    The results can vary from nothing all the way up to an amputation. Generally, they are not a major problem but medical attention is still a good idea. If the hospital released him, I wouldn't be worried. Usually the breathing problems are not really from the snake bite itself, but more from the shock of being bitten. And I'm not sure what you read, but the bites from rattlers and cottonmouths (aka water moccasins) are much more painful.

    The copperhead is one of the least venomous snakes in the u.s.a. If you were to get bit by any venomous snake in the u.s i would choose a copperhead. Mainly because their bite isn't very fatal to people. That is not to say that there has not been any recorded deaths. But the deaths from this snake are very rare.

    I am not sure of the answer myself, but it is worth having a look at a website by an organisation called Living with Wildlife. They have a heap of information on snakes and there is an FAQ section and also an Ask Living with Wildlife section, so I think they could provide you with the answer.
