Maybe you’ve seen this viral photograph of a copperhead nestled among the leaves. Sssso while you ssssearch, we wanted share some hints on what to look for to spot the venomous snake:
🐍 They are about two to three feet long.
🐍 They have dark brown hourglass-shaped bands.
🐍 Young copperheads have a bright yellow tip on their tails.
Copperheads aren’t the only venomous snake in the Upstate. That’s why Clemson University Ph.D. graduate Rhett Rautsaw created VenomMaps , which shows the areas where all 158 pit viper species live in North, South, and Central America.
