Shannon is called out to Orange, Texas for a larger copperhead snake call! Follow the Gator Country crew as the rescue alligators and reptiles through 2022!
Mad respect for the young lady who caught it. Next time she goes on a snake call she should take a camera man with at least one ball. He was so busy running he didn't get half of the footage... 😕😕😕
@@srvafool That's why they call them King snakes. They are the king and kill all other snakes. Except they aren't poisonous so they don't get much attention from humans, but other snakes fear them.
I'm always fascinated with people that have such unique passions!! You can feel her love for the snake which is definitely not your typical quality. Very cool!
We have them here in northern Alabama, and they are extremely aggressive, "ill-tempered" snakes. Several years ago a Huntsville man posted a RUclips video of a copperhead's decapitated head biting its own body. Yikes!!
In the mid 1970s I killed two massive copperheads measuring 58 and 59 inches. I had two that were larger but escaped. I have had arguments with biologists who insist that I must have misidentified them as copperheads because, in their words "copperheads just don't get that big". I know for a fact that they do.
Largest Copperhead found in the State of Texas she said, "50 inches". 1) has the largest been found? 2) was yours outside of Texas? Simple deductive reasoning, rather than disagreement. 🤔
I’m in north Texas and we find them on our property a lot starting around June through the summer. I was bit on my hand and let me tell you it hurts pretty bad.
From what I learned Texans have Rattlesnake roundup every year, I was driving through Texas one year and come up behind a pickup with rattlesnakes in the back.
Hello from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We have rattlesnakes and copperheads in the north of the state. The copperheads really blend into the environment.
Interesting fact. Some snakes like the Blue Racers will drive copperheads and rattlesnake away ( and sometimes eat them). I had some on my property in East Texas and seldom saw copperheads. Great video
A guy I worked with in Alabama lost his leg in a cotton combine, years later in was working in the cotton field and a copperhead nailed him in his artificial leg. He carried around a newspaper clipping with his picture holding the dead snake.
Had a nephew on vacation in Tennessee camping way outside of town and got bit by a copperhead on one of his toes through his tennis shoe. When my wife told me, I said he'll be fine. I told her people rarely die from their bite, but he's going to have some pain for a while - and he did. He got a helicopter ride out of it though.
My family recently moved to east Texas, my wife and I are concerned about copperhead snakes. We have young children and dogs. We found your video very informative. Thank you.
Dogs will protect you from snakes. They will die protecting you if you are a good master. We had a loyal lab. She got a few rattlesnakes for us as a gift. In san antonio lake hills. She gave us 18 years of loyal luv.
@@oreo1064 Check to see if there's a vaccine available for the dog. When my brother moved to Phoenix area he checked with a local vet on the cost of treating a dog for snakebite...in the thousands. Cost of vaccine...90 bucks. That was a no-brainer decision.
Dodge built a concept car called the Copperhead, cool little car. It did not make it to production, though. She is the best looking snake charmer I’ve ever seen!
I live in Texas too and when we played golf, any shot that went off the fairway, you always took a 3 iron to use like a blindman's cane. They are all over along with rattle snakes and cotton mouths/water moccasins. If you got them around your house, you've got a rodent problem.
My wife and I would love to buy you a beer young lady!!! We are fellow Texan's and know the high importance of snakes, and all creatures important to the local ecology!!
I told you I knew where I saw you guys from! It was great seeing you at the show last night! I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as Susie did. She laughed so hard the whole time I’m pretty sure the people in front of her were a little annoyed but the lady behind us laughed even harder. I had a great time you guys stay safe and like I said, I knew I knew you! I’m gonna catch the rest of your videos. Have a good day!
That was definitely a well fed snake! Looking at all those rat traps, I'm pretty sure I know why it's so well fed. Biggest copper head I ever saw was on the Oceans golf course in Kiawah, SC. My brother in law darn near stepped on it getting out of the golf cart.
