Great photo. I am assuming you had a good telephoto lens? No way in hell I'd be getting close to one of those guys.

They are really not very aggressive contrary to what most people think.

The big problem is that they have no warning sound. They stand their ground and coil up and open the moth to display the "Cotton". I photograph them all the time usually just out of striking distance..I never hurt them and Ihope they spread that message in the swamp.

Yes Panhandle Bob...it is your basic Cottonmouth Water Moccasin

I think they are at their cutest with a bullet hole in them. I have been struck twice by cottonmouths , but never bitten. May have something to do with my feelings toward them !

Thanks Troy. When I walk in the swamp , and the woods with the few friends that aren't afraid to come with me, I keep reminding them "Look down before you look up". If you are aware of your environment, you learn to live in the environment. .. Oh yeah Snake Boots
