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.
I was once bit by a western diamondback It looked huge but a herpetologist once told me that a snake looks 30% bigger when viewed from directly above. Anyway the snake was stuck to my leg for a short while, until it latterly ripped the fangs out of its mouth to get away. Later I had to use plyers to get the snake's fangs out of my prosthesis. Later I saw a Far Side cartoon of a guy with a pegleg walking in the desert. Next to one of the peg prints was a rattlesnake with a messed up mouth. I sent this story to Gary Larson with a picture om my fake leg with rattlesnake fangs imbedded in it. He sent back a poster sized copy of the cartoon signed with, "When life imitates my art, run." I was surprised how hard they hit.
One bite of an eastern diamond back rattler is equal to at least twenty copperhead bites. A copperhead bite is nothing compared to a bite from one of those.
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!
I live in South Carolina and they're here too. The ones we run across on our property are non-aggressive but confident in their camouflage. Meaning, they lie still and let you walk right on by. Most people are bitten because they inadvertently step on them.
@michaelsix9684 Yes, sir. I've seen more Copperheads this year. Then I've seen my whole life. Finally, I saw a King Snake late this summer. I hope it cleans house.
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.
I had a friend fall and break a leg at Indian Boundary Camp Ground in East Tennessee. Helicopter ride to U T Medical Center in Knoxville TN (about a 20 minute ride)= $30,000. That is just for the ride.
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.
And they climb trees! My dad lives in N. Texas, and I thought I only had to watch the ground for them. But up in the trees like the rainforest? I'm out!! 😱🐍
Obviously haven't been to Australia! Four of the six most dangerous (aggressively AND venomously) snakes in the world live here; and sometimes they get quite narky when you grab them by the tail to throw them out of the house.
@@noimagination99 They don't move because they're using their camo to blend in. I tried moving one off the bike path (I had just ridden by within one foot) and it didn't want to budge. Another guy came by and got it on the end of a branch to move it to avoid an encounter with other riders as it was in the middle of the trail. Definitely wasn't aggressive but my fear is stepping on one or riding over one. Got some pics of a very cool looking snake.
Lots of copperheads around my land but I haven't seen an aggressive one yet. They usually go motionless and hope you don't notice them. All is good as long as you do see them and avoid them. I wouldn't want to step on one. Really weird that I haven't seen any the last few years. Use to see 3-4 a year.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
Copperheads have attitude and will not get out of your way most of the time. If you get close, it will strike at you. Be very careful with these cocky bastards.
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!
I'm watching them to try and desensitize myself because I'm so terrified of them. We'll likely be moving to North Carolina from NY and I know they're extremely prevalent there😧
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.
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
Holy Moly! That is a big Copperhead. I came upon a 50 inch Diamondback last year that was extremely agitated. By far the biggest I've seen, but my buddy got a pic of a 5 footer just a few weeks later, near the same spot. I'm in western AZ.
@@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.
The eastern copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix), also known simply as the copperhead, is a species of venomous snake, a pit viper, endemic to eastern North America; it is a member of the subfamily Crotalinae in the family Viperidae. The eastern copperhead has distinctive, dark brown, hourglass-shaped markings, overlaid on a light reddish brown or brown/gray background. The body type is heavy, rather than slender. Neonates are born with green or yellow tail tips, which progress to a darker brown or black within one year. Adults grow to a typical length (including tail) of 50-95 cm (20-37 in). In most of North America, the eastern copperhead favors deciduous forest and mixed woodlands. It may occupy rock outcroppings and ledges, but is also found in low-lying, swampy regions. During the winter, it hibernates in dens or limestone crevices, often together with timber rattlesnakes and black rat snakes.[4] The eastern copperhead is known to feed on a wide variety of prey, including invertebrates (primarily arthropods) and vertebrates. Like most pit vipers, the eastern copperhead is generally an ambush predator; it takes up a promising position and waits for suitable prey to arrive. As a common species within its range, it may be encountered by humans. Unlike other viperids, it often "freezes" instead of slithering away and fleeing, due to its habit of relying on excellent camouflage. Bites occur due to people unknowingly stepping on or near them.[6] Copperhead bites account for half of the treated snake bites in the United States.[7] Five subspecies have been recognized in the past, but recent genetic analysis had yielded new species information. Etymology Its generic name is derived from the Greek words ankistron "hook, fishhook" and odon, variant of odous "tooth". The trivial name, or specific epithet, comes from the Latin contortus (twisted, intricate, complex), which is usually interpreted to reference the distorted pattern of darker bands across the snake's back, which are broad at the lateral base, but "pinched" into narrow hourglass shapes in the middle at the vertebral area.
