Broad-banded Copperhead (Agkistrodon laticinctus)

Wichita Mountains, OK

This one looks like it had its head stompped some time in its past. Can see damage to upper part of ocular, and some rift between scales on forehead and in front of facial pit. Also, may not have eaten in a while before its current meal; has bulge in foreward part of body from recent meal (see next pictures), but back parts show fold of rib cage into belly from some level of emaciation. Tough life on the ground.

Canon EOS 40D
1/250s f/7.1 at 105.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
