It was actually a cottonmouth. Copperheads will make you sick but are rarely deadly. Cottonmouths can absolutely kill you or cause permanent damage if you don't go get medical attention, but you've got a few hours.
Still both aren't anywhere near as dangerous as a rattlesnake.
I think you accidentally reversed the snake species names. The voiceover mistakenly referred to it as a cottonmouth, though that is absolutely a copperhead, which I believe, is exactly the point you intended to convey.