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!
I'm with Phil, "WE NEED MORE ROOM". One of my employees stepped on one and was bitten on the foot. She needed $110,000 in anti-venom before it was over.
I had an aunt who lived in Pineville Kentucky. She and my uncle had 3 chicken coops behind their house and every summet, we would watch my aunt get her tools and pull copperheads out from under the coops. Brave woman!
I was at my Dentist office recently and there was a woman there wearing Western boots and she was wearing a long dress. I told her that I liked her boots and that she looked very lady liked. She thanked me. What an awesome sized Copperhead snake to get back on subject of this video.
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've been an alligator fanatic since I was 5. Always fascinated with them and learned how to do call them with the baby gator chirp. That really really works well at getting a gator to come to you. When I was about 13 or 14 me and another guy found a baby gator nest. It wasn't an actual nest. They had already hatched and were all hanging out in this little lagoon that was on one side of this small creek. We didn't see the mother gator. I came back later that same afternoon to see if mother gator was around. I still didn't see her, but I figured she's probably on the bottom of the creek somewhere, so I started doing the chirp and watching the creek. Something caught my eye below me, and I look down and there is this giant black head coming out of a hole in the bank literally right up under my feet. I was not a running back when I played football but for the next 20 seconds, I could have run in the NFL I moved so fast. She was in a hole that was made by a natural spring that came out of the side of the bank, but you couldn't tell there was a hole there when you're standing on top of the bank. The land this was on was untouched for a very long time and a 13ft gator was caught in the pond about 75 yds away from there, but it was a male. My grandfather bought that land in the 90s and it was a really cool place to hang out growing up. You could grab chunks of limestone off the bottom of the pond and break them open and see all kinds of fossils and shark's teeth fossils inside this limestone. I couldn't imagine how long ago that would have had to have been b/c this was about 80 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico in Alabama. I lit up when I saw this video b/c I used to work very close to where this lady is in a giant swamp called Sabine Pass.
Danger noodle! I was bitten by one when I was 12 - I was trying to catch him and he caught me instead. Got me on my nose-picking finger, and I spent a week in the hospital. Had some tissue loss and nerve damage in the finger, but they didn't amputate any of it. Anyway, I still love snakes, but I'm more careful around venomous ones these days.
You’re good at snatching up the snakes 👍. That’s the size that came after me and got the high top part of my sneakers . Same scenario , woodpile . Didn’t know it was there
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!!
Obviously, not everything is bigger in Texas. Some time ago, we had a local in my community (in Virginia), that killed a copperhead in excess of 5 foot long and the girth around the middle of the body was around 9 inches. It's size was so exceptional that it made the local paper with a pretty good sized write up. But typically 40"-50" long is a typical copperhead around here.
Record for a copperhead is 53 inches long documented by the University of Georgia. It was a road kill specimen from Bolivar Tennessee that was donated because of its large size for a copperhead.
