I love this guy! A buddy gave this copperhead to me last weekend. He was found crawling across the road in middle GA. I love this pattern and cannot wait to breed him.

Nice copper!
And it does have a nice pattern, but is it genetic or just a temp fluctuation during incubation?

Temperature variation during development is always a possibility. There is no way to tell until I breed him. I have not seen pattern variations due to temp fluctuations too often in live bearing, particularly vipers. However, the same thought ran through my mind as well.

Muchly cute! But aren't copperheads poisonous? If so, are you stocked up on antivenom? [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

No, copperheads are not poisonous. They are VENOMOUS [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] All of the U.S. pitvipers are treated witht he same antivenin (either Wyeth Crotalidae Polyvalent or CroFab) So most hospitals will have some. Even though we are in a nationwide shortage of antivenin.

Hmm what's the difference? Venomous won't necessarily poison a human?

Poisonous refers to a substance that must be ingested or come in contact with skin. Venom must be injected.
