They are quite shy and their patterns make them very cryptic so finding them can be quite difficult when looking. I know they are an endangered species in all of the New England states which many paid a bounty for killing one or the other venomous snake found here, the Timber Rattlesnake.
Similar to the Timber Rattlesnake, the copperhead is a denning animal that returns every winter to a typical communal site below the frost line. This is usually a rock crevice at the toe of a talus slope with a southern exposure. Copperheads return to the surface when the warm weather stirs their slowed metabolism. In Massachusetts I have seen copperheads denning in man-made materials such as concrete slabs or deeper excavations that have some sort of cover to diminish the frost.
Since habitat destruction and lack of understanding have resulted in huge drops in the populations, both of these pit vipers should be protected fully in the New England area.

Copperheads are ovoviviparous, which means that they give live birth (they don't lay eggs).

A female of the Southern subspecies (Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix) typically produces 4-8 young per year if she mates. They will have bright yellow (sulfurous) tails, but otherwise look like their parents.
