Can you give me a clarification on that. Is a water snake the same as a water moccasin? I've always been told that water moccasins were poisonous and that cottonmouths and water moccasins were the same thing.

Water moccasin is a type of water snake(non-venomous[snakes don’t carry poison]). A cottonmouth is venomous and thicker. They also swim mon top of the water.

That's strange Spot. My dad was raised in your neck of the woods and he always considered a water moccasin as another name for a cottonmouth. Water snakes were fish moccasins.

Cottonmouths and Water Moccasin are the same snake just different name.
Water snakes are nonvenomous, but the ones I’ve encountered they’re very aggressive where as Cottonmouth or moccasins aren’t.

The water moccasin or cottonmouth, Agkistrodon piscivorus, is a semi-aquatic pit viper found throughout the Southeastern United States and into West Texas (see Image. Cottonmouth Snake). [1] Their 2 common names derive from the white-colored membranes in its mouth and living near water sources. Sep 26, 2022
