Picture of Broad Banded Copperhead Rattlesnake

-- Colored with a dark hourglass shaped design on the body with a copper colored head. Eye pupils are vertical. There is a heat sensitive pit on each side of the head below a line from the eye to the nostril. Excellently camouflaged. Its soft colors blend well with leaves on the forest floor making it easy to step on and increase the chance of contact with children and pets.
