How do you know when a copperhead is around?

Answer 1

You don't until you see it. They aren't like a rattlesnake that may or may not make a noise.

Answer 2

Copperheads are venomous snakes that can be identified by their distinctive copper-colored heads and hourglass-shaped markings on their bodies. They are most active during warmer months and can often be found in rocky areas, woodlands, and near sources of water. You may also hear a rustling sound before spotting a copperhead, as they tend to move through dry leaves and debris. Remember to stay at a safe distance if you encounter one in the wild.
