Well done brother. The second viper I interacted with as a child was a timber rattler and no one believed me. None of the adults I knew had seen a rattle snake in Kentucky before. Welp.... they're here. Be well brother man.
I saw a big one in Southern Ohio. Scared me half to death 😅
Yep, keep the kids safe by teaching them knowledge.
O_O!
Interesting they didn't attack each other.
Thank you for sharing. I was showing my kids this video so they can learn to identify them. My son loves reptiles and always trying to hold them(I don't let him do very often) and need him to learn the difference so he knows.
Copperheads are the least of concern since they won't get you dead inless you have an allergic reaction. But they are all over the place, and they blend into dead leaves insanely well. I've never seen a cottonmouth in the woods / swamps I go to. I give the pit vipers room.
"Won't get you dead"
I am so glad we don't have venomous snakes in Minnesota.
You should have Eastern Massasaugas and Timber Rattlesnakes in MN (both kinds of rattlers) just like we had in Wisconsin. Both were threatened or endangered in WI, so they were rare and I never saw any. They might be out by the bluffs by the Mississippi River
They're both so pretty ❤
@@timhensley3695 i agree!
Nope nope, I can deal with non venomous one's but not those. Thank you for the video though. As of right now Ohio at least in my area don't have venomous snakes. TAMMY OUT 💜🐸
I live in S Ohio. I have copperheads on my rural property. Very shy. But I don't reach into the woodpile or stoens without a rake in the summer. 😂
Awesome video on these 2 beauties. Encountered both several times in my long life. ❤
Cool! Didn't realize the color similarities !
Thanks for the side by side comparison. This is information I had always wondered about.
you really are a snake expert , i love listening to you talking about snakes hugssssss
I love how factual your information about wild things is!
Living in an area where there are no venoumas snakes I had a job of teaching my children about them, as their fathers were desperatly atraqid of snakes.
I grew up around rattlesnakes and my father would catch them to show them to us, then put them back where they belonged.
My oldest son at seven thought all snakes were bad, until I caught him trying to kill a nice mama garder snake that I kept in the chicken barn. We had a long talk about it and the garder snake was put bakc in the barn to eat mice and my son had a good lesson in leaving things alone, even when his friends were telling him snakes were dangerous. After that I was very careful to teach the rest of my children about snakes place in the world that God made.
Always important to see the snake first, identification can be second on the list.
Love the animal videos. As a fellow animal lover especially of the reptilian type, I’m always looking for new videos from you. You do such an amazing job!
Thanks a lot for that encouragement
I’m in Maryland and familiar with the copperhead but I don’t think we have the moccasins near us. Thanks Papa Pepper!
No Cottonmouths in Maryland their range ends in the Virginia on the east coast.
Thank you friend for educating me. I am in S.E. MICHIGAN.
I never like snake's. I held pet snake's. I've been in classes for all kinds of animal's at School's, Church or camps
Science. Very Interesting.
They bring all types of small animals reptile's to help educate us. I enjoyed your teaching. Your children are VERY BLESSED TO HAVE A
Mom and Dad like you both.
GLORY BE TO GOD 🙏🀄🙏🛐.
I PRAY WITH YOU in JESUS'S NAME AMEN. JEFF BOBBLEHEAD is moving home.
To his dream Homestead. I am so GREATFUL THANKFUL FOR
HIM. I have not seen your VLOGS on u tube. Glad to be back. I never wanted to stop
supportive you. At least I am back. P.T.L. Love and prayers.
I just remembered their name
Living Science. An excellent group. You would be a Great teacher in their program. I've seen them many times in South East Michigan. You have your own classes.
I'll watch this one again. T.Y.
I forgot their name. Something Science
surprised they didnt go after each other
Most people dont believe how large a cotton mouth can get. I didnt either until about 20 years ago.
Up until this year I thought cottonmouths were always black till I got into learning about them, I've only seen one in the wild in NE TN, I didn't really learn much about them but now I wonder if I had seen more than one just thinking it was a copperhead lol. Yeah I teach my kids to come get me, if anyone is bit by something bad, it's me lol.
