Snake identification

The copperhead is a snake that many people struggle to identify. Their pattern is quite recognizable around 99% of the time, but that 1% contains a lot of crazy genetic mutations and pattern variations. Believe it or not, every single one of these snakes is a copperhead, with each one containing a different genetic mutation or aberrancy, except for the final picture which contains an average copperhead sitting by some mothballs (which do not effect them).

@Blackhorse77 : This is very interesting and educational. I had absolutely NO idea that copperheads could come in such variation! Of course, I admit to being afraid of pretty much any snakes.
