Unlike most venomous snakes, copperheads give no warning signs and strike almost immediately if they feel threatened. Copperheads have hemotoxic venom, said Beane, which means that a copperhead bite often results in temporary tissue damage in the immediate area of bite. Their bite may be painful but is very rarely (almost never) fatal to humans.