@Richard H INC EMON The record for a copperhead in Virginia is 48". Perhaps this snake was not recorded because it's size was not published until after the snake had been killed. Somewhere in all of my things, I still have the clipping from the paper. The photo shows the gentleman holding the snake by the tail, his arm outstretched shoulder height, and the snake's nose was barely missing the ground. I can't remember if they specified the exact dimensions of the snake down to the fraction or whether they gave the closest even dimension. But I knew the man in questioning he was tall enough that 60" + to his shoulder would not be a stretch. Another consideration, the story was published back in the very early 1980's, and I don't know that they were recording sizes of snake's killed in my area back then. In this area, copperheads are plentiful enough to almost be considered a nuisance, and the man in question was notorious for dispatching them from this area. No sweat off of my nose whether he was 5' or 5", the video just reminded me of the story, and I thought I would share.
@davidhorsley1149 Just came across this comment again. A little bit late but in my home town in NC a 57in copperhead was killed and photographs were in the paper 1982 so you have to notify state Wildlife officials for documentation of the snake to be official . I have been interested in snakes for 61 years now I'm 68 years old. The largest verified pitviper is the Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake 7ft.9in.34lb documented by Guinness World Records 1946 shot and killed by a hunter named Rutledge . The largest verified Cottonmouth was captured in 1990 74in.11lb in the Great dismal swamp North Carolina and Virginia border documentation by NC Wildlife Fish and Game division D.N.R. Take care and have a great day 😊
@richardhincemon Like I said, I didn't measure the snake. The picture was in the paper of the man who killed it, holding the snake by the tail with his arm outstretched, parallel to the ground. The gentleman was over six feet tall, so that put his shoulder height at over five feet, and the snake's nose was missing the ground by about two or three inches. I stand to gain absolutely nothing by inflating the size of the snake. I didn't feed and raise it to that size, and I didn't kill it. I just thought I would share the story and make a joke at the expense of Texas.
@@davidhorsley1149I think I know this picture. I think it was due to the angle of the picture taken. Not done on purpose to be misleading. Just the way it was taken. I'm sure there's bigger snakes out there. Just like in life. There's always something bigger and worse out there.
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.
We have a family friend she is 75 she got bit by two different copperheads on the same day she lives in Mineral Wells Texas. Let me tell you she only weighs 90 lb but she is one tough old bird and she got through it okay
I live in NZ we don't have any species of snakes It is good to see people living with snakes having a healthy respect for them especially if they are poisonous. I appreciate living in a country where we can wander freely without worrying about being bitten by snakes
The owner should atleast help her with the box wen she arrived.First time watching this channel, Wow!! Never see a Beautiful woman handle a dangerous snake like that.Bravo👍
I didn't get to see the snake but for a a eighth of a second get a new camera guy he's obviously terrified of snakes i would have really liked to have gotten a good look at the snake A for effort nice video!
Lol yeah I took two pretty big Copperheads out of a neighbor's cellar a couple summers ago, and relocated them way down in the woods below our barn. I had one in my hands held up to get a photo, and the guy I had given my phone to get a couple pics of me holding it, was so freaked out by it, that he wouldn't get close enough to me for a good shot😄. I would step forward, and he would take about 3 steps backwards. I took them both to my garage, and got some good shots of them, but no selfies holding one. Safety first with those snakes. They won't hardly ever kill an adult human, but I've seen bite results and have been told by others that the venom produces enormous pain.
@@timchilders3535 correct me if I'm wrong but there isn't a snake venom vaccine or whatever it's called if someone gets bit by a snake then they get a shot that kills the snake venom but they don't have any for a copperhead bite correct? I'm not scared of snakes but I give them their space several years back me and my dad was picking up fence post that was laying on the ground and a snake went slithering off and i grabbed it thinking it was a chicken snake and it about got me and I threw it down and it was a copperhead snake 😂
@@rileyjothecorso9732 There is an antivenin called Crofab, that would be the type used, for all our native Pit Viper species, basically all Rattlesnake subspecies, Water moccasin, and Copperheads. In my understanding, they usually avoid administering it for Copperhead bites,maybe occasionally, if deemed to be a pretty heavy envenomation, I really can't say for sure why or why not. The Copperhead has by far the least toxic venom of the Pit Viper snakes, and if one is fortunate enough to take a dry bite, with little to no envenomation, it can be a fairly quick recovery. Heavy envenomations can and will cause serious pain, and serious tissue damage and loss, even possible digit loss. They're still a pretty nasty bite. I do know the Crofab is extremely expensive, that may factor in the decisions not to use as well. Oh and lol yes you got lucky, to let loose of that Copperhead before it tagged you. They generally thrash and whip around pretty wildly if picked up unexpectedly or roughly.
