this snake is in this months reptiles magazine. Very nice looking copperhead. Just thought I'd ask if anyone had the pleasure of owning one

actually i have a trans-pecos/ broadband cross that make for not only a very interesting look but varying colors throughout the whole snake.

ok sorry about that...having some small computer issues...like i said this is a quick photo but you will see her getting more red towards the base and she also does still have the green tail.

Very cool. The one I saw in the magazine was bright red. its funny, since I do not know a lot about hots, but I just think of the copperheads, rattlers as being drab, boring. Your snake is very nice looking. Some of the hots are amazing. I like the gaboons, that have the bright color array. Thanks for the pic

i will try to get a better pic showing her colors...she doesn't have the crazy bright red that some have but ya i like her.

I had never seen them before the one in the reptiles magazine, so therefore never knew they had a green tail. Very cool.

Captive bred female, Agkistrodon contortrix pictigaster. She is entering opaque cycle, so her colors are not as bright as usual.
