In both cases I did go to the ED, however. Dry bites are very common with copperheads. You really have to piss it off to get a "wet" bite. As venomous snakes go, this one is pretty much at the bottom of the ladder along with the coral snake to being dangerous. It takes a lot to get a coral snake to bite you, and since they possess very small fangs, they have to grab and hold on to envenomate you . Their venom, however, is the most potent in North America. Still, they remain one of the only venomous snakes I have yet to have as a pet!</p></blockquote><p></p>
