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.
An adult king snake can grow up to a length of seven to eight feet. A scarlet king snake is the only exception in this species. It is only a couple of feet long after complete maturation making it one of the shortest of its kind. King snakes have a very long life span of up to twenty years. The female lays four to twenty eggs on loose soil, logs or even rodent burrows. The young ones hatch seven to twelve weeks later, and are roughly eight to thirteen inches in length. They reach complete sexual maturation at the age of three to four years.
