The snake is not easily visible at first- not until Isaiah starts zooming in and it can be seen moving slowly. He then used a snake hook to get the reptile -a type of pit viper – closer. Isaiah, 18, from Chicago, Illinois said: “Copperheads are a generally pretty common snake in that area and tend to keep to themselves when possible”.
