Copperhead snakes are often the same grey-brown colour as the ground they slither over, so baron areas like this can often become a dangerous trap for humans.

This venomous snake is famous for having bitten more humans than any other species.

They are the most  commonly seen snake in North America, and to make matters even more terrifying - they are the most likely to bite.

However, the copperhead snake's venom is the least toxic of its species, so it very rarely kills.

It does cause horrible symptoms such as strong pain, vomiting, nausea, blurred vision, and numbness in the face and limbs.

The copperhead is a medium-sized snake, averaging two to three feet in length.

If you're still haven't trouble spotting it, their bodies are usually distinctly patterned with brown or reddish-brown cross-bands.

Last year, Mark Pelley, the 'Snake Hunter' on social media, found a poisonous copperhead snake nestled in the grass in Australia near a school.
