Copperheads are ovoviviparous, which means that they give live birth (they don't lay eggs). The number of offspring that a female will produce depends heavily upon her size (larger snakes will produce more offspring). 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.

What is the advantage for oviparous fishes to lay many eggs and for viviparous eggs to lay only a few?
Oviparous fishes lay many eggs to increase the chances of offspring survival, as only a few may actually develop into adults. Viviparous fishes invest more energy in developing fewer offspring to ensure their survival by providing them with nutrients and protection during gestation. This leads to a higher likelihood of offspring reaching maturity compared to oviparous fishes.
What happens when a black snake bites a copperhead?
If a black snake bites a copperhead, it would likely inject venom into the copperhead.
