Yeah, I though you would like that Rooster. The snake can not help he was born a snake. Unless my life is in danger I will not kill one. They are a vital part of the food chain. I love God's creation and respect it. I only wish i had had my video camera. I've got hours of wildlife footage and have yet got a water mocassin. As you are probably aware they have different colors throughout their life span but...one thing they all have is that tan eye brow. This one had a very nice prodominant tan eye brow. It was the biggest mocassin I've ever seen. The old man said she just came out to smell us like most vipers do. Sure enough she had her head up and looking right at us. I started walking toward the snake and she slithered back into the wet swamp.
