Rattle snakes will almost always warn you of their presence and that they are unhappy with your’s. Copperheads are silent.

I lived in NC for a few years and the very first time I mowed my lawn, I ran over a copperhead that I hadn’t seen with the mower. From then on, lawns were always mowed wearing long pants and boots. I saw dozens of copperheads over that two year period. Very beautiful snake...from a safe distance.

I ran over a copperhead that I hadn’t seen with the mower.

Did the blades get it or was it low enough in the grass to sneak under?

He says most hospitals carry antivenom

Poor 'journalism'....the term is "antivenin".

A friend of mine was bit by a Copperhead this past spring...looked out the door and saw his daughters puppy trying to “play” with the snake. He reached for the dog and it struck him in his hand....spent 4 days in the hospital.
