Why is this one so dark like the Western Cotton mouth?I noticed the Eastern and the Florida Cotton mouths are lighter then the Western.

@mookeychase0907 I really don't know, We also have some lighter colored ones around here. More than likely, it has to do with their genetics, as opposed to their diet or surroundings.

Ran across many of these in the rice fields. Some would just look at you like you owed them something; some would run away and others would attack. Kinda like people really.

@dweathers56b Turn the situation around, If you were hunting for a meal and a snake came up, You would try and scare it away, Some people would do everything they could to kill it, Others would run like it was the devil himself. Your right, a lot of simularities, Scary.

@westsiderebel1 Water Moccasin's (Agkistrodon Piscivorrous), are commonly called "Cottonmouth's" due to the white in thier mouths, But they are the same {:-)

@MrBillybob96 actually, no where close to making the top ten list. Its not even considered to give a fatal bite when striking a healthy adult.
