The copperhead snake is one of the most infamous reptiles in the Southeastern US, but how much of what we know about these snakes is fact and how much is fiction? In this episode of The Wild Report, we catch a wild copperhead and address some common misconceptions about their venom, aggression, and identification!

If you've made it this far in the description, remember to be safe when creature adventuring! Most wild animals can cause injury if harassed, and I do not recommend attempting to capture any creatures without purpose and practice. The reason that I interact with wildlife is to produce these educational videos, and I have years of zoology experience under my belt. Also, I always ask permission from a land owner before exploring on their property, and you should do the same.

Keep adventuring everywhere, and keep your adventures safe at all times!
