Notes:
Called to Copperhead under porch at residence. Upon arrival, found under porch under concrete overhang with no access to snake. Used Snake Cam and Tacticam to monitor, glue trap placed and captured. Removed snake and applied vegetable oil to release the snake from the trap, then washed with Dawn dish soap and rinsed with water. Physical exam revealed a 28 inches, 5.8 ounces Copperhead. No signs of injury or illness. Eyes clear, no sign of pre-shed, followed movement with each eye. Snake was then given water and drank, fed a frozen/thawed mouse and released in protected area without incident.
