Gentlemen: Thanks for the good posts. Ambush Master: Im a country boy Sir and I see snakes every summer yep these were the real thing. I had a pet corn snake as a teen ager so I am familiar with them. SwatSurgeon: Like you said treatment in this area is pretty much the same. In the last snake bite case I saw last month (copperhead) the ED pysician treated the patient with Solu-Medrol and an over night stay for observation as well as I remember.
Not to hi-jack this post on Snake bite kits but It was odd for me to find THREE copperheads less than 20meters apart in less than 30mins in my back yard as the sun was going down! All my copperhead encounters were singular occurences up till now.
The SAWYER extractor kit....I have one but have never used it. It would be interesting to try but not on myself!
