I admire your empathy, myself I don't know if I could work up enough to free a copperhead. When my cats kept dragging black snakes into the house and we had to chase them hither and yon through the house to throw them back over the fence into the empty lot next door, I kinda had my fill of rescuing snakes. You're a good soul.
