Australian Copperheads are highly venomous Poisonous Snakes native to the temperate territories of southern and eastern Australia. Well adapted to cooler climates, these are the one Australian snake found above the snowline. These snakes prefer fertile wetland and swamp habitat and so are known to congregate in large numbers when the weather is optimal. Excellent swimmers, Australian Copperheads are very much in the home in river, swamp and marshland habitats. They tend to get together where prey is plentiful as well as a major part of their diet is frogs and tadpoles. As generalized carnivorous hunters and they'll eat any suitable sized prey - including the other person and in some cases their very own young!

Diurnal throughout a lot of the year, the Australian Copperhead becomes a nocturnal hunter during summer. Snakes are cold blooded, and called ectotherms like amphibians, arachnids, fish, insects, & reptiles they've already no internal metabolic structure to control blood heat. Cold-blooded creatures carry out the temperature in their surroundings and so are dependent upon external options for heat like solar radiation. Most of you'll see our Sanctuary's White Tigers, Tundra & Loki who are endothermic or warm-blooded making use of their habitat boulders as giant thermal regulators.
