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.
During the breeding season, these copper-colored bands are almost luminous, making the copperhead one of the most recognizable snakes on the landscape. Compared to other snakes, the copperhead has a moderately heavy body, but it rarely exceeds three feet in length. Two species of copperheads are found in Oklahoma.
