Called to residence with report of Copperhead in back yard. Homeowner advised he put a container over the snake. Upon arrival the snake had escaped. I searched the area and found the Copperhead in some ivy. I placed the snake in transport container, and transported to protected location. Physical exam revealed length of 29" inches, 9.0 oz weight. Followed movement with each eye. Eyes are slightly cloudy and skin dull. Snake appears to be in pre-shed. No signs of injury or illness. released at protected area without incident.
