Cottonmouth Encounter




The snake was almost exactly 48 inches long, a fully mature, loaded with venom, adult. The man holding its body is over six feet tall which makes the snake look less impressive than it was. The man and his wife happened along just after I'd discovered this big fella very freshly killed on the main road into Everglades National Park in early January. Below is a picture of its head and fangs.
