Photo taken at Black Bayou Wildlife Refuge in Monroe, Louisiana. There is only one North American poisonous water snake – the Cottonmouth Water Moccasin! Not to be confused at all with its many nonpoisonous neighbors, this snake is a pit viper in the same general family as the Copperhead and the Rattler. This dangerous semi-aquatic snake is truly an aggressive reptile that will stand its ground or even approach an intruder. The Cottonmouth derives its name from the habit of lying in a sprawled coil, head flung back, with the mouth resting in an ominous open position exposing the white inner surface of the mouth almost straight up. This ‘Cottonmouth’ or ‘trapjaw’ can snap shut with lightening speed instantly when touched, and can deliver a large venom dose to prey or victims alike!

This snake was sitting in the road near where I live late one night, and I was able to take its photo before it quickly slithered away.

The Cottonmouth Moccasin ( The main subspecies included in the genus Agkistrodon are the Western Cottonmouth, piscivorus leucostoma ) The Cottonmouth derives its name from the habit of lying in a sprawled coil, head flung back, with the mouth resting in an ominous open position exposing the white inner surface of the mouth almost straight up. / Make no mistake, the Cottonmouth is a dangerous predator and can inflict a brutally damaging hemotoxic bite! / Regional variations do occur, so never handle a water snake of any kind for fear of a nasty, bacteria-rich or venomous bite!

His head was too close to focus properly. Friendly snake though.

Cottonmouth, also called water moccasin, is a venomous snake. He is not normally aggressive. Some people mistake them for the brown water snake which is very aggressive. They will get real close and may actually try to bully you around. The cottonmouth does not do that. I had a cabin in heavy woods for a few years and got to know both snakes very well. Had a couple acre pond. Cottonmouths will stand their ground, but as these pictures show, they are not aggressive. He was almost trapped, I was about a meter away and he let me take the pictures without incident. They will not scare off but will leave if they get a chance, but they do go slowly. / The brown water snakes used to try to run my kids out of the pond when they were fishing or swimming. I removed the snakes. The cottonmouths never once even got close.
