Don't have much for snakes here at home. Sorry don't have any pics of the cotton mouths just this copperhead. Last edited by Jmack; 03/28/24 10:42 PM.

But I will kill everyone I see. Around here a CH is a $1000 veterinarian bill. Don’t trust them either. At least our timber rattlers are lazy acting. ------------------------------------- DJT in 2024!

Years ago on here someone brought out the fact there is 3 different brands of cottonmouth's, until then i thought they were all the same. Those colorful one's like that I think were called the Florida cottonmouth. Those big hulking one's live up in the northern part of our state, no idea why they get so big up that way. Not my circus, not my clowns.

Funny how drinking 8 cups of water a day seems like a lot, but 8 beers in 3 hours goes down like a fat kid on a see-saw.
