The copperhead is aptly named, gaining its title from the reddish or copper coloration of its head. It is one of three venomous snakes found in Ohio and is the most numerous and most frequently encountered venomous snake. However, even though the copperhead does have the potential to inflict harm, it is like most other snakes--nonagressive. The copperhead will take a defensive posture only when directly threatened. The bite of a copperhead, while painful and capable of producing severe illness, rarely results in death.
