seriously don't blink see the snake
there
[Music]
see yon Copperhead beautiful snake how
do we know it's a copperhead well it has
a copper colored head and also by the
hourglass pattern on its back sometimes
this is easily remembered as they
resemble Hershey's Kisses but how do we
know that this is a young Copperhead
well first of all it's small and some
species of vipers are born with yellow
tails copperheads to use it as a lure to
attract prey like lizards frogs or even
emerging cicadas I recently found out
that there's a myth going around that
this yellow tail is supposed to be as
dangerous as the fangs
but of course this is not true there's
no venom in the tail of a snake
including copperheads snake venom does
happen to be yellow here are all 12
strikes in real time then we'll look at
them slow down I'm not real big on
moving snakes and with this one I didn't
need to
[Music]
by far the most interesting strike is
the very first one this snake strike
from an uncoiled position the snake
gives no indication that will strike not
even a tongue hook this shoots down a
common myth that a snake cannot strike
unless his court
[Music]
watch it
[Music]
look is actually off the ground
you can see that the little guy gives
full effort in each lunge but recoils
back into nearly the same place and
sometimes it's fun by momentum
[Music]
the snake never took his eyes off me I
was a huge hot party
[Music]
all right we're gonna get this guy off
the street
[Music]
I release it on the side of the road
before a car came along so that it may
get to strike another day
