Copperheads do exhibit some territorial behavior, particularly during the breeding season when males may establish dominance over certain areas to attract females. However, they are not strongly territorial like some other snake species. Instead, copperheads tend to be more opportunistic and can share habitats with others of their species, especially since they often remain camouflaged in their environments and can coexist without direct confrontation. Overall, while they may defend a specific area temporarily, they are not highly territorial animals.
