Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

My dad was given 20 viles of some antivenom when he was in the hospital for a broadband copperhead bite...not sure what kind but he nearly lost his thumb. Just because coppers are considered "mild" doesn't make them any less dangerous by any means.

Broadbanded/Trans-Pecos are more toxic than Northern and Southern copperheads.

I absolutely love my copperhead, very gorgeous snakes in a setup. As far getting bit, I wouldn't know as it hasn't happened and I take quite a bit precaution with my hots. I've got some footage of him striking at my camera. They're quick lil buggers thats for sure. Best advice is treat Any hot snake with caution and know your protocols per species. Utilize your hooks and tongs and be sure when transferring to tubs that your lids are secure and out of reach of animals and people. Personally I'd suggest something a little more sluggish like a great basin rattlesnake for your first. Easy to work with as far as they're less squirrely than copperheads in my opinion. Also significantly calmer demeanor but like all hots, handle with care. Best of luck.
