Re: Water Moccasin? Cottonmouth?
They are the same (though old timers seem to refer to the banded as cotton mouth and the brown ones - seen mostly in the water as water moccasins )...that appears to be a dark phase adult.

I missed a couple really good shots of him with his mouth wide open staring down the camera. He was PO'ed.

Re: Water Moccasin? Cottonmouth?
I didn't know they were the same thing. Was the inside of his mouth white? That is why they are called Cottonmouths. Cool pics. Sounds like a fun job.

Re: Water Moccasin? Cottonmouth?
There are more of these water moccasin's around then you think. We had a pond cleaned out in Oldsmar Florida on a saturday. The dirt was put in a dump truck and bough up near the road and dumped to dry out. There must have been 20 or more birds there eating water moccasin's , they were pulling them out of the mud.

Re: Water Moccasin? Cottonmouth?
I know Im a little late on this.... but yes a Cottonmouth and Water Moccasin are the same animal. Depending on who you talk to depends on what the call it.
But its actual name is Cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus)

Wow, I didn't know that. Cool looking snake.
Does anybody know if they're native to SW Ohio? Seems like I remember being warned about them while camping somewhere fairly close.