@@timchilders3535 I wasn't sure i was watching a video and they were talking about something like that about the copperheads when you see one of those guys that's colored like a new penny copper they are a beautiful snake the one that the lady caught on that video looked like it had the bright copper color but I couldn't tell the camera guy didn't get a great shot of the snake had me really disappointed 😞
@@rileyjothecorso9732 Yes I'd love to have seen a little more of the snake, it looked like a beautiful one. Copperheads really are pretty, when you take a moment and just look at their vibrant colors and patterning. The last two I saw were super light colored, with perfect reddish brownish Hershey Kisses markings, and like you mentioned, their heads were strikingly shiny copper colored. There are a few various Copperhead subspecies, that look a little different. The Broadbandeds have the usual colorations, but instead of the Hershey Kisses patterning, it's just a series of bands. Still easy to spot as a Copperhead. Osage look a little different. The wildest ones, are some rare mutants found in Mississippi, that have stripes, that run the length of their bodies, with maybe a little of the classic patterning near close to the tail. I've only seen photos, science hasn't really 100% figured them out yet I don't think. They look wild. Still look like Copperheads, at least to me, I'm sure most people pretty familiar with snakes will realize it's a venomous pit viper, and once you take a good look, the colorations are pretty much spot on Copperhead, just really mixed up! I don't keep any snakes or other reptiles for "pets" and I really don't even go looking for snakes anymore like I used to. I just keep my eyes open and hope to see one, and I do removal relocations for anyone that needs, or if I just happen to find one in a potentially dangerous situation.
With that snake around they don't need those rat traps! I have a hunch the homeowner's mom, who volunteered to catch the snake, comes from a place where she had to deal with one-step and two-step snakes.
@@bunnyman6321 One step snake bites you and you take one step and you're dead. With 2 step snake you get two steps til you're dead. Black mamba, krate, Australian brown snake.
One night about 3 years ago my wife took out the garbage in N C Florida and temperature was 38° and about 40 min later I got my night time medicine and I notice what looked like a Lizard just under the refrigerator, well I had to be quiet cause my wife would scream, I finally got him with a broom and swept it back out front door…I spoke to a neighbor and he said it was a Tree Snake? Not deadly, sort of Green and pink in color, never saw one before….i treat all snakes as deadly….love your show…
They really are beautiful animals but they have a bad habit of living exceptionally close to humans. Just the other day, we had one try to slither into our garage while we were standing there.
I was on a road job in the Ouachita Mountains between Talihina and Honobia. We were winding down for the day on a Friday evening. A trail ride group were assembling with horse trailers and I was servicing equipment. A woman let out a scream and climbed the pickup shouting about snakes. Of course that drew a crowd headed that way and she said not to come near because the ground was alive with copperheads. She had apparently backed the trailer into a ball of them. We killed them with axes by the dozens. Some were huge and instead of smooth as usual were so old they had large scales on them. The Indians from down in that part of the country say they migrate across the mountains in breeding colonies. I just know I don't want to see any more like that.
Camera girl freaking out needing more room while Shannon casually catches snake and puts it in the box. LoL
"We need room" he said. I was thinking, the next zip code?

Copperheads are some of the scariest snakes to me locally. Their camouflage is AMAZING and they don't ever seem very docile in videos.
And they climb trees! My dad lives in N. Texas, and I thought I only had to watch the ground for them. But up in the trees like the rainforest? I'm out!! 😱🐍
They are by far the most aggressive snake I've seen. Tried moving one away, it wouldn't go. Most snakes flee at the first chance. Not the copperhead.
