This is one of my favorite venomous snakes!

I know that they get a pretty bad rap, but they aren't all bad. In fact, I really enjoy these guys.

The Water Moccasin (Agkistrodon piscivorus) is a fairly common snake in the southern United Snakes. They are the only semi-aquatic pit viper in the world, and are often found near the water.

I did not meet them until we moved to Arkansas, and now we know of some places where they can readily be found. Their most common foods are frogs and fish, and they do not lay eggs but rather give live birth to their young. Though many are terrified of them, they will usually just try to get away or simply display their large, gaping mouth when threatened. Enjoy the video!

The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.
