Copperhead vs. Copperhead, two venomous snakes from the USA and Australia! 

The copperhead from America is my favorite. I have seen quite a few of these while I’ve been out hiking, and they are such a beautiful snake.

Your video and audio quality is always so good! This was really nice, and I'm excited about what other species you found in Florida and Australia.

Great video. In 1995 I caught a newborn Osage Copperhead (now Eastern I think). I kept her for 21 years. She was wonderful. A stand out among a wide variety of other snakes I kept. At age 9 she delivered a parthenogenetic baby, followed by 18 more over the next few years. This was tremendously exciting as it predated documentation of the phenomenon in snakes in the literature.

I've been walking on trails and have come across copperheads. I've encountered them in Florida and Indiana. They are beautiful , and I admire them from a distance. I love seeing them warming on the rocks. I love both species , so it's hard to pick one.

Thanks you have, at least in my eyes the premium snake channel!! I live in the red belly black snake capital of Australia, or so it seems and I love it as they are beautiful snakes. Very sadly I lost one of my pure desert dingoes less than a year ago to a red belly. This really broke my heart but I have no animosity to these essential animals. Of these 2 I think I’ll choose the Australian Copper head as the markings are beautiful. In all my time in the bush I have yet to see one. Please please keep your format and never add music, much more pleasant listening to the native wildlife and bush sounds.

Copperheads also have heat sensors, as typical with pit vipers. Excellent video of the snakes, including the close-ups.

As always, love your work. I didn't even know that a copperhead existed outside of the Americas--but as you show, it's a very different snake over there in Austrailia...barely a cousin. On the other hand, I had a run in with a different type of copperhead, which I didn't recognise at the time but confirmed later at the ranger station: it was the trans-pecos copperhead, encountered in the Ozarks of northern Arkansas. I was advised by friends, in the heat of the encounter, that it was a "fox snake". However, something about the snake's posture & demeanor told me that it could be dangerous, (whereas fox snakes are totally non vevemous). I'm glad I listened to my intuition, as attempting to pick up any species of pit viper, free hand & without any type of snake hook, could have ended with a very unpleasant hospital visit. Your videos have helped change my perspective. Rather than "catching" whatever snake I may come across, why not catch it instead on video or in photographs?

I greatly enjoy watching Agkistrodon contortrix. I live in the USA, and I do safe relocation of the species in my area, to help avoid bites and unnecessary deaths. This one is truly a beautiful species and deserves to be admired from safe distance.

Superbly photographed, you captured their true beauty

I’ve lived on a farm in north central Kansas for most of my life and the Copperhead is one of the most common snake species I see regularly. This being said I can tell about so many experiences I’ve encountered/discovered with them. Most of these involve oddly enough that they seem curious, and will even approach people. This could be a factor of the amount of bites, and the unfortunate stigma they get of being aggressive. Great video nonetheless, and great content as always!!

Beautiful footages of the two different copperheads in USA and Australia!

Very nice Idea to make a Dokumentation about two Snakes. I only heard from Agkistrodon contortrix (im german). Wonderful Footage from Wonderful Snakes! Which species i like more? I don't know...

The Australian copperhead has beautiful colours & the American one’s camouflage is brilliant

I'm a big fan of the beautiful colors on the USA copperhead. So stunning and rich! I've surprisingly only 1 while out hunting in southern Nebraska. I've probably walked near far more 🤣

Can’t believe the American copperhead hasn’t tried to sue the Australian one yet.

Such beautiful snakes! 😍

Australia's copperheads will bite chunks out of the USA ones. Great vid. Plain and simple and very informative. I only now see that you both wear snakes.

To answer your question, easy: for me, it's the American copperhead, because I find it beautiful, but quite mellow as well. Beyond that, my very favorite is the trans-pecos copperhead, which I encountered one time by chance, in a park in the Ozarks in northern Arkansas. Fortunately I had the good sense not to try to pick it up. If one day you should have the occasion to film the quite rare trans-pecos copperhead, found, I believe, in parts of New Mexico, Texas & Arkansas & beyond, that would be way cool, guys. Love your work, as always.

They are both beautiful and need to be preserved in their native environment. Love the channel thnx guys!

of the two I would say the American is my fav. because I know that snake.

