Al Agnew Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Love that picture, Billethead! Really shows one of the other very noticeable characteristics of them: the yellowish stripe on the lower part of their head that really stands out against the very dark color above it. Also really shows that "flat top" that was mentioned earlier. And note the floating body, nearly half of it above the surface. BilletHead 1
BilletHead Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Yep Al once you see your first one, the real thing there is never a doubt what it is. I really dislike the term "Water Moccasin" which for some is a catch all for any water snake. Cottonmouth is a good singular word for one snake in particular. I like snakes and they are more predictable than some people . Thanks for the kudos for the photo Al, BilletHead "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

snagged in outlet 3 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I saw 6 garter snakes yesterday. They were out in force. Once you see a cotton mouth you'll never mistake a common water snake for one. BilletHead 1
