Hi Chris! That is indeed a copperhead, check out those Hershey kisses on the sides. Nice one too!

@thewildreport Hi Ben, I saw some of your videos on YouTube. I'm wondering if you think the snake in this photo is a Copperhead. It's a little blurry but was wondering if you could tell.

Southern hognose snakes are among the cutest and most morphologically distinctive serpents in the Southeast, but their conservation can be challenging. Learn more about their incredible adaptations and unique ecological value in this short video! youtu.be/mnhHXLSpNrY

Great question, a shed is typically about 30% larger than the snake that made it!
Mule City@mulecityradio

@thewildreport Big shed at the barn, largest black snake I’ve seen around here. Does the shed skin stretch or is the snake actually this size ?

Here's some non-snake highlights from recent field surveys! I've really enjoyed exploring new areas and documenting the herps that I find in each different habitat type while searching for snakes. #herpetology #reptiles #amphibians #turtle

I’m trying to catch a rat snake in an old barn. Thinking about nonlethal funnel traps and/or pitfalls. Any recommendations for type/brand? #Herpetology #HerpTwitter #Snake Also something with a heavier trigger that wont trap birds.

So thankful for the incredible faculty and friends I've met these past four years! Leaving NCSU will be sad, but I'm so excited for the adventures to come. Plus, I'm now officially a conservation biologist! 🐍 🤓 #ncsu #graduation #wolfpack

The copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix) is a shy and inoffensive snake with a bad reputation. In this video, I address a few common myths regarding their venom toxicity, aggression levels, and identification: youtu.be/-Kp5n1Qjycg #snake #snakes #herpetology #reptiles

@scissorsrunning Thanks Dr. Jeffries! This summer I'll be working on a research project investigating biases in iNaturalist snake observations, and plan to work seasonal jobs for the next year or so while I plan grad school!
