No, it is rumord that the baby snakes are more poisonous than the adults becase they cant regulate there venom. but the thing is, the adults have alot more venom than the babys... but, dont think they cant kill you if you get bit by one. its just best to AVOID them insted of killing them.. killing them only hurts the environment because they kill alot of mice.. if there was less snakes there would be millions more mice :P oh and mice lovers.. just because i said this dont kill snakes lol cheers!

The venom IS more potent, but there's so little of it, that it's not really dangerous. Copperheads not very toxic to humans; fatalities are virtually unknown.

No. While a baby venomous snake has a stronger venom drop for drop than an adult snake, the adult snake's increased venom yield more than makes up for this difference.