Obviously haven't been to Australia! Four of the six most dangerous (aggressively AND venomously) snakes in the world live here; and sometimes they get quite narky when you grab them by the tail to throw them out of the house.

Lots of copperheads around my land but I haven't seen an aggressive one yet. They usually go motionless and hope you don't notice them. All is good as long as you do see them and avoid them. I wouldn't want to step on one. Really weird that I haven't seen any the last few years. Use to see 3-4 a year.
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).

Yes.
Damn she’s absolutely beautiful.
I'm glad I live in Alaska. No snakes at all. Zero. Zip. None. That's the way I like it.
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.
Most of the snakes in the uk are in parliament
Yeah, but you have Bears and Wolves. We all have something to keep us on our toes.

Could it have been a natrix sipedon (water snake)? Looks very similar and frequently misidentified as copperhead or water moccasin.
Copperheads have attitude and will not get out of your way most of the time. If you get close, it will strike at you. Be very careful with these cocky bastards.

The eastern copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix), also known simply as the copperhead, is a species of venomous snake, a pit viper, endemic to eastern North America; it is a member of the subfamily Crotalinae in the family Viperidae.
The eastern copperhead has distinctive, dark brown, hourglass-shaped markings, overlaid on a light reddish brown or brown/gray background. The body type is heavy, rather than slender. Neonates are born with green or yellow tail tips, which progress to a darker brown or black within one year. Adults grow to a typical length (including tail) of 50-95 cm (20-37 in).
In most of North America, the eastern copperhead favors deciduous forest and mixed woodlands. It may occupy rock outcroppings and ledges, but is also found in low-lying, swampy regions. During the winter, it hibernates in dens or limestone crevices, often together with timber rattlesnakes and black rat snakes.[4] The eastern copperhead is known to feed on a wide variety of prey, including invertebrates (primarily arthropods) and vertebrates. Like most pit vipers, the eastern copperhead is generally an ambush predator; it takes up a promising position and waits for suitable prey to arrive.
As a common species within its range, it may be encountered by humans. Unlike other viperids, it often "freezes" instead of slithering away and fleeing, due to its habit of relying on excellent camouflage. Bites occur due to people unknowingly stepping on or near them.[6] Copperhead bites account for half of the treated snake bites in the United States.[7]
Five subspecies have been recognized in the past, but recent genetic analysis had yielded new species information.
Etymology
Its generic name is derived from the Greek words ankistron "hook, fishhook" and odon, variant of odous "tooth". The trivial name, or specific epithet, comes from the Latin contortus (twisted, intricate, complex), which is usually interpreted to reference the distorted pattern of darker bands across the snake's back, which are broad at the lateral base, but "pinched" into narrow hourglass shapes in the middle at the vertebral area.

I had an aunt who lived in Pineville Kentucky. She and my uncle had 3 chicken coops behind their house and every summet, we would watch my aunt get her tools and pull copperheads out from under the coops. Brave woman!
She really knows how to handle a big snake!😂
When will that video be up? I would like to know how to identify a copper head moving to Mathis in Lake City area Texas
I was at my Dentist office recently and there was a woman there wearing Western boots and she was wearing a long dress. I told her that I liked her boots and that she looked very lady liked. She thanked me. What an awesome sized Copperhead snake to get back on subject of this video.
