Nothing endangered regarding the Copperhead around these parts of lower Alabama...I've whacked 6-8 of them since being here (1.6 years). I see them all the time in the creek behind my house.
From Snakes in Alabama
Pit Vipers - Family Viperidae

May be increasing in parts of Coastal Plain, especially where fire is suppressed. Includes subspecies A. c. contortrix (southern copperhead) and A. c. mokeson (northern copper-head). Lowest Conservation Concern. (Fig. 105, p. 116)
