Did you know: It's baby copperhead time of year?

So be careful. I almost stepped on one stepping off my front step yesterday. The yellow tipped tail is unmistakable.

Anyway, here's about the little venom noodles.

Baby copperheads are typically born in late summer and early fall, with August and September being the peak months. They are born live, and the young snakes are venomous from birth.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Late summer/early fall:
Copperheads give birth to their young during this time, which includes August, September, and sometimes into early October.
Venomous from birth:
Baby copperheads are born with fangs and venom that is just as potent as an adult's, according to Live Science.

Baby copperheads might be less adept at regulating the amount of venom they release in a defensive bite, but this doesn't mean their bites are inherently more dangerous.
Habitat:
Baby copperheads seek out cool, damp places to hide, like under logs, in rock crevices, or in leaf litter.
Caudal luring:
Young copperheads may use their yellow-tipped tails to lure prey, a behavior known as caudal luring
