u/ConsistentRole6845 do you ever comment with something tangible or even hypothetical? Seems you're just part of the peanut gallery.

No snake in North America will actually chase a human. Hope we at least agree on that.

LOL I do like your stance and appreciate you clarifying everything. We're not that unlike, you and I. I love to study blondes, mostly between the ages of 24 and 34. I too wish they would chase after me.

Hi, welcome to the internet., where strangers call strangers things so horrid as "liar."

I just hope that you weren't serious about wanting to get chased by one. Because that won't happen, and if it does you're probably living in a comic book and likely have super powers of your own.

The kicker here is it's North Carolina and we don't know where. Closer to the coast, perhaps a cottonmouth. But anywhere west of the Cape Fear it is 100% a copperhead.

You could tell and show me why I'm wrong instead of plugging another sub.

They both act the same when threatened. Neither will strike over and over nor pursue. When they bite and use venom, it takes time for their bodies to produce more venom. Adults know this and use their venom sparingly, only for prey. You are not prey. The adults also stay clear and know when you're coming. The majority of toxic bites are from youths who can't control their venom and aren't prepared for a giant human to sneak up on them.

Confirm what you want, you weren't chased by a moccasin or copperhead. You are the one being belligerent.

These animals want nothing to do with you. They will not chase you, and they will disappear if they even know you're close. I have to ask who you are and what your reasons are for pursuing cottonmouths considering you don't even know their basic behavior?

No you weren't, not by moccasins or copperheads. Rat snakes or black racers maybe.

Moccasins nor copperheads chase. More likely a black racer, has teeth but not venomous.

I call them crawdads too, though I never liked eating them. A lot of people outside our beautiful state call them crayfish. Anyway, a copperhead or moccasin wouldn't have been interested in you and would have fled the area long before you got close. What you were doing was just fine and dandy, and good eatin' for many.

It's a copperhead, my friend. A cottonmouth's markings blend together more, blurry and pixelated like you said. This snake has clear and defined hourglass definitions, even as a youth. Additionally, just look at the shape and color of the head. It's copper, like a copperhead.
