Yes they do. The copperhead and cottonmouth are cousins. Both are the same genus. Agkistrodon. The indians actually realized the relationship. They called copperheads "Upland Moccasins".

Amazing what size things they can eat sometimes. Glad you and the dog didn't get bit.

Copperheads are mean snakes. When I was 14, I got bit, then my best friend two weeks later by copperheads.
I've seen rattlers and moccasins run if they have an escape route. I've also seen copperheads attack. Lucky (at least for me when I was 14), they're not very venomous.

I watched one once bow hunting catch a big leopard frog.
Was with my cousin playing when he got bit by a timber rattler. It bit and killed the dog first then bit him.

I googled hitting a hoe with the snake and the images that popped up were nothing like this.

Steve. That is a Black Rat Snake. They are excellent hunters and commonly eat rats, mice, rabbits, etc.

We don't have any black snakes that move that fast. But I also avoid snakes like the plague!
