Well, that's to some degree a matter of opinion. Copperheads are tan-to-brown snakes with light-colored 'hourglass' bands (wide at the sides and narrow in the middle). The most distinguishing feature is usually the lighter, often coppery-colored head, but this may vary. I once came across an older female with a relatively brown head, not dramatically lighter than the rest of her body. They tend to be rather chunky-looking as they get bigger, and are often pretty sluggish and calm. They tend to be found in rocky or weedy upland fields where logs or other shelter is common, and they seem to be more active hunters at night in my experience. So, what do we have that's similar? The snakes that are most often confused with Copperheads are either common Water Snakes (darker brown with dark hourglass bands and a dark head) which are (as you might expect) found near water and tend to be very irritable, unpleasant snakes, and Eastern Hognose Snakes, which are found in the same sort of habitat, and have broad heads, but are otherwise rather different - blotchy pattern instead of banded. Same sort of temperament, though - sluggish, inoffensive, hard to get to bite you. Otherwise, at least in the eastern US, there aren't any commonly-confused snakes, although I've heard the most amazing claims about other, very different, snakes being "crossbreed" Copperheads. Absolute baloney, as far as I've been able to find out, but that never stops people who want to believe something.
The bite pattern wouldn't be distinct from another snake (two puncture marks), but the snake itself has an hourglass pattern. Copperheads bite more than any other snake species in the US. Luckily, their venom is rarely fatal (rarely, not never). At the site of the bite, the skin will swell and there will be generalized tissue damage often resulting in red and black coloration like a large burn. You will be able to see that your cells are being destroyed. There is also intense pain. This is usually temporary, and nonlethal, but young children, older adults, and people with compromised immune systems are in danger, and of course anyone who has been bitten should seek help immediately.
Copperheads do not lay (external) eggs. They bear live young.
tannish brown, kinda small. they emit an odor of cucumbers.
See the related link to Wikipedia for an excellent picture !

Yep and they can cause death in humans. They say that a copperhead bite will normally not kill a healthy human being but it can cause death if the amount injected is lethal. At any rate it is a very painful bite.
Yes there has been venomous snake bites within the bay state. Two infact, there was a Timber Rattlesnake bite in Sheffield, MA. There was also a Northern Copperhead bite in Springfield, MA. Neither of the people that were bitten died.
Its head is colored like copper (the metal they use for pennies and water pipes in homes), and the body of the snake is a different color.
