I know you used the zoom feature, but still, how close did you have to get to that snake?

About 5 feet. It wasn’t in the mood for trouble, just wanted me to go away. When they’re really wired you can see the tension, they almost vibrate.

Time for the ole shotgun to come out...

It’s also mating season. And Cotton Mouths are very aggressive during mating season.
Right out of high school I worked on a survey team surveying swamps in Eastern Arkansas. They would actually attack if you got too close or if you bothered them while they were “mating”. We’d kill 5 or 6 a day with sling blades. It was for the government so we weren’t allowed to carry a gun. I quit the day we had to shoot a line accross a “lake” where you could see the snakes all entangled with each other.

I killed 3 of them last year.
Interestingly, I spotted two of them while looking out the window while on the computer. The third was near my AC unit.
None of them were very near water.

Hey JustaDumbBlonde I see that snake you have to watch out for when you go get those boards you have been eyeing!

This one is getting ready to molt, it’s eye scales were cloudy. They can’t see very well until the scales shed.
