Most 'poisonous' snake bites are not from poinsonous snakes. My favorites in TN are the northern watersnakes. Many think they are copperheads.
Most people misidentify the common water snake as either a copperhead or a cottonmouth. In addition, the common water snake is a very agressive species. I've been bitten by them (while in the water) numerous times.
If you cover them up with doody when you turn to run they will not bother you.

I've been bit by many non-venomous species, the worst being an eight foot Reticulated Python (nasty bite), and about broke my arm. Been bit by copperheads 3 times, all my fault. Copperhead venom is fairly weak compared to Moccasin and Rattlesnake venom. I don't mess with Rattlesnakes or Moccasins, no margin for error.