You are not interested in the snakes mate
it helps not to have piles of lumber, etc. for snakes to hide in, same with brush -- keep area around house clear
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. 🤔

I've been an alligator fanatic since I was 5. Always fascinated with them and learned how to do call them with the baby gator chirp. That really really works well at getting a gator to come to you. When I was about 13 or 14 me and another guy found a baby gator nest. It wasn't an actual nest. They had already hatched and were all hanging out in this little lagoon that was on one side of this small creek. We didn't see the mother gator. I came back later that same afternoon to see if mother gator was around. I still didn't see her, but I figured she's probably on the bottom of the creek somewhere, so I started doing the chirp and watching the creek. Something caught my eye below me, and I look down and there is this giant black head coming out of a hole in the bank literally right up under my feet. I was not a running back when I played football but for the next 20 seconds, I could have run in the NFL I moved so fast. She was in a hole that was made by a natural spring that came out of the side of the bank, but you couldn't tell there was a hole there when you're standing on top of the bank. The land this was on was untouched for a very long time and a 13ft gator was caught in the pond about 75 yds away from there, but it was a male. My grandfather bought that land in the 90s and it was a really cool place to hang out growing up. You could grab chunks of limestone off the bottom of the pond and break them open and see all kinds of fossils and shark's teeth fossils inside this limestone. I couldn't imagine how long ago that would have had to have been b/c this was about 80 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico in Alabama. I lit up when I saw this video b/c I used to work very close to where this lady is in a giant swamp called Sabine Pass.
Danger noodle! I was bitten by one when I was 12 - I was trying to catch him and he caught me instead. Got me on my nose-picking finger, and I spent a week in the hospital. Had some tissue loss and nerve damage in the finger, but they didn't amputate any of it. Anyway, I still love snakes, but I'm more careful around venomous ones these days.

Wow love the view from behind.She can come catch my snake anytime.😅
Obviously, not everything is bigger in Texas. Some time ago, we had a local in my community (in Virginia), that killed a copperhead in excess of 5 foot long and the girth around the middle of the body was around 9 inches. It's size was so exceptional that it made the local paper with a pretty good sized write up. But typically 40"-50" long is a typical copperhead around here.
Record for a copperhead is 53 inches long documented by the University of Georgia. It was a road kill specimen from Bolivar Tennessee that was donated because of its large size for a copperhead.
@Richard H INC EMON The record for a copperhead in Virginia is 48". Perhaps this snake was not recorded because it's size was not published until after the snake had been killed.
Somewhere in all of my things, I still have the clipping from the paper. The photo shows the gentleman holding the snake by the tail, his arm outstretched shoulder height, and the snake's nose was barely missing the ground.
I can't remember if they specified the exact dimensions of the snake down to the fraction or whether they gave the closest even dimension. But I knew the man in questioning he was tall enough that 60" + to his shoulder would not be a stretch. Another consideration, the story was published back in the very early 1980's, and I don't know that they were recording sizes of snake's killed in my area back then. In this area, copperheads are plentiful enough to almost be considered a nuisance, and the man in question was notorious for dispatching them from this area.
No sweat off of my nose whether he was 5' or 5", the video just reminded me of the story, and I thought I would share.
@davidhorsley1149 Just came across this comment again. A little bit late but in my home town in NC a 57in copperhead was killed and photographs were in the paper 1982 so you have to notify state Wildlife officials for documentation of the snake to be official . I have been interested in snakes for 61 years now I'm 68 years old. The largest verified pitviper is the Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake 7ft.9in.34lb documented by Guinness World Records 1946 shot and killed by a hunter named Rutledge . The largest verified Cottonmouth was captured in 1990 74in.11lb in the Great dismal swamp North Carolina and Virginia border documentation by NC Wildlife Fish and Game division D.N.R. Take care and have a great day 😊
@richardhincemon Like I said, I didn't measure the snake. The picture was in the paper of the man who killed it, holding the snake by the tail with his arm outstretched, parallel to the ground. The gentleman was over six feet tall, so that put his shoulder height at over five feet, and the snake's nose was missing the ground by about two or three inches.
I stand to gain absolutely nothing by inflating the size of the snake. I didn't feed and raise it to that size, and I didn't kill it. I just thought I would share the story and make a joke at the expense of Texas.
@@davidhorsley1149I think I know this picture. I think it was due to the angle of the picture taken. Not done on purpose to be misleading. Just the way it was taken. I'm sure there's bigger snakes out there. Just like in life. There's always something bigger and worse out there.