I meant to say, they are not aggressive, just too well camouflaged.

My Aunt was bitten by a copperhead picking strawberry's her ankle swelled up turned black also made her really sick..

I like the one who is shy and doesn't bite much.

Copperhead (Aus) are beautiful. We have them down on Phillip Island (known for its Penguins), in Victoria. Specifically the Lowlands Copperhead (A.superbus), very shy and unassuming snakes.

My favorite copperhead is the one I'm not close to. They are a great pest control they work for free. Also thank you for using inches also makes it lot easier not to good with the metric system so again thank you for putting in the time to do that.

I had never seen one till last fall after a day of hiking while at my campsite in East Tennessee I had one crawl right through my campsite. Luckily my little dog chose discretion over valor for once, felt fortunate neither of us were bitten as I had just been getting wood out of the truck. Needless to say I enjoyed the campfire from the top of the picnic table that night😂😂

Thank you for another amazing video

Woow, this is amazing, thank you for coming back.

Beautiful snakes, beautifully filmed. Thank you so much. The North American is my favorite. Sorry Australia.

my favorite is Agkistrodon, my left index have a good memory of his bite

I have caught many coperheads in the 36-38” range. But the largest one I have ever seen in the wild was a 48” killed by a tree trimming crew trimming brush on a power line right of way. It looks like the Aussie version is more of an antique brass color.

You two have an absolute dream job. Plus you get to help and learn at different rescues as you go. I would love it thank you. And it might seem weird being from America and the copperhead is everywhere but I like the American one better. There color and patterns are striking lol. Who doesn't love that Hershey kiss look down their side. Plus a viper can't beat em.

Your merchandise can arrive to Mexico?? Or is it only for European and USA people?? My personal favorite is Agkistrodon contortrix !!

Can you please upload the south american rattlesnake (crotalus durissus). Btw thank you so much much for uploading my favourite pit vipers copperhead (agkistrodon contrortrix) cottonmouth (agkistrodon piscivorus) many thanks guys

Around where I live (Gippsland in far southeastern Australia) sightings of copperheads are about as common as sighting of tiger snakes (there are swamps near my town so lots of frogs). I've always taken that to mean copperheads are in fact much more common here than tiger snakes because, as you say, the Australian copperhead is especially reclusive - they seem very scared of humans - which means we must walk by a LOT of them without seeing them. Tiger snakes look very beautiful though - but you do not tangle with them.

There are five species of copperhead snakes. In the United states theres two species , the copperhead(agkistrodon contortix and the broad banded copperhead(agkistrodon laticinctus). In Australia the elapid austrelaps is called the copperhead. In china, there's another pit viper(deinagkistrodon actus) called a Chinese copperhead, and in southern Asia, the nonvenomous radiated ratsnake is nicknamed the copper headed rat snake or copper headed trinket snake.

American Copperhead - Viper Australian Copperhead - Elapoid

Greetings from the BIG SKY. When it comes to picking which snake I like, I think I'll just say that they both belong in the ecology. God said so.

In the mid-1950s I grew up on a farm in north central Texas. It was a wooded area and snakes were plentiful, especially copperheads. I learned early on to respect them.

The Australian Copperhead looks very aggressive in appearance than the American Copperhead.

I have a quick question? What in Australia doesn't kill you.. LOL

Thank god the US copperheads don’t have stronger venom bc they’re very mean & aggressive snakes that don’t try to avoid confrontation at all. It’d be admirable if it weren’t so terrifying.

Two totally different and unrelated snakes. Only the name is the same. The American one, will bite you. Best to keep away from them. The Aussie one sounds like a chill, but dangerous snake.

Love your content and the way you do your videos, everything about is spot on thankyou from Australia I subscribed.

The american copperhead’s camouflage is so convincing in leaf-litter that they are damn near invisible…. We have lots of them here in North Carolina..

The American version is the true copperhead. They are both beautiful animals.

All my life I have been absolutely terrified of snakes but I do have to admit, some of them are absolutely beautiful when it comes to their colors.

I'm much more afraid of copperheads than even the more deadly rattlesnakes because they blend in perfectly with the environment to the point that I've almost stepped on them before. I really wish they would run away like other snakes or make noise like rattlesnakes so I could avoid them.

