The copperhead is a pretty snake. Unless it is swimming toward you.

[VanShuyten]

The picture is supposed to be a cottonmouth. If I remember right, cottonmouths are black puff adders, also called water moccasins. I think, but am not sure, that is a picture of a copperhead, which hangs out under fallen timber I want to walk over.