When I was really young I can still remember finding my first snake, the adults over me kept blowing me off for a goodwhile, I didn't realize what I was seeing, I think it was eating a mouse based on what I can barely remember, but finally they listened and it was still coiled up where I found it, a copperhead, yeah adults better come look at what your kids find, last year my next to youngest (4) found a copperhead in our yard right around where I was cutting down a tree, he might have saved me from a bad encounter even, but atleast he didn't just grab it. I pray everyone's kid seeks adult help with these till they are old and experienced enough to safety identify them, there is a video on YT of a guy bitten by a copperhead because he thought it was a watersnake, I dunno how but bitten twice.
Such a good video. Thank you.
❤ so awesome that you teach them !
That mosquito getting a drink from the cottonmouth's eye.
Great video. Always learning information from your videos. I didn’t grow up around those kinda snakes.
Excellent video. Those are beautiful little snakes.
Nice content. I came across an adult copperhead while hiking at night and he was moving along and I was a bit scared when he came close to me. So your video has educated me to them. Thanks!!!
Fun fact these can interbreed and their spawn if fertile and called cottonhead.
Only in captivity Cottonmouths are semi aquatic cannibalistic snake eaters who don't socialize or tolerate any other species of snakes in the wild . No documented evidence of Cottonheads being born in the wild established breeding populations .
How is it I've lived my whole life and never knew some snakes give birth to live offspring?!!!
Great video and lots of good information. Thanks
@@allengezelman5913 and thank you for watching
Important knowledge ❤
Great video!
I just got done watching your possum video.
Was just wondering if either of these critters make good pets?
The copperhead has a cool looking pattern and tail.
Dangerous, and often illegal pets, if they'd be pets at all
@@PapaPepper Thanks! Just kidding because I've caught and released a few. Lol. I appreciate you pointing that out. I no longer keep hot snakes. That copperhead is a nice one but there are so many good looking nonvenomous snakes that make much better pets with no risk that I stuck with them.
i saw a cottonmouth on my bike ride this morning in georgia it was being attacked by 2 black crows.
I got bit by a baby copperhead a couple years ago. It bit me three times and my leg swelled up to the size of a watermelon. I got rushed to the hospital and flatlined for a couple seconds the swelling didn’t go down for like a week
Andddddd..... Fight !
Round 1! 😅
Interesting info… thanks!
I live in Alabama and I have a 10-acre lake and we have a lot of copperheads also a lot of rattlesnakes I hate snakes
Some of our local water moccasins can look even more like a baby copperhead than what you showed, but do not have the copper colored head but do have the horizontal lateral dark stripe on the head that covers the eye. Most times they change color to become darker but sometimes not. Somebody I know showed a picture of a 4 footer that was not dark and I have seen a three footer that did not. My part of northwest florida is where the two species overlap. Mean a lot of diversity. There are now considered to be no subspecies but two separate species.
''a molecular (DNA) based study was published in 2014, applying phylogenetic theories (one implication being no subspecies are recognized), changing the long-standing taxonomy. The resulting and current taxonomic arrangement recognizes two species and no subspecies.''
Pretty little snakes to me they don't look alike so not sure how people confuse them
Awesome video!
Thank you much
I saw adult cottonmouths in Jacksonville approximately 4-5 feet, thick in the middle like a pit viper, a dirty brownish black color with no apparent pattern or markings on their backs that you could see from 25 30 feet away. I see the baby here is very dark compared to the copperhead, obscuring the markings somewhat. Do the markings always become harder to see with age?
So if the cottonmouth gets darker can you tell thr difference between that and a black rat snake because i know they get dark but you can see the saddles on them slightly still unlike a racer. I thought id be safe being able to detect a rat snake on the north east coast here but not im worried.
@@spoiledwitch82 the shape, color of the darkness, heat pits. Eyes, throat, head shape will all be different. I personally don't think i could ever mix them up, but if you're not sure, always exercise caution
Do all vipers start off with a green tail?
@@M3Vader don't think so, rattlesnakes are also North American pit vipers
I ran over what I thought was a copperhead, now I know it was a cottonmouth by the markings. I have a small pound, I found a Very large snapping turtle today the size of a 15-16 inch tire so I was looking to see if snapping turtles kill snakes like that. How do I get rid of those snakes? Soap? mothballs? I keep the 7 acres mowed and spray for weeds but around the pond its more difficult to keep it short , but during the winter I will piles up tree branches to burn off and clear out as much a possible.
