Fangs for the memories

I ran across this cottonmouth water moccasin whilst out taking photographs last summer, my german shepherd spotted him first thankfully, he was not pleased I disturbed his sunbathing and gaped open his mouth the whole time

Great Pic. Talk about a face to face encounter. I'm glad that you or your dog did not get bit.

I just don't know about this pic...probably have nightmares. Have you ever been chased by a cottonmouth?

Bad dude, They are easier to agitate in
the early spring, (bad attitude).
I never was chased River Rat, but had a few
didn't want to get out of the way, until I used a
little persuasion.

This is a fantastic shot > I know some magazine would pay money to publish it ! Enjoyed the pic as I have never seen the inside of a cottonmouth before ! I have killed quiet a few with the lawnmower It is against the law in NC now to willingly kill one as they are a protected species

Thanks all for the kind comments, I tried to scoot this guy off the road with a stick, but he held his ground, and I didn't push it

Against the law to kill a cottonmouth? I would like to put one in the lawmakers pants that came up with that law. I would blow that sucker to back to it's ancestors. We have lots of snakes that we can live with.
