mullet:
 It look's like a Timber rattler to me. Moccasin's are usually darker

NTD:
Head shape is a little short and too boxy IMO to be a timber but the patterns sure are close.

mullet:
 It's a canebrake, look's like it was smacked with a shovel. :)

NTD:
The head scales from the nose back have 2 large then 3 then 2.  Timbers/Canebrakes (C.horridus) have many and much smaller scutes on the head.  Here's an example.  http://www.ectotherms.net/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=1705
 The presence of those large scutes nails it as a cottonmouth
