The individual in the second picture is likely less than a year old, judging by the colorful tip of their tail. The United States is also home to the broad-banded copperhead, so just seeing a copperhead doesn't necessarily mean seeing this species. Not that I mind people making that mistake!

A trio of eastern copperheads (Agkistrodon contortrix) huddled together at a popular denning site on Snake Hill. As a result of recent taxonomic reclassification, three subspecies of copperhead, including the northern copperhead, have been consolidated into a single species, the eastern copperhead.

Some critters I've found while bug hunting and herping recently! Always love finding these little friends. Can you identify them all?
