A copperhead snake will generally grow to a maximum of about three feet. They all have copper colored heads, and have a ground color of pink, brown, or even tan depending on the subspecies. They have triangular shaped heads, and the trademark facial pits that pit vipers are known for.
Copperheads eat many species of rodents (mice, chipmunks etc), frogs, lizards, other snakes, small birds, and even insects (especially large caterpillars and cicadas). An individual snake may eat only 10 or 12 meals a year (depending on the size of the prey taken).
