copperhead

It is said that copperheads are very shy of humans.

Found throughout the eastern and southern U.S., copperheads can easily survive in developed areas like suburban neighborhoods, which is one of the reason the species is responsible for the most venomous snake bites every year.

Farris says he's been doing local relocations for free for a couple of years, mostly rattlesnakes and copperheads.

They can even handle the bite from venomous snakes such as cottonmouths, timber rattlesnakes and copperheads.

Yards near wooded lots have the best chance of harboring copperheads, but copperheads thrive in many suburban and urban settings, so be mindful when walking or working outside.
