Thank you! I’m going to try and make this more of a regular activity when it’s warm enough. I’ll post more pics as I find different species or individual variations within species

Hah! Yeah, what vicious beasts they are!
Completely honest, they didn’t even gape at us last night or tonight. Never let that drop your guard though

Very cool finds and thanks for sharing. That Pygmy is so colorful. Speaking of colorful, I find it interesting that the darkest part of an adult cottonmouth, the tail, starts out as the brightest part (neon green) when they are babies. Same with Copperheads. Got to love nature.

If you just google cottonmouth photos, you'll see the huge range of markings they can possess, from dark & hard to see, to lighter & more visible; note the eye stripe
on these (cottonmouths) above...copperheads don't have them.
