I lived in South Louisiana for many years. That is 100% pure bad ass water moccasin. I do not kill snakes even the venomous snakes (unless they are near my house). I make an exception for water moccasins. They are aggressive and have a large venom volume which is quite potent. Its poison is both hemolitic and neurotoxic.

Kill all water moccasins.

I really really recommend getting a “snake zapper”. It is a stun gun which when applied to the skin around a snake bite appears to neutralize the venom. Zap every now and then until the pain of the bite is gone. Usually, it only takes 3 or 4 zaps.

Do a google search to find it.

Medical professionals will tell you this does not work and it is dangerous to apply an electrical charge to the body.

I live in Papua, Indonesia and I have seen people get bitten by death adders, use the zapper, and suffer no ill effects. Given the choice between a painful zap or having my foot amputated, well, I’ll take the zap.

It works with all types of venom. I’ve used it on myself for wasp stings.
