The good news is that its venom typically isn’t deadly to humans, but the bad news is that a bite can still be extremely painful.
Overall, copperheads are fairly laid-back snakes and won’t go after you—unless you step on one and make it angry.
As you can see from the image above, copperheads love to blend in with the leaves, making them very difficult to spot.
Unfortunately, many people were having a hard time finding the snake, with one person commenting: “Oh! There it—nope. Oh! It’s th—nope. Honestly, it’s crazy how effective camouflage is.”
“Until I joined this sub, I’d only ever seen pictures of snakes in books against a stark white background, but seeing camouflage really work in the wild is something else.”
“Well, it just makes me never want to go into the woods again.”
An experienced ‘snake spotter’ commented: “Living in the South my whole life… it’s super easy. Lol. But they’re really good at camouflaging,” while another added: “I’ve gotten pretty good at spotting them myself; he just took me by surprise. Great eye!”
Without further ado, one eagle-eyed user pointed out that the copperhead is in the ‘bottom left-hand corner’.
“But you’ve got to keep your eyes sharp! He’s almost completely hidden!” they explained.
