Found in woodlands and brushy meadows near woodlands
Active during day when cool, at night when hot
Feeds on cicadas, small birds, frogs, toads, lizards, and snakes
Interesting fact:
Hatchling and juvenile copperheads have bright yellow tails, which they wiggle enticingly to draw the attention of potential prey animals that think the tail tip is a juicy worm or caterpillar.
