The babies are out...

Looks like it is that time of the year.....newborn baby cottonmouths are out and about :) I love the heavy patterning and green tails on the babies....they are not intimdating at only 7-8 inches long :)

Beautiful snakes and fun to photograph.

This picture would have been killer if my DOF allowed for the pits to be crisper.

Wow, wow, wow. Those are some amazing photos of an even more amazing snake, thanks for sharing.

Great shots there :)

I was WRONG in my identification and didn't realize it until someone pointed it out to me on another forum.

THAT IS A BABY COPPERHEAD.

This was my first copperhead sighting in Pearl River Wildlife Management Area. I had assumed it was a cottonmouth at first...just because of the location I found it in. The thought of seeing a copperhead was the farthest thing from my mind. Overlooking the embarrassment of misidentifying a common snake....the fact that I get to add another species to my long list of animals I have seen in PRWMA is wonderful. I have been going out in the area for almost 7 years now and I still cant believe this is the first time I have seen a copperhead.

Nice pics :gj:

:gj: Awesome Pic's :gj:

besutiful pictures, awesome closeups of a snake in its natural habitat

Wow what a beautiful snake and beautiful pics. I love that closeup...really shows all the colors on his face.....and he WAS NOT looking too happy with you....lol:rolleyes: but I think they just naturally look like...."I am soooooooo gonna kick your butt"....lol
