The Copperhead also has the facial pit located between the eye and nostril, common to Pennsylvania's venomous snakes. This heat-sensitive organ is missing from the nonvenomous species in Pennsylvania. The scales on the Copperhead are only weakly keeled. The Copperhead does not have a rattle at the end of its tail.