I have seen several copperheads in South East Kentucky that were 52 inches. The ones here are much darker than the one you caught, there in Texas. I used to live in Arkansas and the snakes there were similar color to the one you caught. We don't go outside here in Ky. at night without a good flashlight.
Same here in the Lake Cumberland area. 36"-48" seems to be the only size I ever see. Timber Rattlers have also been seemingly increasing in size (girth).
I lived in the Mojave Desert and it was crawling with rattlesnakes. I cleared out everything and eliminated all their potential hiding spaces for maximum safety,
If you're walking a wooded trail around 3:00pm with brown leaf clutter and suddenly hear what appears to be a cicada on the ground...Stop. You may be close to stepping on a Copperhead. Lucky walking stride was just right as left foot stepped over the Copperhead's mid body while vibrating tail adjacent my right big toe. That situation could have gotten ugly in a real hurry. Very lucky.
I am thankful that we were taught about venomous snakes in elementary school, along with all of the nature books my parents provided for us to learn from. I was just a young'n at Summer camp in the Catskill Mountains, NY and we were searching for crawfish in a small creek. We lifted up a lot of rocks, but for some reason I decided to lift up a larger flat rock alongside the creek bed only to discover a Copperhead under it. I knew it was Copperhead, it looked beautiful, and fortunately, it was resting and didn't react or do anything, but I ran from the area and warned everyone else about the snake and not to lift up rocks.
I caught a baby copperhead once. Used a long piece of baseboard and some hedges nips. I put it in a 5 gal. bucket. The head turned copper when harrassed. Good job Lady!
My husband has found 2 copperheads on our lot. One was by a coiled hose near an outside faucet. The second was under a bush. I am guessing they were looking for a cool spot in hot weather.
Every species of venomous snake in the mainland US can be found here in Florida. The Copperhead, Cottonmouth, Coral snake, Diamondback Rattler, Dusky Pygmy Rattler, and Timer Rattler. Because of this, our hospitals are well stocked in anti-venoms. My childhood was peppered with "look out for snakes" from mindful adults.
One of my staff lived in Louisiana years ago when her husband was stationed at an Army facility. The stories she had about spiders, insects, snakes and assorted creepy crawlers was more than enough to forget any ideas of moving south. She woke up one night to make a bathroom call. As she was trying to get out of bed she heard a small unusual noise. Her pupils must have dilated in alarm because even in the dark she could see a darker round thing. Turned out to be a venomous snake. If she'd ignored her senses and walked to the bathroom, she'd have brushed the snake going by it. The house they rented was an A-frame on stilts about 2-3 ft high. Even with screening critters were always finding a way under the house. After a couple years he got transferred and she was glad.
Remember that if you are coming into an area that has a strong scent of Fresh cut Cucumbers, you need to stop in your tracks and start looking around for a copperhead. Even a freshly hatched baby has a scent of cucumbers and their bite can be much worse than a grown snake because they don't know when to let go from their bite and keep pumping venom into the bite location where as a grown copperhead will bite then try to escape.
There all over the place here in eastern Virginia. I took a picture of 4 of them sunning themselves walking down to my fishing hole. They didn't even turn their heads around at me not concerned 6 feet away.
Add a BRIGHT police/tactical quality flashlight like an iNova or Streamlight. Small, very pocket sized. Most use CR123 batteries. When you have strong sunlight those shadows are really dark (to your eyes) and you need that strong light so you don't get surprised. I have a good dozen all over the house and vehicles.
There is an Australian snake called Copperhead (genus Austrelaps). I had no idea that there is another species in America, with the same name. I have never been to weird America. On this vision they don't look anything similar though. I have the impression though, that the purpose of the video here is the lady.
Biggest copperhead I ever saw was at Sid Richardson Scout Reservation off Lake Bridgeport....Sid has everything that will bite sting or scratch. Lol. At least a three footer.
we killed one in our backyard in Orange over 50 years ago, my dad killed it with a shovel, it came out of the woods behind our house, we played in that dense patch of woods for yrs and never saw a snake once