Walk softly and carry a twelve gauge.
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.

Lol yeah I took two pretty big Copperheads out of a neighbor's cellar a couple summers ago, and relocated them way down in the woods below our barn. I had one in my hands held up to get a photo, and the guy I had given my phone to get a couple pics of me holding it, was so freaked out by it, that he wouldn't get close enough to me for a good shot😄. I would step forward, and he would take about 3 steps backwards. I took them both to my garage, and got some good shots of them, but no selfies holding one. Safety first with those snakes. They won't hardly ever kill an adult human, but I've seen bite results and have been told by others that the venom produces enormous pain.
@@timchilders3535 correct me if I'm wrong but there isn't a snake venom vaccine or whatever it's called if someone gets bit by a snake then they get a shot that kills the snake venom but they don't have any for a copperhead bite correct? I'm not scared of snakes but I give them their space several years back me and my dad was picking up fence post that was laying on the ground and a snake went slithering off and i grabbed it thinking it was a chicken snake and it about got me and I threw it down and it was a copperhead snake 😂
@@rileyjothecorso9732 There is an antivenin called Crofab, that would be the type used, for all our native Pit Viper species, basically all Rattlesnake subspecies, Water moccasin, and Copperheads. In my understanding, they usually avoid administering it for Copperhead bites,maybe occasionally, if deemed to be a pretty heavy envenomation, I really can't say for sure why or why not. The Copperhead has by far the least toxic venom of the Pit Viper snakes, and if one is fortunate enough to take a dry bite, with little to no envenomation, it can be a fairly quick recovery. Heavy envenomations can and will cause serious pain, and serious tissue damage and loss, even possible digit loss. They're still a pretty nasty bite. I do know the Crofab is extremely expensive, that may factor in the decisions not to use as well. Oh and lol yes you got lucky, to let loose of that Copperhead before it tagged you. They generally thrash and whip around pretty wildly if picked up unexpectedly or roughly.
@@timchilders3535 I wasn't sure i was watching a video and they were talking about something like that about the copperheads when you see one of those guys that's colored like a new penny copper they are a beautiful snake the one that the lady caught on that video looked like it had the bright copper color but I couldn't tell the camera guy didn't get a great shot of the snake had me really disappointed 😞
@@rileyjothecorso9732 Yes I'd love to have seen a little more of the snake, it looked like a beautiful one. Copperheads really are pretty, when you take a moment and just look at their vibrant colors and patterning. The last two I saw were super light colored, with perfect reddish brownish Hershey Kisses markings, and like you mentioned, their heads were strikingly shiny copper colored. There are a few various Copperhead subspecies, that look a little different. The Broadbandeds have the usual colorations, but instead of the Hershey Kisses patterning, it's just a series of bands. Still easy to spot as a Copperhead. Osage look a little different. The wildest ones, are some rare mutants found in Mississippi, that have stripes, that run the length of their bodies, with maybe a little of the classic patterning near close to the tail. I've only seen photos, science hasn't really 100% figured them out yet I don't think. They look wild. Still look like Copperheads, at least to me, I'm sure most people pretty familiar with snakes will realize it's a venomous pit viper, and once you take a good look, the colorations are pretty much spot on Copperhead, just really mixed up! I don't keep any snakes or other reptiles for "pets" and I really don't even go looking for snakes anymore like I used to. I just keep my eyes open and hope to see one, and I do removal relocations for anyone that needs, or if I just happen to find one in a potentially dangerous situation.

I was on a road job in the Ouachita Mountains between Talihina and Honobia. We were winding down for the day on a Friday evening. A trail ride group were assembling with horse trailers and I was servicing equipment. A woman let out a scream and climbed the pickup shouting about snakes. Of course that drew a crowd headed that way and she said not to come near because the ground was alive with copperheads. She had apparently backed the trailer into a ball of them. We killed them with axes by the dozens. Some were huge and instead of smooth as usual were so old they had large scales on them.
