Copperheads are notorious dry biters. I've seen them do it many times to food that scares them (eg, live mice). I have heard a lot of anecdotal reports of dry bites to keepers. So your buddy who was bitten and did not need medical attention may well have recieved a bluff bite with no venom.

A copperhead envenomation is unlikely to be fatal but can result in the loss of a finger or a substantial chunk of meat and bone from wherever it bites you. Medical attention is warranted for copperhead bites.
