Yep, we have a few of those gators around the Houston area.
Hey buddy, If I had to live in close proximity (sp check for all you net editors out there) to those gators, I’d be happy to have them eat those cottonmouths. Between the two, I’d rather face a gator, he’ll get away from you. A cottonmouth is aggressive. My sister married a Louisiana cajun and moved out in gator country, and I used to worry about her. She’d let her nine year old boy go camping alone at a bayou and fish where those cottonmouths habitated.
I lived in Louisiana for several years.I actually went alligator hunting once for an article, back in my younger days, when I wanted to be a hotshot smalltime newspaper reporter.
When I was younger, I faced more predators than gators, the human kind. A young, naive, long legged hillbilly girl in Louisiana was bait for more than gators in those days, and I’m lucky to have survived.
I had an editor back then who kept promising me he was going to take me canoing down a particular bayou where the fishing was outstanding. I invited him to my sister’s house once, and on the way, he told me to pull over the car and he’d show me where we could launch the canoe. We walked out on a levy, or bank, and there were all these snakes with white mouths swimming around. It was creepy, I ran back to the car.
He didn’t get me in that canoe, or nowhere else, for the record.
