Thanks. I am not into Latin, but I will be into being more careful.

Wow, I live in the Southwest and instantly recognized a water moccasin, though we don't have them here. How close were you? Do be careful. If it had opened its mouth you'd have seen the white inside--thus the other name, cottonmouth. But cool...

[that snake was gettin ready to strike...u r lucky ! cool thoughquote=mollymolly]Sorry about the IQ of the photos. I assumed at first that it was a Water Snake, but now I am wondering. It was about 4 feet long and heavy bodied. I am hoping that I wasn't stupid enough to get within striking distance of a Water Moccasin!![/quote]
