The copperhead has a tan or light brown skin color with brown or reddish markings across its back. Skin tone can vary from snake to snake but the overall color is generally the same. Copperheads are born live and look identical to the adults except for a brightly colored yellow or green tail that it uses as a lure to attract its prey. The copperhead is known by some as the highland moccasin because it is closely related to the cottonmouth (aka water moccasin) and resides on higher ground away from water.
