by my research the copper head it is said to be more poisonous if it bites deep into your skin

I don't know where the above respondent did the "research" but this is not true, as far as humans are concerned the venom is very similar but the the rattlesnake gets the edge because of its larger venom glands and fangs!

The copperhead of North America is less venomous than the rattlers, but the snake called "copperhead" of Australia is more toxic than rattlesnakes.

How does a snake get its rattle?

The rattle is composed of a series of nested, hollow beads which are actually modified scales from the tail tip. Each time the snake sheds its skin, a new rattle segment is added. Newborn rattlesnakes do not have a rattle, they gain one after the first time they shed their skin. Adult snakes may lose their rattles on occasion, but more appear at each molting. If the rattle absorbs enough water in wet weather, it will not make noise.
