Copperheads!

Visit The Copperhead Institute on Facebook for great information on the beautiful and often misunderstood Copperhead. This is one of Missouri's five venomous snakes and in this writer's opinion one of the most stunning. Follow the link below to watch a cool video of a newborn baby copperhead taking its first breath. These amazing snakes do not lay eggs. Babies are born and come out in a membrane. After poking through, with a flick of the tongue they get their first taste of freedom and then off they go. Absolutely fantastic!  Copperhead baby takes its first breath.
