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.
