The Link is to Steve Earl doing "Copperhead Road" on the David Letterman show. Steve has been one of my favorite singer/songwriters for a long, very long time now. He's certainly about as fearful as stirring the pot as you or I are!
Four feet and six inches long is the length for the largest ever reported Copperhead, a full foot shorter in length than the longest Water Moccasin that I have killed myself. This snake, however, is one that is camouflaged to the max in regards to it's environment. One of these can be stepped on without knowing, unless of course, you suddenly feel a sharp pain followed by nausea, then you'll know, and hopefully you will have someone to carry you to a car, and drive you to a hospital for a bit of anti venom. Cell phones, what did we ever do without them?
One hundred milligrams of venom is the estimated lethal dose of Copperhead venom, and this is slightly less than the lethal dose of the Water Moccasin; the Water Moccasin, however, injects much more venom in a typical bite than does a Copperhead. In any case, a trip to an Emergency Room, and a dose of CroFab anti venom should make the experience of a Pit Viper's snake bite into a wonderful family story - a warning for the grandkids.
Agkistrodon contortrix is the Latin for the Genus and species for the North American Pit Viper snake which has come to be known as the Copperhead, and this snake is smaller, and is supposed to have a less deadly venom than it's cousin, the Water Moccasin does. The Copperhead is an ambush predator, which likes to find an opportunistic spot to wait for frogs and small rodents to happen into. For that reason alone, the snake is useful to have around - just so long as it is not too close to the homestead.
It's important to know that these predatory reptiles don't have any desire to bite you or I, and they will leave the area given the opportunity, however, they tend to freeze, and remain totally still rather than slither away when approached by humans. This is surely the result of the common human reaction to seeing a snake, i.e., "kill it on sight." Copperheads have faith in their very good camo, but when physical contact is made, often a "dry bite," or bite without making a venomous injection is the result for the fortunate. Though all American Pit Viper snakes are capable of dry biting, the Copperhead is especially fond of this method of warning. I'm reasonably certain that dry bite or venomous bite, all snake bites should be checked out by a physician. I have issues, personally, with the cleanliness of any reptile's mouth. I think that you should have those same concerns.
In a video on the web I had once viewed, a man said, "most adults recover from Copperhead bites with no medical treatment at all."
Hey Fallen Valkyrie! We've a well known family of local redneck warriors. . .um. . .well.. . . .most know of them, and avoid them, and for good reason. Anyone, the younger and more aggressive one (He's well over 40, still looks for fist fights) is quite a colorful storyteller, and the best story I've heard him tell is how his older brother ( think Billy Bob Thornton - "I Like The Way You Talk HMMMMMM) once ate a water moccasin, and had to be taken to the emergency room.
