Copperheads occur in wooded residential neighborhoods, but due to the snakes' comparatively mild temperament, human beings can often inadvertently reach or step within inches of a camouflaged snake without provoking its strike.
		Cottonmouths are usually found in or near water because of the shelter and rich food supply of murky ponds and rivers, but they also do well in dry environments and may range far from permanent water.

	Agkistrodon piscivorus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cottonmouths are rarely found far from a permanent water source, such as a slow moving stream, edge of a lake, pond, swamp, or even brackish tidal estuaries.
		The venom of the cottonmouth is hemotoxic, causing swelling and necrosis near the site of the wound, and potentially death of the victim if treatment is not received promptly.
		Like many vipers, the cottonmouth is capable of inflicting what is referred to as a "dry bite", where no venom is injected, but any bite from a venomous snake should be treated as serious and immediate medical attention sought, even if no immediate effects from the venom are felt.
