Copperhead snakes (Agkistrodon contortix) range from the Florida panhandle, north to Massachusetts and west to Nebraska. There are five subspecies of copperheads, which are named after their reddish-brown heads. While North American copperheads make up their own species, several types of snakes are colloquially referred to as copperheads, including cottonmouth snakes (Agkistrodon piscivorus), radiated rat snakes (Coelognathus radiata), lowland copperheads (Austrelaps superbus) and sharp-nosed pit vipers (Deinagkistrodon acutus).
North American copperheads are pit vipers — snakes that have heat-sensitive pit organs between the eye and the nostril on each side of their head. These pits detect minute differences in temperature in the environment, including sources of warmth that often turn out to be prey for the snakes. Pit vipers are mostly nocturnal, and copperhead "behavior is very much like that of most other pit vipers."
