Another thing is that 99% of the time these "poisonous water moccasins" that people are so proud of killing are actually harmless water snakes. I know a lot of people that live in the South and it always amazes me how a lot of them think they are experts and really know very little about their local wild life. They think any snake they find in the water is a water moccasin. It doesn't help that lately there's a trend for celebrities, especially athletes, to kill snakes and show it on social media like they did something brave and honorable.
