The Dekay's Brown Snake...NOT A Baby Copperhead!

The dekay's brown snake is a small, harmless fossorial snake found across the Eastern US which is often mistaken for juvenile copperheads. In this video, we catch a brown snake and show how to tell the difference between it and a young copperhead.

If you've made it this far in the description, remember to be safe when creature adventuring! Most wild animals can cause injury if harassed, and I do not recommend attempting to capture any creatures without purpose and practice. The reason that I interact with wildlife is to produce these educational videos, and I am confident in my abilities to handle creatures such as a dekay's brown snake because I have years of zoology experience under my belt. Also, I always ask permission from a land owner before exploring on their property, and you should do the same.

Keep adventuring everywhere, and keep your adventures safe at all times!
