North Carolinas Copperhead Snakes: Drought Impact and Safety Tips - With the state experiencing a severe drought, experts discuss how it may affect Copperhead snake behavior. These snakes, common in all counties, have distinctive hourglass patterns and often live near people. The drought could cause them to travel farther for water, increasing encounters. However, they may also stay put until conditions improve. Wildlife officials remind residents to wear gloves during yard work, watch where they reach, and retreat if they spot a Copperhead. Recent rainfall has been insufficient to ease the strain on water sources. A forecasted late Friday into Saturday storm is expected to bring less than one inch of rain, far short of the two to three inches needed to make a significant impact.
