Your link to “Snakes of Massachusetts” is incomplete. It does not show the John Kerry, the Barney Frank, the Niki Tsongas, the Sal DiMasi, nor any of the other deadly snakes of the Commonwealth.
“If cornered, they do not hesitate to strike. Water snakes can almost always be counted on to bite, defecate and spray a particularly foul-smelling musk when handled.”

I don’t like Moccassins.
