw a timber rattler once in 35 years. Very elusive creatures. Heard the rattle of the engine of a Willies Jeep. That's how loud it was. An awesome and unforgettable encounter. Excellent work Coyote!
My family has been going up to Lake Luzurne/Lake George since I was born, we have 2 houses(1 each side of the family uses), and I've never seen one. Never actually seen any snake up there. See more snakes by our real home less than an hr north of the Bronx. But then again, I probably have only spent 1% of my life up by Lake George
They're everywhere in the Shenandoah Nat'l Park area. Steve irwin went there to do his episode. I did AT trail maintenance in SNP and would see them all the time in the summer. Maybe permits weren't allowed for this particular "hunt" though..
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.

Snake: *w h y*
I HAVE ALOT OF COPPERHEADS IN MY CREEK
I just love the Idea of Rattlesnakes, The way that they make a noise to warn you away. Our snakes in Australia they just Bite you, No real warning just Zap and your off to hospital. Most of the time you never even saw it coming!
I use a 12ga to hunt them !
Most rattlers don’t rattle. They just bite
You Aussies have some wicked biting animals and bugs. That black spider that is aggressive seems like it would be pretty scary. I live in Georgia and have killed a few rattle snakes. They do warn you. One of them was 6 1/2 feet long and had 15 eggs in her, and she was in my backyard. I would like to see Australia.
To be fair, there's an unfortunately growing minority of Rattlesnakes that strike without rattling. The main venomous snakes in my region are Copperheads, so I'm screwed regardless. 😖😖😖
As much as I fear snakes, I respect that you returned this snake unharmed and right back to its original location.
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.
Me: Sees hose in the middle of the night *Screams*
Coyote: Encounters snake
Hehehe
Lol
Well I have seen Peterson get willingly pinched bitten or stung by things I would never allow. And my maternal line of Gallagher and clann Fearghaille in a matriarchy means my mythic bloodline is dominated by common European adders and viviparous lizards. Plus I grew up in Okefenokee and Cade's Cove while not in school in north Georgia. Both places are crawling with horridus, chelydra, bobs and bare.
You're a whiny child. Way to be cool by bragging about it on the internet.
You got balls. Even Steve Irwin said that the copperhead is the only snake he wouldn’t mess with because they are so aggressive and unpredictable.
They will just make you sick. Underlying health issues and copperhead bite will kill you
@@tp8030 it's considered a deadly snake
@@chadwhitfield6946 their bite is extremely painful but rarely ever deadly.
it's the juvenile ones you have to be careful about because they don't have control over the venom quantity they inject like adults do
I remember him saying something similar about the Cottomouth as well. He was doing a show in Louisiana I believe.
I saw the video and was like “this is interesting” and then he said they were in West Virginia and I instantly got excited because nobody ever showcases our state. 😂
Except in Country Roads?
The people that dislike him are the people who came to see him get bit

Tigerstorm 6 I like the ones that can be pets I don’t like the venomous ones
@Casa De Jarp Not true
Coyote, something you didn’t mention, is that Copperheads have a strong odor of cucumber. If you’re out in an area where there is potential for snakes and you smell cucumber, be very alert, because it’s probably not a cucumber you smell.
Chances are, it’s a Copperhead. 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.
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.
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.
Hi I’m coyote Peterson and today I’m going to be biting into ice cream with my two front teeth

Ahh Run away!
Coyote: Let me feel your bite
When I was a kid and we had moved into a new home me and my sister were running around the yard playing tag. She happened to jump a copperhead thinking it was a tree root. Luckily I noticed it before anything happened and it all ended well.
One time I was mountain biking with my dad and grandpa and we were stopped for a break and my grandpa and I were basically standing on one...I didn’t even see it before my grandpa was bashing its head in. Copperheads have a super bad rep
I thought this said jump ON the copperhead and I was really confused
What a gorgeous snake! So intimidating!
Coyote: I just got bit by a lion!
Me: I can't even touch a floor with one ant.
Coyote: *has copperhead in hand*

My grandparents lived way out in the hills. It’s so beautiful, and so wild. Obviously the deer are the most common thing to see (you can’t go anywhere without seeing them) but we’ve seen black bears, more snake species than I can count, salamanders, crayfish (crawdads), and a million other things. Much love to WV.
Copper heads look so badass the color and the shape of their head.. I love how awesome venomous snakes look

Thought I just saw this comment
Did kings of pain just steal this man's show?
Well if you want to be technical yes..however coyote stole it from a man named shmidt who originally came up with the pain index back in the 80s..soooo yeah.
@@bernadinebenoschek1688 coyote was the first i believe to film it. plus having RUclips helped him get popular. so he didn't really steal the idea just documented it differently.
Bernadine Benoschek i once knew a man with a wooden leg named Schmidt
The Jeep can easily get through that terrain. Come’On Man!
I was thinking the same thing, I didn't understand that at all.
Thank God im not the only one lmao. Jeep could have made it and the brush he was talking about is just tall grass. I walked through worse at 7 and 8 years old in my deer lease with a bb gun and cougars. Lol.
I've driven over rougher terrain in a 2WD open diff truck. Damn dude, you pick up venomous snakes but you won't take your Jeep over an easy obstacle. WTH.
I was looking for this comment. They could have made that and a West Virginian would have just drove past in a car asking if they needed help and then kept going. That confused me....I guess it was for "drama" or something.
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.
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.
@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. Sending hugs and prayers for healing for you.
Coyote your voice is like velvet going in my ears and all the while entertaining and educating my brain
...What?
You put velvet in your ears....!!! WTF
Lmao not literally
Most people: avoiding rattlesnakes
Coyote: let’s find one
I'm not sure why they had so much trouble... I literally saw one around Labor Day weekend at Griffith Observatory in LA, SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE. It was just chilling in the brush, probably used to humans.

