RETIREDFAN1 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Its that time of year again! Copperhead tips: 1) If an adult bites you, it’s possible you’d only get a dry bite. But go to the hospital as soon as possible anyway. 2) If you smell cucumber for no reason, you are within striking distance of a copperhead and you have already disturbed him. 3) Juveniles often have a yellow tip on the tail and they ALWAYS DUMP ALL THEIR VENOM. 4) Possums eat all snakes they find including copperheads, so leave the possums alone. 5) Other snakes such as rat snakes compete with copperheads for food and have been seen eating juvenile snakes just like King snakes eat copperheads, so dont kill other snakes. they are harmless, leave them be. learn to identify all snakes in your area. Are YOU checking for SNAKES... Check all of your children's outdoor toys, shoes etc before you let them play with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
