Osage Copperhead

The Osage Copperhead, scientifically referred to as Agkistrodon contortrix phaeogaster, is a light tan snake similar to the Broad-Banded species but has a unique aspect with its clear yellow coat instead of being black. These species are greenish-yellow with similar wiggling formations to Broad-Banded ones, but they are also possible to find without any spotted marks or blotches. The tips of their tails are meant to wiggle to trick nearby predators into thinking they are "juicy worms." These snakes measure the same as Broad-Banded types at 2 to 3-foot lengths.
