Title:

This 2005 image depicted a venomous 'Northern' copperhead snake, Agkistrodon contortrix mokasen. The northern copperhead ranges from souther

Description:

This 2005 image depicted a venomous 'Northern' copperhead snake, Agkistrodon contortrix mokasen. The northern copperhead ranges from southern Illinois, extreme northeastern Mississippi, Northern Alabama, and northern Georgia northeastward through the Appalachian Mountains to the level of southeastern New York and southern Massachusetts (Gloyd and Connant, 1990), placing it in hurricane-prone areas, which is of importance to those living in these regions, and first-responders offering aid to those affected by such a disaster. The preferred habitat of this race is characterized as open deciduous forests with rocky areas with an abundance of fallen leaves (Connat 1975).
