Copperhead question

I can’t seem to find much info on this, I’m wondering what size punch or chisel y’all recommend for copperheading? 

If you use a punch or a chisel, you risk being bitten. Copperheads are poisonous, you know.

Size of the punches should be about 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the actual copperhead for #1's and #2's.  Big chisel (dulled) should have about a 3/4" business end, for #3's on up.

Venomous.

I've got a super detailed post on this in this forum. I'm caving in Mexico, maybe someone can post the link?
