I only found 6 but it's possible...I think one that you think is a snake is one of the branches that folds back onto the trunk. I didn't realize there were that many until post processing. The picture comes up very large and as I brought it down to a more manageable size to crop I could see there were far more on there! This little watersnake only bit when I picked it up (I had my husband grab me some gloves first just in case my in the dark identification was not correct-and because I know how the little buggers are) but after that it did nothing...not even musk! I could take off the gloves and it just sort of hung out. Not a bad little critter...maybe should have traded that one for the normal acting one that I currently own
Just kidding...the other one isn't found in this area....a little farther north......so it's staying here with me to help kids figure out the difference between the watersnake and the cottonmouth.
It actually wasn't raining (at that time) it's just bubbles and such in the swamp that you see.....It was a pretty cool piscivorus though...just sat there for the longest time while we photographed him!
Ah a little prevent a mite would take care of that...they are my favorite species of common stuff though...they are truly an elegant snake...sleek and fast. Crappy temperaments but I have gotten pretty good at catching them without getting tagged. There are people breeding them, however small the number. They are so common that most people just catch them and keep them. I try to avoid w/c animals but I do have a few. Long term captive copperhead and watersnake and my cottonmouth was about a month and a half captive. There are more breeders of cottonmouths and coppers though than the other stuff. I have them for educational purposes and well...because I love the Agkistrodon species in general.
