Found in the eastern regions of the United States, copperheads are one of the most common venomous snakes in North America. With skin the color of autumn leaves, these stealthy snakes are often difficult to spot – especially during the Fall when leaves are piled on the ground. This explains why people are usually bitten by copperheads when they accidentally step on them! Copperheads usually grow to 2-3 feet in length, but sometimes get much larger.
