1. Get a real camera. 2. Have the subjects stand in the proper place before the announcer begins speaking so you don't have to blurt out directions over the top of the announcer. 3. The announcer s throat cricket was embarrassing , what an amateur. 4. Have the announcer stand outside striking range...thought that snake was going to go for hois Johnson.

Oh, and a little advice to the "professionals" that created this video:

Statistically, dead cotton mouths injure far fewer people

[MojaveGreenXXX]

I know a guy that can count on one stump - of what used to be his hand - how many times he has been bitten by a cotton mouth.

Beautiful creatures. Deserve respect and caution, but still beautiful.

@pitolove71 Typically the ones I have seen are generally docile and will opt for a defensive stance above all else. Not sure what would be setting those in your area off so badly.

At my community pond in Texas they Are FILLED with these snakes! Very aggressive and I try to kill them every chance I gett.

I just killed a Florida Cotton mouth, aka, Moccasin. Very aggressive snake, lunged at me in my neighbors house. I"m in my shorts,flip-flops. Had no choice but to kill him or her. It was completely aggressive & so, I had to chop his head off w/my machete. I didn't want to kill him, don't believe in killing something unless I'm gonna eat it. NOW, I don't know what these people are talking about but the cotton mouths that I've encountered ARE very aggressive, very. And it's been plenty of them.