The prettiest snake wrangler I ever saw

What a gorgeous creature ❤❤❤❤❤ oh yes, and the snake. 🐍
Hot for grannies?
Has that Heather Locklear vibe …. When she was 💨🥵🥵
😂😂
Got bit by one in Beaumont. Hospital bill was a bigger shock than the bite
Wow, how much was it?
I was bitten and decided to avoid doctors. Took about 6 weeks to recover fully.
Lord, I'm sorry to hear that. We really do medicine wrong in this country.
@@bluest1524 Please don't say "we"
@@baneverything5580 Sounds like the doctor bit you worse than the snake
Mad respect for the young lady who caught it.
Next time she goes on a snake call she should take a camera man with at least one ball. He was so busy running he didn't get half of the footage... 😕😕😕
Right?? He was filming, but it wasn't the snake...
If he wasn’t filming, he could’ve caught it the very first time she pulled it out
God bless the inventor of denim shorts.
She looks like Heather Locklear

With just one hand while clicking on the other video?
U betcha
My Mom’s garage had a bunch of baby copperheads in it. I just put a large king snake in it and shut the exits tightly.
always cover the bottom step on stairs to your ankles
I've been curious about this. King snakes will kill poisonous snakes? I've heard they will.
@@srvafool They will and do, all thanks to their immunity to viper venom. It's how they earned the title "King".
@@srvafool That's why they call them King snakes. They are the king and kill all other snakes. Except they aren't poisonous so they don't get much attention from humans, but other snakes fear them.
Copperheads are some of the scariest snakes to me locally. Their camouflage is AMAZING and they don't ever seem very docile in videos.
I'm always fascinated with people that have such unique passions!! You can feel her love for the snake which is definitely not your typical quality. Very cool!
Thank you camara man. You know what we're here for. The snake on 2 legs!(saying it with love in my voice)
Yes.
I grew up on a wooded farm in north central Texas in the 1950s. Copperheads were fairly common and they definitely earned my respect.
We have them here in northern Alabama, and they are extremely aggressive, "ill-tempered" snakes. Several years ago a Huntsville man posted a RUclips video of a copperhead's decapitated head biting its own body. Yikes!!
I never knew copperheads could move so quickly.
In the mid 1970s I killed two massive copperheads measuring 58 and 59 inches. I had two that were larger but escaped. I have had arguments with biologists who insist that I must have misidentified them as copperheads because, in their words "copperheads just don't get that big". I know for a fact that they do.
Methinks you called 'em wrong.
Case in point, if I killed a copperhead that big, I would have kept it ,in a cooler with ice
Largest Copperhead found in the State of Texas she said, "50 inches". 1) has the largest been found? 2) was yours outside of Texas? Simple deductive reasoning, rather than disagreement. 🤔
Always an exception to the average.
Leave the Camera guy at Home next time
So happy people like you exist, because I can’t stand messing with snakes.
copperheads usually have a mate. so chances are, that mate is still there....somewhere
I’m in north Texas and we find them on our property a lot starting around June through the summer. I was bit on my hand and let me tell you it hurts pretty bad.
i don't believe it. i'll have to try it and see for myself
Nice except for the big ass tattoo.
Ditto
Agree
Thats just not right.
The tattoo or the big ass?
Yep. Sign of the times.
This is why no one watches TV any more.
When they walked by the chicken coop I swear the rooster crowd the following in a frantic scream, “GET THAT FK’NG SNAAAAAAke!!!!!!!!😱”

I wasn’t watching the snake! 😍
And your snake...
What snake?
Neither was I….
That's the plan!
"men of culture" and copperheads go perfectly together.
🙈 Oh yeah there was a snake there after all.
Camera girl freaking out needing more room while Shannon casually catches snake and puts it in the box. LoL
Got to respect a woman like her. Beautiful and smart!
Blonde .. beautiful..short shorts.. tight T-shirt… catching snakes…. What more could one ask for?

How about a tattoo?

A very Texas video, complete with the boots and accents. You Texans are funny. Yee-haw!
Haha; We Texans aren't funny,,, you people are funny! Have a good day
Watched the video, twice .. what snake? 😮😊
If I was a copperhead and saw you coming with a hook to subdue me......I would surrender.
In '77 we lived in Beaumont. I opened the front door and found a baby copperhead on the mat. Stepped on it, went to school. 😂
Hottest snake wrangler ever! Dang.

Really, what was informative about this video? Besides the fact a woman showing as much skin as possible in her video will get a lot of views.
I don’t have the faith to handle any snake with anything less than a twelve gauge!
Time to think differently.

You're right. There was better things to look at. Wish she had been facing the other direction when she was on all fours.

They evidently grow bigger here in eastern Kentucky. That was an average size copperhead for my region.
Yep. Southern Indiana has some biggins
@@everyday80sdude86 I grew up in southern Indiana and never saw a Copperhead but I have smelled them.

We have gotten 2 off of our farm in Alabama That was over the 3 feet mark. On was 37 1/2 inches and the other was 47 3/4.
The camera person was more scared than she was.
That guy was quicker than greased lightnin'!
That home resident (the daughter) was sweet.
There all over the place here in eastern Virginia. I took a picture of 4 of them sunning themselves walking down to my fishing hole. They didn't even turn their heads around at me not concerned 6 feet away.
"Let's load up!" You already did Baby! :0)
Copperheads usually come in pairs
My experience also.
Camera person got scared and ran off when she finally got the snake.
That is the neatest property I’ve seen watching snake catching videos
It would help if the homeowner would clean their yard.
Would glue boards maybe have trapped the snake too?
"Lucky it didn't get your foot" she's wearing long pants and enclosed shoes. but you are wearing short sleeves and short pants!
Shannon, two things to add to your equipment: Knee pads and pole mirror or pole camera. (New Subscriber) 🤠
Add a BRIGHT police/tactical quality flashlight like an iNova or Streamlight. Small, very pocket sized. Most use CR123 batteries. When you have strong sunlight those shadows are really dark (to your eyes) and you need that strong light so you don't get surprised.
