Description

I happened upon this guy yesterday. It is the only poisonous water snake species in North America. It's bite can be fatal. It is commonly referred to as a water moccasin. Hope you enjoy it as it was a bit scary photographing it even though I stayed several feet away.

Beautiful colors on this one. When I was growing up, a common name was "Cottonmouth".

For these guys i would prefer to have a 600mm lens range. The further they are from me the better. Only snake pictures i took thus far is in the Zoo where the snakes are held in glass cages. Great find and capture my friend. One for my favorite list. God Bless.