Finally one of these comments that actually make sense
I live in Northern Virginia and we used to live right by a river and there were all kinds of snakes all over the place.
Over the years, I remember stepping RIGHT over several copperheads at night (thinking they were sticks, but then they moved). Luckily, I was never bit.

Yea, I would even get out to lock the front hubs for that Little Rock pile lol

Someone above mentioned cucumber smell.
Most reptiles have a scent.
Cucumber!
In ky same thing look and watch where you step especially around Clarks river. That would be George Rodgers Clark of Louis and Clark. If you know your history...r from ky. Cotton mouths to Rockie areas look for rattlers all in ky.
They come up when the river comes up and stays up in spring alot of run off keeps it high going into Tennessee river from Marshall co into McCracken co. They don't leave when the river goes down. Cotton mouths also in Rockie areas we get timber rattlers. I was pushing nefw in stroller in long drive way dad had a car hauler trailer it was behind trailer tire struck at stroller. Thank fully it caught my eye and did not hit the stroller. Then one got in concrete block underneath the kids play house my dogs found it and started barking shot guns people!!!!

Keep dreaming kid.
Not in a million years
That’s one of those dreams where it’s too impossible to be true
Coyote: how dangerous are copperheads?
Me: vary
nice wordplay
@@jasongts you too its word play
Its very
Not unless you are (very) old or young or have an underlying health problems or (very) allergic to the venom. Not (very) toxic in the snake world. A healthy adult human can survive a bite from a copperhead without medical attention however it will be (very) painful.
I live in the Atlanta suburbs and I had a nest of copperheads under the foundation of the house I was renting. They would get in the garage and, true story, I replaced the O2 sensor on a Chevy Avalanche in my driveway and rolled over to get out and there was one staring at me from about 8 inches away. It was about as thick as a redbull can and about 2.5 feet long. No joke. But, they won't bite unless you mess with them, or step on them (a more common occurance). Great video!
CopperHead: Ahhh just living the life wait why is the rock opening.
Coyote: here lady’s and gentle men this is a copperhead
Copperhead: oh am I on T.V :)
Coyote: “ Picks copperhead up”
Copperhead: why am I getting picked up oh wait I’m on T.V copper head poses.
(After a couple of hours walking to reach the location)
Coyote: Pull it in guys, let's rest for a moment.
(Laying down)
Coyote: Look at this dirt... see how it moves?

Coyote: If you were to get injured out here in the bush, my team is going to show you how to construct a stretcher to carry me back down to the car.
Jordan Partman agreed
Nearly every creature that fascinated me, have a chance at killing me😅 (BTW good job and stay safe)
That's for sure
There's so many interesting creatures that won't kill you... Like an octopus or a tarantula? C'mon.
Tarantulas can kill u
@@adarsh8899 yeah they have strong venom
Reminds me of when my brother almost stepped on a Copperhead a few years ago. The encounter was all the more surprising given we were in the suburbs of Northern Virginia!
We were climbing on some rocks lining one of the many streams that cut a path of nature through the endless neighborhoods. My brother saw the snake right as he jumped, and just managed to avoid the snake and evoking a strike! He pointed it out, asking what I thought it was, and I knew what it was. I had only read about them or saw them at the zoo up to that point.
We just admired the animal from a safe enough distance for our adolescent minds, and went back home. In hindsight, I realize we probably should have called someone to relocate the snake to a safer location.
Coyote:im about to enter the bite zone with the blue whale
Also coyote:*prays for the whale to go for the arm*
I’ve been wanting a copperhead episode forever! So cool! I live in PA. I don’t know what kind of venomous snakes live near me if any. I’ve seen a few garter snakes in the national parks nearby though and once when we went to the poconos.
Ok
I grew up born and raised in the poconos lol. They have copperheads and rattlesnakes there. They’re actually all over Pennsylvania.
When I was 17, I was bitten by a baby on a nature trail. It was totally my fault because I got too close when trying to take a picture. Suffice to say, it ended with a 4 day hospital visit and some of the worst pain I've ever felt.
Damn, babies are worse because they can't control how much venom they output and usually pump out as much as they can
Rickey Knudsen that’s true but it’s a myth that’s it’s worse than adult snakes. The potency of the baby’s venom is not stronger than an adults.
@@davidallen2136 I'm aware, I never said they were more potent, just that they usually inject more venom.
@@davidallen2136 Yeah, I can't speak for potency as I've never been bitten by an adult, but i can recommend everyone respect these creatures and give them proper distance because the bite is extremely painful lol
You know the deal!!!
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.
