Yep copperheads in the wild for most part don't get to big like some rattlesnakes but they are mean and much more likely to bite when cornered or messed with than most snakes. They are a snake I worry the most about since they are quick to strike if jostled and you can step next one and not even see it in some foliage. We have a bumper crop of chipmunks this year and hawks are big on the prowl, wondering when the copperheads will start showing up. Pretty certain they are around but its just rare to see them unless your looking for them.
