Soon as you said religious snake handlers *bear in mind I'm from WV and we have a famouse snake church* I bursted out in laughter i know i shouldnt but dear god that just struck me the right way

Snake-handling sounds like Darwinism in action. As long as the snakes don't get hurt and the handlers die sounds win-win to me. I live in Western Kentucky (Morganfield, Kentucky) right by the Higginson-Henry game preserve and have seen many cottonmouths and I have to agree with you, I have fished in eastern and central Kentucky and people will point out regular water snakes and call them water moccasins.

@paintballhero1911 Until we see documented evidence they don't exist there. We have been brought numerous water snakes by folks thinking they were cottonmouths. Because the snakes look somewhat similar people sometimes get confused. Next time you think you see one take a photo.
I might be moving to Eastern Kentucky, these snakes and spiders will sure be an adjustment coming from Western NY. I worry more about my wife and little kids as we are an outdoors family.

@Dreoilin Education is your friend- be sure to teach your kids to not touch snakes. If you are in the outdoors a lot having a healthy respect is the best attitude to have.
