Stop, take a good look, say nice snaky, then step around or over it and be
on 
your way. The non poisonous are the ones you step over.

The poisonous have small holes in their fangs for the poison to flow thru.
Seriously, Go to a zoo or somewhere that has Copperheads and Rattlesnakes, 
Take a good look; you'll remember those and don't worry about any that don't

look like them. If you are the very paranoid type also look at a Water 
Moccasin although I can't think of anywhere on the AT that you might run
into 
them.
