Description

A captive animal kept at the Sandy Bottom Nature Park in Hampton VA...
Copperheads are a beautiful member of the pit viper family. A fairly common snake in this area they are not nearly as dangerous as many people think. Though venomous, their bites are rarely fatal when treated promptly and like most other animals when confronted with a human their first response is to flee; not strike. One should always be aware of any potentially dangerous animals in their area and make a point to know their habits and habitat so that they may be avoided...not destroyed!

I had one of these as a pet when I was about 7 years old. That is, until I showed it to my parents :D
