we used to get crops of baby copperheads all over the yard and driveway.
They never caused us any problems but knowing that Momma was somewhere
nearby did.

Perhaps there is a herpetologist here who can verify this, but I've
heard that juvenile snakes can be MORE dangerous than adults because
they do not know how to regulate the amount of venom they inject, and
will empty out their venom sacs in one bite--while adults will parcel
it out. Whether true or not, I would not be complacent about baby
venomous snakes!

Cheers,
