Hey all. I just acquired a southern copperhead today. I got it from a friend of mine who's had it for close to a year. I got his tank set up and I've noticed that he's been really aggressive when I'm just looking at him. He'll shake his tail vigorously (much like my ratsnakes) and he'll strike at the glass, leaving lines and sprays of venom on the glass. He'll also produce a strong musk that I can smell as I walk into the room.
Does anyone have copperheads that are this aggressive or exhibit this behavior? I presume its present temperament are due, in part, to the recent move to a new environment. He will calm down, no?
Thanks for any input,
Dimitri
