What color are copperheads when they first hatch?
First off, copperheads (as with all pit vipers) are not hatched, they are born in much the same way mammals are but with some variation. More on to the point; they don't change colors as they mature except for their neon tail. When they are born they have a brightly colored tail to attract prey (like frogs, toads and even small mammals). They will hold much the same coloration (maybe darker) throughout their entire lives, but after about a year the neon coloration on the tail changes to the same coloration of their entire body.

How does the sidewinder adapt to the desert climate?
The sidewinder is a kind of snake for starters. It lives in deserts, and such needs certain features to survive. As its name would suggest it uses a sideways motion to move quickly on effectively over the loose sand without sinking or upsetting much sand. As it is reptillian in nature, it sunbathes to keep its temperature high during the day, and during th cold night has adapted to bury itself underneath the sand to maintain its body heat.
that doesnt really tell much

Can a snake kill itself by biting itself?
I am just taking a stab. But, all things considered, i would say yes. I don't know if you could find me a snake that would do that to itself. If you are referring to the venom it can hold and distribute, think about this. King snakes kill each other all the time with venom. One would think that two snakes of the same species would carry identical venom. Making anti-venom possible. If all venom had a change in it, anti-venom couldn't exist.

There are different legends about this question; however, venomous snakes avoid the self-poisoning in many ways, like keeping the poison inside closed structures, neutralizing it with their saliva or, simply, the poison has no effect on them, depeding from the composition of the poison: lipophil enzimes, peptides, "alkaloids", wich have different biochemical properties; however, snakes, often, are self-immune.
not normally
Snakes move by slithering or crawling because they lack limbs. They have a unique body structure that allows them to push against rough surfaces, like rocks or branches, to propel themselves forward. This method of locomotion has evolved over time and is efficient for navigating various terrains.

but why is the question
Repetetive yawning in birds (most notably Cockatiels) means they are trying to clear their sinuses. Dust, dander, and little pieces of feather or down can get lodged in the sinus cavities, and a bird will yawn to try and clear the passage.
A single yawn however, is just a yawn.

What snake is red with black rings?
I make two presumptions: 1. You're asking about snakes in the US, and 2. You're discussing the most common black-and-red-ringed snake. The Common Corn snake is often simply red and black and is harmless. In fact, it's a great snake to have around, since it eats large numbers of rats and mice, both of which can infest houses, eat our vegetables and carry diseases dangerous to humans. Snakes do not carry diseases that can infect humans and neither eat vegetables nor feel slimy. There are two red-black-and-yellow-banded snakes that are fairly common. In Florida, they harmless one is known as the Scarlet King Snake. In the west, a closely-related species is called the Mountain King Snake. They usually feature thick red bands with a black band at each end, and then a yellow band with a black band around each end, running in that manner the entire length of the snake. They are also harmless. They often kill and eat pit vipers like rattlers, copperheads and cottonmouths. There is a small snake similarly banded, but with the colors usually alternating slightly differently. These snakes have thick red bands with yellow bands touching the red at each end, then a black band, another yellow-red-yellow pattern, again, all the way down the snake. These are coral snakes -- related to the cobra, and are deadly. There are two fairly reliable ways to tell the harmless ones from the coral snakes. Here's a small mnemonic: Red touch yellow - bad for a fellow, Red touch black, good for Jack. That's nearly always reliable, but it's not invariant. If the snakes are small, say 8-9 inches long, just leave leave them alone. If they're fairly large (18 inches or longer) and have the red-black contacts, you're pretty safe in assuming they're king snakes. Coral snakes don't grow very big. Do yourself and the eco-systems a favor. Don't kill snakes just because you can. You're not a hero because you can kill a harmless little snake and they're an intricate part of our ecosystems. IMO are just as important as birds and dogs...maybe even moreso.