I'm more a Fanboy for Vipers so clearly the copperhead . But at the end of the day i just love em both or all. Beautiful 😊

My favorite species is highland copperhead. Because this species is one of the most twenty deadliest venomous snakes on the planet.

I didn't know until recently that there were Australian copperheads.

Beautiful video of the north american copperhead - the most attractive north american pit viper.

Absolute perfection. Thank you.

I'll take one of each thank you, they are both beautiful snakes, have seen a few of these down here in Tasmania although they are not as common as the Black Tiger snake, leave them alone and they will leave you alone

I love chocolate, American copperhead have Hershey Kisses on their sides!

Totally unrelated. Like apples to oranges, or apples to pineapples. 😃

These footages are beautiful!!! I have a question : What equipment and references do you use (camera, lenses, ...) ? I want to get into wildlife video! Keep going ! Greetings from France

Word has the American copperhead tried to sue for copyright.

Oh yesss , just what i need 😍 great work as always . Hello from Sabah Malaysia . Sosonongon dokoyu kasae kah. Olisih oku dokoyu - my language Its means : Always take a good care of yourself and i love you all 🙏❤️

i liked USA copper head snake very much how delightfully it's slithering around 😻

As usual the best camera work and audio!

The only thing these two snakes share is the name! Nice video.

The copperheads are down where they make the moonshine!

Aussie copperheads are such an underrated snake

I think the American Copperheads are prettier

I was told years ago...That there was a subspecies of American Copperhead called either the Central Plains or the Western Copperhead...But I (sadly..) heard that they are Extinct now...

I love both copperheads! 😊

That is one sweet looking highlander

Amazing footage of gorgeous snakes

The Viper is very beautiful.

Our aussie copperhead is the winner

Im australian and im going to give the vote to the north american nope rope for having some amazing camoflage.

🙏🏻🙏🏻👍

australian is more beautiful

Another very interesting video

Fabulous photography!

When I was 2 yrs old, Amy grandpa and uncle were drunk and had laid on the back porch of my grandparents house in the Ozarks of Arkansas. A copperhead came up and bit grandpa once on each heel. The rest of the story is too long but grandpa lived to his mid 70s and never had a problem after a week in hospital after the terrifying drive into town which I still remember. Grandma shot the snake and gave it to the hog, Judy ( I named many things Judy at that age). I think the US copperhead is one of he most beautiful snakes period. I love the colors and patterns.

👌

Usa vs australia copperheas which venom will be stronger? And if australia venom is Neurotoxic which neurotoxic will be more lethal compared to Indian cobra or any cobra?

A bite from the Australian Copperhead is as venomous as the Indian Cobra.

Gorgeous creatures

I'm a huge fan of Agkistrodon sp. in general and their cranky faces. We have Broadband and Easterns here. Their camouflage is too good at times but they're gorgeous.

Louis' world tour has really paid off! I think the American copperhead looks nicer and is more deserving of the name.

I don't really have a favorite because I have never seen an American variety but there are dozens of Australian copperheads where I live (guess where). We also have black tiger snakes and these are my local favorite because they are considerably bigger so more easily seen. Copperheads are much better at hiding in short grass and I have nearly stepped on a few of them.

Both are stunning but my vote by a nose goes to the American copperhead. Stunning colors.

Osage

These videos are so well done! Beautiful photography!

As always a great video. Wonder it there are major differences in their venoms?

Another brilliant video. main difference, afaiaw, between the two copperhead is that the Australian one says 'g'day' before he tags ya. 😚

Excellent footage of the American copperhead!

I can't pick a favorite. I love them all 🥰

I'm not a snake owner, but I have a cabin back in the woods in SC. I typically don't kill snakes, but I do copper heads, not because they are aggressive. But their camouflage is soo good, ive almost stepped on them, I have a 200 yard path to my mailbox, its just too risky. They are very big here, 3 have been almost 4.feet long, one lacked 1.24.inches being 4 feet.

Our Freedom snakes are better....Go MeriKa!

The bite from the American copper head is extremely painful, I got bit last year it took 8 iv bags of antivenom to save my life
