They were a fact of life when I was growing up in S. Texas, along with rattlesnakes. Flartus' brother might not have been bitten by a cottonmouth, there are other snakes that resemble them but aren't poisonous. If it was a cottonmouth, he is extremely lucky. Snakes are actually a very important part of the ecosystem, without them we would be up to our ears in rodents! We just need to leave certain snakes alone. I like snakes actually.Otter Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150285495175373444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146619.post-37340495549614496302008-09-11T07:42:00.000-07:002008-09-11T07:42:00.000-07:00I've never come across one of these snakes in the ...I've never come across one of these snakes in the wild (despite trying to catch every snake I saw as a kid.)

Dad, who's normally quite level-headed, went beserk and chopped the poor thing into 2-inch pieces before taking it in for questioning...I mean, identification.
