Eastern copperhead
The eastern copperhead is a venomous pit viper that lives across much of the eastern United States. It has hourglass-shaped bands on a tan or reddish-brown body, which help it hide in leaves and clay. It is common, so people sometimes meet it without realising, and it makes up half of the treated snake bites in the United States.1

Sida loo aqoonsado
- Dark brown, hourglass-shaped crossbands on a light reddish-brown or brown background1
- A heavy, stout body rather than a slender one1
- A broad head that is distinct from the neck1
- Young have green or yellow tail tips, which darken to brown or black within a year1
- Adults are typically 50 to 95 cm long, including the tail1
Inta badan lagu khaldaa: The snout slopes down and back, so it looks less blunt than the snout of the cottonmouth. The head also extends further forward than the mouth.1

Khatarta dadka: HalisQaniinyo waxay u baahan tahay dhakhtar. Dhimashadu aad bay u yar tahay.Copperhead bites account for half of the treated snake bites in the United States. Bites usually happen when people unknowingly step on or near the snake. It is generally nonaggressive and will strike only if threatened as a last resort.1
Muxuu sameeyaa marka uu baqo?
It often freezes instead of fleeing, relying on its camouflage, and may vibrate its tail when closely approached.1
Haddii uu qaniino
- Qofka ka dhig mid aan dhaqaaqin oo deggan, xubinta la qaniinay ku hay heerka wadnaha, ka saar faraantiyada iyo waxyaabaha adag, si degdeg ahna u geey isbitaalka.

Badbaado
- Weligaa ha taaban, ha qaban, hana ku ciyaarin xayawaan duurjoog ah, xitaa mid yar, xitaa haddii uu u muuqdo inuu hurdo ama dhintay.
- Meel u bannee. Haddii aad mid la kulanto, deg, tartiib dib ugu noqo oo u daa inuu jidkiisa maro.
- Haddii mid ku qaniino: deg, ha dhaqaaqin, wac lambarka gurmadka degdegga ah (112, 000, 911) ama si degdeg ah u tag isbitaalka. Xusuuso sida uu u egyahay, sawir ayaa caawiya.

Xaqiiqooyin
Its tail can vibrate more than 40 times per second, faster than almost any non-rattlesnake snake.1
Juveniles wave a brightly coloured tail to attract frogs and perhaps lizards, a behaviour called caudal luring.1
Its camouflage is so good that it can be almost impossible to see on dead leaves or red clay.1
In Texas, copperheads have been found in bushes, vines and trees up to 12 metres above the ground, seeking newly emerged cicadas.1
Its venom has potential medicinal value to humans.1
Historically, kingsnakes were major predators of copperheads, and recent copperhead numbers have risen where kingsnake populations have declined.1
Beeniye-jabiye
Khuraafaad: Copperheads are aggressive snakes that chase people and go looking for trouble.
Run: They are generally nonaggressive. They usually freeze or flee, and they strike only if threatened as a last resort. Most bites happen when people step on or near them without noticing.1
