There are about 2,400 species of snakes in the world. They live almost everywhere, in deserts, forests, oceans, streams, and lakes. Some are ground dwellers, others live in trees, and other snakes spend most of their lives in water. There are a few areas where snakes do not live. They cannot survive in places where the ground stays frozen the year around, so they are missing in the polar regions or at high mountain elevations. Several islands, including Ireland and New Zealand, do not have snakes.
Please click on the link and you will find the types of snakes from A-Z.

http://www.zipcodezoo.com lists most animals alphabetically. By going to the CH's, I found:
- Chameleon, neither a snake nor American, but a known animal.
- Checkered garter snake
- Chicago garter snake
- Chicken turtle (not a snake, but American)
- Chihuahuan Black-headed snake
- Children's python (not American but beautiful)
- Chuckawalla- cool American desert lizard
I omitted answers that used 'Chinese'- that would have added a few snakes, but they are not well known nor American.
Good luck!
(Oh, and if the ZipcodeZoo is unavailable, go to the library and find a field guide to reptiles in the US- the index will list the animals alphabetically!)
(By the way, you may want to share that link with other people with tough letter combinations- very helpful site!)

O.K. Here we go!
Some of these names are ridiculous, but I am not making this up. I have never heard of any of them. They are all found in the continental USA--not counting Puerto Rico ,Guam, Alaska, Hawaii, or American Samoa.
Your son will have to use the Latin names of some of these:
checkered garter snake
Chihuahuan blackhead snake
Charina bottae---rubber boa
Chionactus occipitalis--Western shovelnose snake
Chionactus palarostris--Sonoran shovelnose snake

CopperHead is the only one I found that's even close. And really, it isn't what you're looking for as I've spelled it differently. It should be Copperhead.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAMILY LEPTOTYPHLOPIDAE (slender blind snakes)
This family of snakes is composed of 50 species in two families. They are generally regarded as the most primitive snakes, they are well adapted to their burrowing life style. They feed exclusively on small invertebrates. Leptotyphlopids are oviparous. There are two species of this family in North America.
Leptotyphlops dulcis Texas Blind Snake
Leptotyphlops humilis Western Blind Snake
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAMILY BOIDAE (boas and pythons)
Boidae is a large family of snakes that includes all five of the world's giant snakes. They have flexible jaws found in more advanced families but also retain a pelvic girdle, vestigial hind limbs, and many use both lungs. There are only two species of boas found in North America, both in the sub-family Eryciniae.
Charina bottae Rubber Boa
Lichanura trivirgata Rosy Boa
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COLUBRIDAE (colubrid snakes)
The Colubrid snakes are sometimes refered to as "typical snakes". They comprise the largest family by far with over 2000 species worldwide. Most are medium sized snakes, Most species are considered members of two large subfamilies, Colubrinae and Natricinae which are distinguished by the presence (Natricinae) or absence (Colubrinae) of spines on the lumbar vertebrae. Both subfamilies contain over 200 genera. The Colubrinae subfamily includes two of the genera popular with herpetoculturists, Elaphe and Lampropeltis. The Natricinae subfamily includes water snakes (Nerodia) and garter snakes (Thamnophis) among others. This list includes 102 species of Colubrid snakes found in North America.

ELAPIDAE (cobras and coral snakes)
Venomous
The cobra family is thought to have evolved from Colubrid snakes and many appear very similar in appearance with long, slender bodies and large scales (plates) on the head. They differ in having more advanced venom delivery systems than the venomous Colubrids. Elapids have fangs that are "effectively tubular" in that the fangs contain grooves that are enclosed by an infolding of the edges. The fangs are in the front of the mouth rather than the rear as is seen in venomous Colubrids. The Elapidae contains some of the world's most dangerous snakes including cobras (Naja), mambas (Dendroaspis) and sea snakes (Hydophinae and Laticaudinae). Elapids are found worldwide and in Ausralia are the predominant family. In North America, three species of elapids are found, two species of coral snakes and one sea snake. The coral snakes are relatively small snakes that spend most of their time underground. Their primary food is other snakes. Despite their small size and small fangs, their venom is extremely toxic.
Micruroides euryxanthus Western Coral Snake
Micrurus fulvius Eastern Coral Snake
Pelamis platurus Yellowbelly Sea Snake
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VIPERIDAE (vipers)
Venomous
The vipers are generally considered to be the most advanced family of snakes since they possess a very sophisticated venom delivery system. Large tubular fangs are placed in the front of the mouth and they are hinged, allowing them to be folded back when not in use. Their heads are covered with numerous small scales and their eyes have vertically eliptical pupils. All the vipers found in North America are in the subfamily of pit vipers (Crotalinae) having a pair of heat sensing pits located between each eye and nostril. The rattlesnakes are a truly American family of pit vipers since they are not found in the Old World and all but two species are found in the U.S. or Mexico. They are divided between two genera based on their head scales. Members of the genus Crotalus have numerous small scales on their heads while members of the genus Sistrurus have large scales (plates) on their heads.
